Encouragement for the heart. Devotionals, faith reflections, and Christian Living for women in every season.
As I think about ending the year gently, I am reflecting on how I can be living intentionally for the year ahead. Its funny how quickly you can lose a rhythm that once grounded you and brought you peace. You don’t realise that it has happened until you begin to notice that you are not …
Have you ever wondered what life lessons we can glean from nature to apply into our lives for better connection and mental well-being? I find that being out in nature and free of the distractions of busyness and technology, I am free to slow down enough for my thoughts to have room to breathe and …
Winter has come marching in… Winter has well and truly arrived in North Wales. We woke on Wednesday to snow-capped hilltops and a scattering of snow in the garden. I, of course, was thrilled! I LOVE snow and seeing the countryside cloaked in her winter splendour. We were certainly not expecting to wake up to …
We are just a few weeks away from the start of a new season, my favourite season of all…autumn. I am aware of the fading summer garden and the shortening days. I am no longer awakened at 4am with the rising sun, and I am having to switch on the lamps earlier in the evenings. …

Have you seen the term “romanticise your life” cropping up all over social media? I confess—I was baffled. The idea seemed innocuous until I dived deeper, watching well-crafted videos and influencers living out unbelievably curated “slow lives.” Honestly? It feels like nonsense. The Social Media Illusion Yes, romanticising your life means cherishing the beauty in …
There’s something deeply comforting about beginning again. I often think of how the seasons gently turn, always arriving in their own time, never rushed—never scolded for being late. And perhaps, our hearts are much the same. They, too, move in seasons. Some are fruitful and focused. Others—well, they drift a little. And that’s okay. I’ve …
For the Christian woman who longs to return to a life of peace, purpose, and grace I walked past a quilt top that I first pieced together in 2017. It still is not finished! I have started hand quilting the top but the fact that it has taken me 8 years to get to this …
