"Do whatever He tells you." – Jn 2:5
About 3 months ago, I was launched into a major personal transition. This was the latest bend in the road in my ongoing discernment and discovery of personal vocation. Quite without warning, I was propelled into planning for a major new creative undertaking and a new business – something I had never in my life […]
Is there anything more delightful and healing than the innocence of pure love? It has been two days and I am still deeply moved by the adorable encounter Miko had with a neighbour’s baby girl. What is it about that encounter that is such a peak moment for me? Why was that tableau somehow so […]
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 […]
Mother’s Day isn’t a celebration for everyone. 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.

I was gently exhorted today by a priest to let myself be ministered to by others. His caring words (after a wonderful confession) almost made me tear. The truth of my lived experience is that unless I intentionally, consciously sought out to be ministered to, I rarely am. Even when I was working full-time in […]
In my last blog entry I shared that I have accepted that God created me a free spirit. And that is true. I had long denied my deep need for freedom to be who I am because I did not trust my desire for freedom. I did not trust my emotions. I did not trust my own […]
As I reflected on what 2015 has meant to me, I realised that this is the year that I reaped the fruits of the difficult years of growth before it. After a much needed year of sabbatical, I began to be able to piece together what I have learned about myself in the previous 6 years […]
