Time to break the silence........that is exactly how I see others treating this subject. In fact its pretty much a non subject. I feel so awkward when I talk to people about our baby journey because I get next to no response. I guess others don't know what to say.  They often say that you can't miss what you haven't had. I beg to differ!  When I meet someone new the conversation goes something like this: " Are you married,? 'Yes.' Great they respond, "How long have you been married? '6 years.' I respond. The next question after that is logical to them, "Do you have any children ?" 'No' I respond 'I have a Chihuahua.' Often that's the end of the conversation or the conversation gets very awkward.   On other occasions I have complete strangers coming up to me asking me do I have children and then they say the Lord says I am going to have children. I am a strong believer and I have a strong faith, I love Jesus and I total...

How did it all begin?  Last Monday evening marked the premier of an initiative I have been calling "Come Paint with me." You may have seen social media posts about this dotted around my channels.  The first in person 'Come Paint with me in person by the Lake was held at a local restaurant called The Wine Press besides the local beauty spot of Hollingsworth lake.  Although Monday was the first in person event. I have been running 'Come Paint with me.' since the pandemic for around 4 years.  One morning I woke up with the words in my head "It's time to nail mental health." I woke up with a start what did that mean? Now for those of you who know me you will know that I am a deeply spiritual person. So now you are going to think that I am into crystals and reiki and all that jazz. Well no I'm a Christian and I believe that as a Christian we can tap Into the spiritual realm. Basically I can hear God and see into the kingdom of God. Now if ...

  Hello there, It is a while since I wrote anything on here.  One of my all time favourite places to go is the beach, I can literally sit for hours and watch the beautiful waves. Not only is it a feast for the eyes but I also love the sound of the waves crashing on the seashore. Sadly I don't live that close to the seaside so when we go it is a real treat. I am hoping to go to the beach in a few weeks time. Whenever we go on holiday its not a holiday unless we go to the beach to see the waves.  There is something so calming about waves watching them lap on the seashore, those sounds can even put you to sleep. The interesting thing about waves that despite their calming affects if you don't get out of their way you can find yourself in trouble. They can literally sweep you out to sea, crash you against the rocks or drown you where you lay.   Recently I have decided to pick up again on the waves theme. I discovered that I have painted quite a few of these but I want to...

  MY VEGAN STORY    I had been feeling for quite a long time that I and we as a couple needed to be a bit more healthy. We were moving towards this steadily but we were eating a lot of dairy. For a few years now I was trying to cut down on meat. We were aiming to eat meat a few times a week like say three times. Then we wanted to eat fish at least once a week. In fact we were eating meat on a Friday not for a religious reason more to do with tradition. I was feeling pretty good about our steady process to get healthier. I had also started to think about ejecting all toxins out of my life. However, to be honest I was not sure how to do that and I am still working that out. For a long time I thought that I could not do much about my diet, and I thought I was doing all I could. I had this niggle (which I would call the Holy Spirit) in the back of my mind though that this was not the case but I didn’t know how. I was starting to look at recipes now and again. I would go thro...
