It's amazing how an item, place, sound, smell even, can transport you back years to your childhood. Suddenly your mind is flooded with memories good or bad, but hopefully good! My workmate had it happen when our workplace installed a door bell that reminded him of his grandparents' home. I had it walking into my parents' home… Continue reading Memory Lane

The Power of One….Mosquito!
I had a terrible night sleep. If the humidity and heaviness of the air wasn't bad enough my room was also invaded by a powerful fiend....the mosquito.Having stirred, my ears registered the faint hum of the mosquito which got louder as it neared me. I tried to ignore it but couldn't. Light was turned on… Continue reading The Power of One….Mosquito!
She speaks from the heart
I’ve got my glasses on!
It is probably no surprise that the inspiration for this blog entry comes from a Wiggles song. With a 2 year old who is absolutely devoted to all things Wiggles my days always include Wiggles music. Not surprisingly the tunes and the lyrics then tend to get stuck in my head. Yesterday it was the Propeller, today though it was "I've got my… Continue reading I’ve got my glasses on!
Modus Operandi
I'm no Latin expert, truth be told -,I'm not even a novice. The only Latin I know is that of my University Song and the odd English appearing word here and there. So when "modus operandi" was used in a description of my work, I confess I had to google it to see what it meant! Modus… Continue reading Modus Operandi

In Autumn it sheds leaves with such ferocity that neighbours down the street are also sweeping up the leaves that have… Continue reading Times & Seasons
The Hiding Place
The other day my 2 year old and I made a hut out of sheets and blankets. We crawled into the snug place with cushions and had a delightful time. Whispering to each other, singing, cuddles. The sounds of the household - brothers playing downstairs, dad working in the garage, the washing machine going, seemed… Continue reading The Hiding Place
The Power of Kindness
When it comes to impacting our world, kindness doesn't strike me as the main tool of choice. Healing - Yes! Generosity - Yes! Prayer - Yes! Kindness to me felt like the fourth musketeer who didn't quite make the cut. Or the apple bulks up the salad and left over as everyone else has somehow managed… Continue reading The Power of Kindness
The Aroma of Coffee
“Do we harden against God like the egg or take the aroma of God like the coffee in testing situations?” anon I love the aroma of Coffee! Nothing like a whiff of a good espresso to make me want to indulge. Flat whites are my coffee of choice at the moment but I am partial… Continue reading The Aroma of Coffee
