The ‘Simple Life’! What does it mean? What does it cost me? Where does it take me? On a road to freedom? On a new path to happiness? On an adventure of a lifetime? I’ve just spent a few minutes, checking the dictionary definition of the word ‘simple’. Here are the first 3...

Getting it Right

Exactly two years ago, on October 1st 2010, I climbed up my personal rugged mountain and reached its peak. It had taken me a long long time to get there. What peak? Learning to drive a car! It was an enormous challenge for an over 50 year old. But with an excellent Instructor, a patient...

Have you ever danced with a knapsack crammed full with heavy stones on your back? I have! Well, not literally. But figuratively. I like dancing in the rain, remember? It’s a grand act…. to dance in the rain. A freeing one too. Dancing my cares away…. as large raindrops splash on my bare skin,...

When the wind blows

I sit on my garden swing, breathing in an enchanting spring day. Azure blue skies smile at me. Soft cotton clouds wave gaily as they saunter by. The lush creeper by our back fence is ablaze with delicate yellow flowers; little blobs of sunshine dancing in the wind. A variety of spring flowers...

Last week, I spent two happy days at a gathering of Christian artists of all persuasions called ‘In God’s company’. The purpose of the event was for Christian artists to join together in praising our awesome God; to ‘perform’ and use our talents for God; and to learn more about our craft in an...

I can read your mind

Some weeks ago, I pulled out an old novel from my bookshelf. Mary Stewart is one of my favourite authors.
