When he stepped into our home, he took his shoes off instinctively. He did it as if to suggest he already felt right at home. It was his first time round our place, but he helped himself to things as though he slept there and was another family member. He felt right at home. No […]
Read More Right At HomeI watched something recently that made me sad. I saw things that were meant to be so beautiful, corrupted by the pursuit of money and power. Relationships so sacred were sullied by deception. Interactions designed to help each other were full of mistrust and disrespect. Enforcing this was a system that was more concerned with […]

Especially when certain people suffered in particular where others did not appear to suffer that much at all. Almost a decade since it hit and there is little indication that what was done was fair, equitable and just. Understandably that […]
Read More Cutbacks to Go ForwardCommunication goes a long way to getting things done. Recently I had two conversations that startled me. The first was going very well until we hit a point of contention. We don’t usually disagree, but we certainly did then.

Read More Living and LearningWe love this couple. By we, I mean Authrine and I. We love this couple. They are so beautiful together.
