Thanks beautiful ladies x
My Own Cheer Squad
I'm challenged these days about how much I rely on others to lift me up. It's right, of course, to encourage each other, and no one is an island. But there's lots of space for me to grow into as a self-encourager. Wiiiide open space. What would it look like? Some out loud statements of truth and...
Phew...glad it didn't sound to sad sack! Hey, love to you both x

I probably shouldn't post today. Too first-day-back-at-school maudlin. Too post book-covering and pencil labelling to be really lucid. But I wanted to mark the beginning of another year of learning and a newish year for me of getting a career happening and other things you do when all your littl...
Awww, bless you Katherine! I look back at what I wrote and, despite the fact that it was overwrought, I should keep taking my own advice! More 'brushing away soil' and less 'brushing off the invitation'.
Day Eleven - The discomfort of fluctuations
I like: Our soul fluctuates between thoughts and feelings we don't like and thoughts and feelings we do like, and we don't like those fluctuations...we try to stop that swing, because our soul's fluctuations are unpleasant to us and it seems as if God wants us to stop them. We think that Christi...

Thanks Melissa - glad to have helped in your avoidance :)
The drag of fear
I've been waiting until I had something to say. It took a while. The alternative was a loop of praise for blue Castello cheese and the Book Depository. I've spoken before about liberation from fear and the buzz-kill, life-kill that lurks in it's shadows. I had a stark reminder on the weekend of...
Melissa, avoidance is underrated x
Day 25: The Discomfort of Half-done
Pretty much everywhere I look in my house, I see incompletion: books half-read, half finished projects, items on their way to being put away when I became distracted, cupboards half-tidy, and half-organised rooms. If I'm not careful, it sends me into a panic. Well worn path. What do you do to st...
Confession, Melissa: I never did ask for that feedback....cleverly procrastinated long enough until, oh well, it was too late. Thanks for your encouragement!
Day 24: The Discomfort of Accountability
You should align yourself with people who will, lovingly, tell you the truth about yourself. You really should. You should also ask for feedback after presentations and failed job interviews. And you should take the fish oil that contains no heavy metals. The one you have to drink from a spoon. ...
