This is the story of my journey into Love … For the sake of this blog, if you were to ask who I am, my answer would be, loved. So loved. Loved beyond imagination. It has become my life journey, to give myself permission to be loved and to enter into its depths … I’m not very […]
How both privileged and devastating it was for Hosea to be chosen to reveal Your heart toward humanity; to be the one who would live out the expression of Perfect Love, knowing and experiencing both delight and gut-wrenching grief – the extremes of emotion that can only be known by one who has truly […]

Yesterday, I went to a 90th birthday, a person whom I have known for 40 years, mum of a friend. I have always liked this family and their beautiful quirky chaos.
