Life for many of us is lived in the fast lane! We have full schedules, long lists of must do’s and very little time to pause. Often our hearts are responding more to the beat of our smart phone notifications than to the heartbeat of our Lord. But when we take time to respond to… Continue reading The Rhythm of My Heart

Space in the Pace
People often comment that they need to "Carve out time". The use of the word carve is definitely appropriate for the effort sometimes required to rest!!! It takes intentionality to slow down, to turn down invitations, to unplug, but it is oh so worth it! Not stopping is one of the risks of the 24-7 society that we now live in.… Continue reading Space in the Pace
My 10 minutes of turbulence
I love flying. I love the exhilaration of the takeoff as the airplane picks up speed on the runway and then fluidly lifts into the air. I love the landing with the rush down the runway. I love looking out the window (I'm a window seat girl!) at the clouds that look like soft cotton wool or the cities below when it is… Continue reading My 10 minutes of turbulence
Mathematics of Life
I'm no mathematician - it certainly wasn't my favourite subject at school! But I have learnt that we can apply the principles of mathematics to life. I always knew that algebra would come in handy! For as in any maths equation where balance, equal sides to an equation is required, the same is needed in life. So it's… Continue reading Mathematics of Life
Good Mum, Bad Mum…
Remember the "He loves me, He loves me not" game with a daisy that you'd do? Pulling a petal off one by one to see if it ended with "He loves' me or "He loves me not." It struck me today that it's something we can also play with our lives. Maybe it's the "Good mum,… Continue reading Good Mum, Bad Mum…
The Equilibrium of Life
Equilibrium – a state in which opposing forces of influences are balanced. In economics, physics and chemistry the term equilibrium is used to define balance – a system in which competing influences are balanced. Whether it be supply and demand in economics or the net force in physics. Equilibrium is a fancy world for balance. That mid-point… Continue reading The Equilibrium of Life
What I learned from a traffic jam
"Travelling home from holiday we had quite a few choices of routes home. All really much of a muchness (or so we thought!). For on our chosen route we encountered a traffic jam - a big one. One that had us in stop / start manoeuvres for a good 30 minutes. Frustrating enough if… Continue reading What I learned from a traffic jam
The Curated Life
I've always thought being a Curator would be an interesting job. Great job title too! Effectively you take care of objects - artwork, collectibles, historic items. I imagine beautiful objects - the Mona Lisa perhaps, works of Monet, Michelangelo's statues. Ok probably bits of broken pottery that is thousands of years old. Still, I imagine life as a… Continue reading The Curated Life
Stuck on a Rollercoaster
I don't do rollercoasters. Period. The recent news that the rollercoaster at our local entertainment park broke down leaving people stuck in it at the top until the fault was fixed has served to strengthen this resolve. Bad enough being on the rollercoaster with the dips and climbs let alone being stuck at the top. Although, given life is… Continue reading Stuck on a Rollercoaster
Musings of the Night
2 am. And I'm awake. Wide awake. Lying in bed and wrestling with my thoughts. Somehow in the darkness of night it is easier for worry and fear to take hold. Whether it be financial or health worries or work stress, the thoughts can feel overpowering. Waking the next morning, the light of day makes them easier to… Continue reading Musings of the Night
