Fall Lightly
I’ve always been afraid of falling. Of making mistakes. Of being found to be less than perfect. Why?

A Spirituality of Homemaking
Almost exactly 3 years ago, I wrote a post on Finding God in House-work. I felt a prompt to revisit this topic again of late. Circumstances have changed since that post I wrote. For one, my home has also become my primary work and living space for the past 3 years. It is where I […]

There are many who suffer their pain in silence on this day when everybody else is celebrating, and if you happen to be one of them, this post is for you. For those without a Mother to celebrate For those who never knew their mother, For those whose mother had […]
Being Woman
My cousin-in-law with her newborn daughter I have read somewhere that all women are mothers, even if we never have our own biological children. I have come to see how that is true. For as I mature as a person, I am finding myself more and more a mother to others. […]
