How I will nourish my soul this Advent
It would be so easy to fill the Advent season with all the amazing holiday activities and brilliant resources available but end up missing the point entirely. Instead of feeling nourished and connected, our souls can end up being overwhelmed and wishing for it all to be over. With so many good opportunities, it can be really hard to find what is best for your soul in this particular time. What works one year may not work at all another year. I want to give you (and me) permission to keep it as simple as we need to, to say no to good things, to tweak and make any suggestions…

Advent Week 3: review and reflection on a mini-breakthrough day
There are only THREE days left until Christmas. In fact, I would say two as we celebrate with my husband’s family on Christmas Eve. I know many people say it, but this time has come so quickly. I still feel like it has crept up on my even though I was organised for Advent and have been doing Advent activities. I definitely was not as organised with Christmas presents this year, which has had the potential to be very stressful. More on how my stress levels are going later in this post. If you have missed any of my Advent posts, you can find them linked below:Advent plansWeek 1Week 2…

Advent week 2: Keeping my peace despite plans failing
We’re over half way through the Advent period already. Last week, Week 2, was hectic with unplanned for meetings, play dates and shopping trips throwing out my Advent plans. I had two choices, be upset that my plans weren’t being followed or keep focused on the present and getting the most out of each day. I would love to say that I was peaceful and loving all week, with an angelic like nature. I would be lying! Overall though, it was a good week, which ended in an amazing night away with my hubby celebrating our 10 year anniversary and my favourite Christmas event- Heathridge Carols in the Park run…

Day 4: The extraordinary in the everyday
Have you ever stumbled across a blog or writer that speaks right to your core? Ann Voskamp has been that for me this year. Her words are full of grace but also hard-hitting truth. I have been challenged and stretched by her words. I have found a peace and centring in the nuggets of truth she brings. This one above was the inspiration point for my 31 days topic. It sums up so much of what God has been brewing in me in this season of my life. To read the post that this comes from, click on the picture to take you to Ann’s blog. I pray that you…
