I’m in the final week of living here, which is bizarre but great. As I said in my last post, I feel ready for the move, ready for the next thing. I think it’ll be good for me. This week was meant to be filled with work, long drives, saying goodbye, and packing. Only I’ve … Continue reading Taking Some Space
I’m in the midst of moving, which is exciting. In just over a week I’ll be living somewhere new, which I don’t know if I’ve fully processed yet. With all the practical aspects to keep me busy, as well as working, I haven’t had many opportunities to just stop and let myself think about it. … Continue reading Onto the Next Thing
There is a dream I come back to. When I was in late high school, I dreamt that my home was on fire and everything was burning. As I left the house I grabbed my Bible and nothing else. We lived, but none of our other possessions made it. I come back to this dream … Continue reading At Home: being faithful with what we have
I have written about the seasons countless times. It is perhaps the thing I admire and appreciate most of God’s creation (other than flowers, maybe). I love that God gave us organised change, and the chance for something different and new. The beginning of each season always feels like a blessing; starting something is special. … Continue reading Slowly Receiving Autumn
I aspire for simplicity, and the beauty that comes from it. What do I mean by simplicity? I suppose I could use it in a few different ways. If something simple is not showy, and if simplicity is plain, something in its barest form, then I want to attach that to how I live. Buying … Continue reading At Home: A Simple Life
I must confess, I enjoy washing the dishes. While I like a clean bathroom, I do not enjoy cleaning it. It is perhaps the task I struggle most to get through – though it is done every week and before guests come over, and it never takes as long as I think it does. But … Continue reading At Home: Washing the Dishes
I’ll admit; there are times to buy aprons! There are times when we move house and we can organise things in new or better ways. We may have more space for linen, an extra bedroom, or a laundry with a sink. These are good things, and they can be a relief and joy to us … Continue reading At Home: we do what we can
Dear friend,I’ve been pondering the importance of home. Of having a place for ourselves in which we can be comfortable and at peace; a space for ourselves and those we love.Our home, or whatever space is ours, is a natural reflection of who we are. The more I tend to a space, the more relaxed … Continue reading Newsletter: home again
Hello again! To my right sits my morning cup of tea and my current cross-stitch project, something I've been working on during Sydney's lockdown. For those who know me, I don't think you'd call me adventurous. I've always been most comfortable at home, and easily fill my time pottering around the house. Writing. Cooking. Gardening. … Continue reading Newsletter: rediscovering creativity
It’s been just over a month since leaving social media permanently, for good, and about three weeks since updating my phone to be Google free. I feel more at peace. Even though I tried to use Instagram well when I had it; that is, I didn’t follow many people and was intentional about what I … Continue reading Finding Peace without Instagram
