Prayer doesn’t change God

My prayer, meditation and contemplation does not change God’s mind. It changes mine. God is Clear, Consistent, Serene and Self-Sufficient. There is nothing to change, re-align or take on-board. He is Complete and One. God cannot be manipulated, nor does He need to be. God is not some distant harsh deity that needs to be […]

Embracing Autism

Last weekend was world Autism Awareness Day and we marked it in this household. Actually, we celebrated it with another household, an amazing family that had invited us over to a celebration BBQ. Like us, they have an autistic child and wanted to make a celebration of the day. And what a celebration we had! […]

Love should be the only tie that binds

A note to the ‘congregation of Believers’ otherwise known as ‘Church’, ‘Club’, ‘Community’, ‘Fellowship’, ‘Temple’, ‘Ashram’ etc The tie that binds is defined as the shared belief or other factor that links people together. Surely and ultimately, LOVE should be the only tie that binds us together, not beliefs, doctrines, dogma or creeds. Otherwise, our […]

The lone journey

Some steps need to be taken alone. Itโ€™s the only way to really figure out where you need to go and who you need to be. @MotivationApp This quote from @motivationapp is so true. It has been a hallmark of my journey to date. Have you ever felt lonely in a room full of people? […]

The quest for wholeness

The unholy alliance of our ego, body and mind makes us less than whole. The ego body mind alliance is self referencing, self informing and self reinforcing. At its core, this unholy alliance is one built upon and sustained by illusion, insecurity and fear. To restore balance and wholeness, the unholy alliance of ego, body […]

My reckoning with the effects of trauma

Several months ago, I spent quite a lot of time looking at a photograph of my 2-year old self. I made it a part of my almost daily meditation and reflective practice. Gazing upon the face of my 2-year old self, I wondered at the experiences that have shaped who, what and how I process […]

Living life on purpose

Living life on purpose is more easily said than done, but it is not impossible. I believe that it is the Father’s intention and destiny for each of his own. It is triggered by a heart hungry for meaning, and involves letting go and allowing ourselves to be led through the process of the Fatherโ€™s […]

Authentic living

I asked God to deliver me from my fears. He did not. Instead, God delivered me from the fear of my fears. In that moment, I found myself. I found freedom. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. […]

No tidy? No lunch!

Iโ€™m probably not going to win โ€˜dad of the yearโ€™ award for making a tidied up play area a condition for feeding them lunch. But Iโ€™m afraid desperate times call for desperate measures! No one told me raising kids could be such a messy, stress inducing untidy affair! Itโ€™s so much more worse for a […]
