Words To Nourish The Mind

  Hello Thank you for stopping by-I hope you will enjoy this short burst of inspiration. I thought the quote below was very fitting for the last post of January. A New Year is not always full of hopes and dreams. Sometimes it’s filled with apprehension & great fear of the unknown. The quote turns challenges and adversity on its head because it instigates change & the push factors will give us the courage to see it through. A common thread I have read is that human nature is more comfortable with the uncomfortable than the unknown. At times it does feel I have got backwards with having to start over again, that in itself can get quite exhausting. I loved the spirit JK Rowling represents her story would have spoken to most in some shape or form. When your personal life falls apart it can have a truly profound impact on all areas of your life. Instead of being discouraged & negative. It can actually be ...

  Hello Thank you for stopping by-It’s so encouraging to see such a great response to the blog. It’s my last blog post before my first birthday as a Christian & I just wanted to share a special message that would hopefully be some of use / help. Our emotional well-being often gets overlooked. If a room or a cupboard is running out of space or overflowing it’s a sure sign that we need to clear it out. Our emotional well-being is more hidden & less obvious & therefore most likely the part of our body to get neglected. I suffered from headaches, stress & even had physical symptoms such as sore shoulders- I was literally carrying the weight of my life. On a course I did, we had a back pack exercise, the idea is to realise how much we are carrying in our day to day lives. Needless to say mine was overflowing, the follow-up exercise was to let these go in a balloon & start on a clean page. It felt very liberating because when we start again, we start to s...

Hello  Thank you for stopping by. I had a personal breakthrough in the last week or so & am keen to share.  To those who have been following my blog, you may recall my testimony a few weeks back. I do believe that my inability to fully forgive my parent’s has held me back not only in my journey with God, it is also stopping me from being & living freely. I struggle with triggers from time to time & this pose an immense amount of frustration in me that once again I go back to my original thinking, how can you forgive such impact where it’s had such an adverse effect?  In short- I understand the principles of forgiveness but it wasn’t in my heart. I can only imagine it got harden as the years past, to survive and not be broken by this. Whilst it would appear I am getting on with life, the foundations of my mind, spirit & soul is weak so much so it can break at any time. The reality of life is hard enough as it is, without the baggage of the past....

Hello Thank you for stopping by-I hope you will enjoy the short read. I wanted to start 2016 with hope, for some reason as the New Year approached a sense of fear washed over me. I can only put it down to being self-employed & not having that regular pay check, which goes with the territory. On top of that Christmas is a very busy period for the most part, I was physically quite run down too. Hence I have bounced back to be hopeful that 2016, will bring many great opportunities. The inspiration for this blog post goes back a few weeks back. I had a period of self-doubt and I guess I was losing sight of hope that I would ever achieve my desired life, personally and professionally. I attended church one morning with the hope that I be re-energised to continue with my blog & bag. I noticed the word ‘hope’ emblazoned across this young man’s top, who sat in front of me. The word hope resonated with me, as I felt that has been at the back of my mind for many reasons. As ...
