This hair holds a lot of lessons for me – like how giving something up on God’s instructions doesn’t mean that you’ve lost it, …or how it often comes back better, bigger than it was before, and sometimes in no time at all (if you saw the hair after I chopped it off in 2018, […]
It’s never about the victim. Abuse, in all its forms, is an expression of one human’s blatant disregard for the life and dignity of another human, regardless of gender, age, race, or position. It is an abuse of privilege, and the most significant of all wounds that can ever be inflicted on a human –
No Fear, No Helplessness, No Defeat. In our last mail, we looked at fear: how to handle the emotion, push back on the feelings, reach around the scare and anxiety to push forward to success. (You can read a recap or download the audio file.) Today, we’d be looking at DIMINISHING. Diminishing is a fancy word for when
It’s a nostalgic season: this past week made it a year since I published my first book: The CHASE In 365 days, it’s been followed by 3 more, and I’m working on the 5th book as I write this. When I think about writing, I often tell myself that I do not have much to
I miss you! No kidding. I know I love to stay (and work) indoors, but this lockdown is a different scenario. I Miss being able to call for hangouts and have brainstorm sessions with so much light and wisdom blazing, warm bear hugs and kisses, plus the beautiful fellowship of good food. On the other
Rain patters The mad hatter should not be blamed for mindless chatter I would too, trapped as I am in an endless cycle of sunrises and sunsets without a clear distinction of what day it is The days of the week start to look like a mindless invention of ancient past When it’s clear that
Maybe we are mad, and they’re sane …cos sanity is usually predicated on the premise of the majority Different, yet needed… not weird Because we need answers, fresh and workable solutions very unlike what we do see The channels of solution must be pure, untainted …uncoloured by the experiences they wade through …forging ahead in
The first time that I handled a needle and thread, I was an 8 year old determined to complete her term’s project for Family Living. Even though it took me twice the time it took the rest of my class, I pressed on through my summer break and finished that pair of shorts by hand. The next
I’ve got a gift – or several – for you this evening. They’re pretty extensive, so follow the story line. First off: I was looking back at the past few years, and here’s what I noticed. Every single exponential upgrade that I’ve had between 2016 and now have been triggered by praying with DDK. I’m
1 Cor 7:5 …outside were conflicts, inside were fears… Building a business is often tougher than it looks: on the outside, you’ve got to get through the red tape of administration, staying legal, growing your customer base etc. Then you’d need to work out the logistics of operations, managing people (especially staff) and planning
Strength is not in never falling, it’s not a stumble-free journey. Strength is winning, simply because you chose to not accept the latest failure. One step in front of the other …keep breathing You ARE strong Happy International Women’s Day #IWD2020 #eachforequal
Happy World Book Day ?? (Yup! I pulled out of a pretty good book to post this, so you’d better read to the end lol) Books are grossly under-rated, but it’s nice to see the international community come together to celebrate the one dynamically evolving tool that we rely on most heavily to shape our
“The currency of relationships is tricky, yet the most natural thing in the world.” – P. K. Hadassah 2018 One of the most annoying statements I’ve heard from a person, is “I value relationships”. Half the time, when someone has to say that, they’re looking for personal gain, and can feel it slipping through
When a yes blindsides you You’ve been hard at work, giving it your best. You know that it’s way beyond you: you’ve reached out for help, gotten turned down, either because they can’t help, or because they can’t see what you see. (I’m ignoring the category of those who just don’t want to help).
Perception is everything (yup! I know – it sounds cliche. But when you take a moment to consider that cliches are cliches because of the iota of truth they contain….). Perception is the lens through you see the world, sort of like your eye to observe and interprete ANYTHING that your senses detect. So how
