Here’s my post for the Share Four Somethings March 2022 link-up. In the last couple of months I’ve also matched these four somethings to my blog tagline – body, mind, heart and soul.

Wide,… Continue reading The Power of Songs of Faith

How Do We Show Children They Are Enough?
My one word for this year is enough. As I was writing the post about my one word for the year, I pondered how it’s a great word for children as well. Children need to know that they are enough, just as they are. That nothing they can do or not do could make you… Continue reading How Do We Show Children They Are Enough?
How and Why Affirmations are Helpful
For nearly 2 years I’ve been loosely following the miracle morning routine of SAVERS. This stands for Silence, Affirmations, Visualisation, Exercise, Reading, Scribing. Some parts I focus on more than others. When I first heard about the idea of affirmations, I wasn't sure if it would work.
