This piece is dedicated to the beautiful fields that have been my sanity for 17 years of Chronic Illness and the few before. I have spent many hours just absorbing their beauty. And it is endless. Before I became ill, walking them with my children and then doggo on my time off from work, jumping … Continue reading Ode to a Field
This post began three years ago, as 'My Reading Choices for 2018'! Now into 2021, it is just a little bit overdue. Not the books, thankfully. I didn't borrow them from a library.

I had tried to emulate some styles I have seen on Instagram and admire, which are very much shades off mocca, neutrals and pinks. But after drawing our goldfish, you can … Continue reading Landscapes And Water
He is Risen Indeed Hallelujah! John 20:17-18 NIV 17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” 18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen … Continue reading Christ is Risen
Trigger Warning: Bereavement, Funerals and Covid19 The beginning few weeks of 2021 have been very heavy on our hearts. And I have been extremely hesitant about writing this post.
