‘Labels And Boxes’
It’s always interesting to me – how people seem to love to put labels on others – or to put them into boxes. Only the other day – speaking with a friend – she touched on this subject – which gave me food for thought – for my blog post this week. I have found…

As I was preparing to write my blog post this week – I wasn’t finding inspiration – until I listened to a voice message from a dear friend – who simply encouraged me in my writing – and suddenly – there was my inspiration! And – I was reminded me that – “Inspiration – can…

‘A Different Approach’
Before my brother returned to Australia – he gave us all a very thoughtful gift. Mine was a jigsaw puzzle – but – one that was unique and unlike anything that I had seen before. It was made of many small – and unusual – wooden shapes – and the puzzle itself was in the…
