This week I was so blessed to have a long conversation with my brother in Australia. It was wonderful to catch up – as it always is – and brought to the fore – the beauty of the bond that ties us together. I came across this quote – which I felt summed up –…

‘One Step – One Breath – One Moment’
I find it interesting – that so often – even in the middle of an ordinary conversation – a train of thought is triggered – that has the power to inspire me. I was discussing the progress – or rather – the lack of progress – that I had been making – with one of…
‘Contented’
How much I have loved these past few days – of glorious sunshine – and warmth in the air. Not only have I enjoyed simply sitting and relaxing outside – but pottering in the garden – and clearing away those last reminders of winter. It was as I worked there – in the quiet –…
‘Reasons To Be Proud’
This week was one that was centred around a very proud moment – as one of my grandsons completed the first stage of his training in the police force – and we attended his Passing Out Ceremony. As I stood there – feeling so proud – I was reminded of the many times in my…

‘Recapturing The Wonder’
This week – on seeing a beautiful video of a friend’s new grandchild – I found myself filled with fresh wonder – at this miracle of new life. There is something that pulls on my heartstrings – when witnessing this amazing event – of new life – and somehow – it never ceases to make…
‘Light Up The Darkness’
I’m excited because this weekend we’re going to buy our Christmas tree. But – not only that – the house will be decorated – with candles and lights. I love it – because on these short days – when we are in so much darkness – those lights just make me feel so much better….
