100 Days of Gratitude – Day 2

My family is very special to me, so I know that my 100 Days of Gratitude will feature my family in various photos – today I was blessed to spend time with my parents, my Grandparents and my brothers.  I wasn’t expecting to see my older brother David in town, but he called to see…

100 Days of Gratitude

Over the next 100 days I will be posting everyday, at least one thing I’m grateful for.  The plan was to do it each day from my iPhone so that I can easily take a picture of something and share my gratitude.  Unfortunately, the WordPress on my iPhone is not speaking my language so after…

Honest Confession

Honestly? I don’t blog as often as I want to because I want it perfect (or nearly perfect) every time!!  This was my waking insight this morning…  How often have I had something inspirational or encouraging to share and I have not shared.  I constantly have inspiring thoughts going through my head – someone’s amazing…

Bushfires in Australia

The horror we face in Australia this week has been called our “worst ever peace-time disaster.” I truly don’t know what to make of it all.

Since publishing my journal in December, we’ve been filling orders and posting them from Tamworth to Texas (USA, not QLD),…

Are You Ready?

I was woken early this morning from a deep sleep, following my late night return from the farm. “Oh my goodness! Who is pounding on the door so early?!” It was the third shipment of my Journals, so I opened the garage for the oh-so-chipper Courier and welcomed them in. Life’s a little like that…

Christmas madness…

Christmas madness… or Christmas Fun? I took half a day off yesterday to meet my family who had come to town, and to do a little Christmas shopping with them. Before heading downtown, I considered what the crowds are like down there at the moment. Just finding a place to park the car can be…

Inspired Blogging

One of the things that I love about blogging is seeing the comments that land at the bottom of the page, especially from people like Miki from South Africa!  Another is that I get to share the excitement and learning and I feel like I’m not keeping all the good news to myself!  Good news,…
