Today’s question: Are you serious …?

The question I have today is this: “how serious are you about taking back your life and health?” I have embarked on a six-week journey with a functional health coach, and this is part of Week One’s self-reflection. My objective is to discover how to reduce my dependency on refined sugars and hopefully lose some… Continue reading Today’s question: Are you serious …?

Where did the time go?

I have a confession to make … I am easily distracted! I had a plan to write and post every week … and guess what? Weeks have gone by without so much as a single word from me. I do have excuses (although that old adage “the pathway to hell is paved with good intentions”… Continue reading Where did the time go?

My Aha! Moment

I had an aha! moment recently. The topic of faith was being discussed. Faith, hope and love [Colossians 1:4-5]. These three are very closely linked together, and the lightbulb flashed. Faith is talked about. A lot. We’re told “have faith; things will work out, they always do.” But what does that really mean? The Bible… Continue reading My Aha! Moment

Change is hard

I find it so fascinating that a plant I had sitting in my kitchen for seven years didn't flower. I moved house, and it has flowered continually for the past six months. Its leaves are full and healthy, and the flowers are lovely. I think that we're like that too. We exist in certain circumstances… Continue reading Change is hard

“Walk habitually in My presence”

Habits … an ongoing theme in my life! My life has changed so much over the past four years and now that I’m starting to settle, I need to review my routines and habits and make sure that they are healthy and helpful. Habits are not inherently good or bad. They just are. According to… Continue reading “Walk habitually in My presence”

Sunday came and everything changed!

In my last post, I talked about the significance of Good Friday. Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday are the most important holidays for Christians, irrespective of denomination. Jesus died on the cross. On the third day, He rose again. I wonder what it must have been like for the disciples and the followers of Jesus… Continue reading Sunday came and everything changed!

And the Light went out …

On Good Friday we remember what Jesus Christ has done for us. We remember that He went to the Cross and died so that we could be reconciled to God and live with Him eternally. It struck me when reading through the crucifixion scriptures that when Jesus gave up His spirit and breathed His last… Continue reading And the Light went out …

There is always an escape route

During my prayer time recently, I got to thinking about the movie we went to see - "The Lost City" with Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, Daniel Radcliffe and Brad Pitt. It was the first time in forever (two years of lockdown can feel like that!) that we’d been to the movie theatre, and it was… Continue reading There is always an escape route

Grieving to Gratitude

Grieving is a necessary passage and a difficult transition to finally letting go of sorrow – it is not a permanent rest stop.Dodinsky I am so grateful that I woke up today. I’m so grateful that I am alive and healthy and loved. Yes, I miss my husband. Yes, I wish things were different. But… Continue reading Grieving to Gratitude

April Fool? … Fooled Ya!

So, you thought it was Spring, did you? Just kidding! Yesterday was a gorgeous spring day with sunshine and temperatures peaking around 16oC. And today, winter is back. This week has been like that. One day with springlike weather, the next wintery mix of snow, ice pellets and blustery chilly winds.  The journey through grief… Continue reading April Fool? … Fooled Ya!
