As I ponder how grace has evidenced itself today, and how I might share that with you, I’m looking out my windows to see the sun streaming in. From our home on the side of a hill, I look towards the horizon: a seemingly endless stretching line of shadowed mountains and hills, far in Read more…
“At the going down of the sun and in the morning,We will remember them.“ Excerpt from ‘For the Fallen’ by Laurence Binyon Today I took time to remember. To pause and reflect on those who went before. On lives lost, on stories told, and on stories left untold. Words are insufficient. I hope you Read more…
Friday 24 April. Well, just like that, we’re up to the thirtieth day of thankfulness! I’d like to say that time has flown… but to be fair, it’s been a pretty even spread of both slow and fast days here. You’ve already heard about some of the harder ones, so today, I’d love to Read more…
Thursday 23 April. Yes, it’s really Thursday. And yes, I’ve almost reached the end of my 30 days of thankfulness! It’s been quite a journey. Today also marks exactly four weeks since our nation entered lockdown… and what a rollercoaster that has been. You’ve travelled it with me (check out my 30 Days of Read more…
Wednesday 22 April. Today’s thankfulness post is of the lighthearted variety, brought to you by… my husband and his fruit loaf. We’ve always known that he was a little bit fruity, right?!

Tuesday 21 April. I admit that I had prepared yesterday’s blog post, ahead of the news. Along with the rest of the country, I was waiting for the announcement, waiting to find out what comes next. And like many of us, when it came, it hit hard. I decided to stick with what I’d Read more…
Monday 20 April. In a world where things are constantly changing, there are some things that never change. Laundry, for one! And our need for food. I’ve never really been the type to love being in the kitchen. In fact, those who know me well, will tell you that there are seasons in my Read more…
Sunday 19 April. Everyone’s gotta have a bit of crazy, right? In our house we certainly have our share… and today I’m torn between being thankful for laughter… or dancing… or both! Last night we had an impromptu disco. Thankfully for our neighbours, it was at 7:30pm or we might have had some serious Read more…
Saturday 18 April. Today I’m choosing to be thankful for books! This week I’ve made a deliberate effort to set aside technology (including my time on here as I figure out the ins and outs of websites and blogs and so on) and spend time actually reading. You know: turning each page (albeit digitally, Read more…
Friday 17 April. It hasn’t been easy to write these posts; to find something to be (genuinely) grateful for. Every. Single. Day. Even the low ones, the ones where I’d rather just curl up and ignore the rest of the world. I’m sure you get it. I heard somewhere that the stress response that Read more…
