Good things (Art) take time
An hour and 20 minutes into our journey to Bristol from Cornwall, still an hour and 20 more minutes till we make it home to Peterborough. I’ve had enough time to reflect on a few things. As an artist running a small business, my brain is always on super charge, thinking of creative ways to…

Rooted (Shedding)
I’ve been in a still position staring at a dark room silently speaking to God over the past hour or so. At 8 pm, the lights went out so I retired to my cousin’s bedroom for a short lie down, what else do people do within those two hours? It eventually ended and feeling tired,…

Senses
The atmosphere this morning felt a little different while witnessing a murmuration. Such mornings shouldn’t be missed; God’s wide canvas wonderfully painted as the world without much motion but clouds, reveals colours in the sky. The air is brisk, strange how that suddenly happens on cue once October greets. Gone are the long days of…

Life & Lemons
Finally, a morning with light and blue sky! Yesterday I saw more rain in a day than I did the full three weeks on our “home & away holiday” in South Africa a few weeks ago. I hate to say this, but it is indeed typical British weather. I’ve put the kettle on, waiting for…

False Starts and the waiting
I’ve had this beautiful song by Emily King on repeat in my head since yesterday, a pivotal day something life-changing didn’t quite happen as I’d faithfully expected it to. False Start is the title of the song, and I’ve assumed it’s based on a breakup. In my case, a representation of letting go of a promise from…

Ceramic Vases. Etsy Shop Update
April, YOU have arrived! Although Spring starts in late March in Britain, let’s admit it, the weather hasn’t been giving much other than rain and moodiness, especially in the East of England where I’m based. I’m always excited about seasonal change, mainly in the winter. I’ve written enough times on here about my dislike for…

Happiness should not be a foreign expression
Sharing your happiness too is A TESTIMONY.There’s something positively contagious in witnessing someone’s sincerest inner joy shine outwardly, don’t hold that back.With good intentions, let people see what God is doing- THAT’S PRAISE!And may the next person catch it. I’ve just been watching a social media friend’s story post feeling nothing but moved by their…

The drive to Belgium
Coffee and the last of my macarons for breakfast this morning as others indulge in hard-earned sleep; the snoring is very telling, the reason I’ve failed to make up for the tiredness from the Belgium drive. It could have been ‘waffles and coffee’, but once you’ve had the famous Belgian delicacy, its beautiful sweetness is…

The Yellow Hotel, Jnane Tamsna
How can you visit Marrakech and not visit the infamous souks? Jemma- el Fnaa square that’s calm by day and enchanting by night. In fact, how can you visit Marrakech and not stay a few nights within those red walls of the medina when to truly experience Marrakech, is to submissively explore the culture of…

With age comes… An inner child
‘Children, obey your parents [as God’s representatives] in all things, for this [attitude of respect and obedience] is well-pleasing to the Lord [and will bring you God’s promised blessings].’ Colossians 3:20 7 am in the morning, coffee machine running in the background, vibrations from the boiler ringing louder than ever in this quiet house. Outside,…
