I had been so excited this year – when the courgettes – that I had grown from seed – seemed to be doing so well. However – you can probably imagine my disappointment – when as the first courgettes began to grow – it became obvious that all was not well. I realised that the…

‘Nourishing The Soul’
Sitting in the quiet of the morning – I was once again aware of the need to nourish my soul. For my soul – is the essence of who I am – or put this way – “Your soul is the power and core of who you are – feed it well” All I am…
‘Those Special Bonds’
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…

‘Look For The Glimmers”
I am so blessed most weeks – to enjoy having flowers in the house. This week – I had glorious vases of daffodils – and so – no surprise I guess – my thoughts immediately turned to Spring. The weather was dark – grey and wet – and yet there was a real sense of…
‘Face The Sun’
I was thinking the other day – about how I would describe the beginning of this new year – for our family. There are a number of adjectives that I could use – words like – disruptive – messy – noisy – busy – and so I could go on. But yet again – I…
