Overwhelming Kindness
I recently had a bit of a situation as some of you will be aware, and yes it was of my own making. I will also admit that I took a bit of a confidence hit with it too. I let stress overwhelm me and made some very big mistakes because of it. But it…

What are you grateful for?
When a message keeps coming your way, you better start paying attention. I say that because for the last week or so, I’ve been noticing the word ‘Gratitude’ more and more.

Gratitude
In the garden, in the trees, the birds are chirping. Our car breaks down and we are stranded, but the birds are chirping. The fridge-freezer failed us – again, still the birds are chirping. Some seeds won’t germinate, no matter what I do and the birds keep chirping. We have food in our bellies and…
