Recovering. There are those who have gone through seasons of depression and addiction. The darkness can seem never ending. To be given an opportunity for some relief and deliverance from the condition can be the most exciting, energising and liberating experience in life. Faith can keep us going, but faith does not make us overconfident. […]
Read More Go For The Lift: One Moment AwayMeans of communication. They’re quite something these days. Send a tweet. Post a photo on Insta. Do whatever it is you’re meant to do on Snapchat (I leave that to my daughters). There’s still sending an email or connecting via video message. I hear there are still people who send letter through the post. As […]
Read More If You Love The CallerNearly there, but not quite. For a long time the group were used to getting nearly there but not quite. Just missing out on achieving their desired outcomes. Just missing out on what they had set for themselves. Nearly there, but not quite. When they explored what could be the reason for this, they were […]
Read More Rest and Be TogetherIs happiness really the priority, are we really suppose dot be doing everything we can to be happy? I’m not so sure. What I am sure about, is that life is far too short to take everything so overly serious. You think about your marriage, you think about your job, you think about the money, […]

Those daughters are blessed with an incredibly expressive and animated mother. They also live with a father who is very much keen on speaking properly. Often their […]
Read More To Be ClearSomeone suggested to me that it’s good to have an order, it’s good to know the order and it’s good to keep the order. It got me thinking … Every so often my family enjoys ordering food to eat that’s delivered to the home. As it has become a family thing, everyone is more or […]
Read More You Have A Problem With Order?“I just want you to be happy.” This is a common sentiment and whenever I hear it, I can often hear the heart behind it. Where I often hear it is from a parent to a child. Not a young child, either. At that stage where the son or the daughter is ready to take […]
Read More Is That The Order? Happiness First?When things are secured, that can give confidence. Apparently there was a time when people would be able to leave their doors unlocked and folks felt safe. Times changed and there was the need to put in safety measures. Now if those are in place, there is a sense that there is security, safety and […]
Read More Solid Line of DefenceIt gets to me as well. An event happens, it’s presented in a way that arouses a strong reaction. It’s emotional and passionate.
