The Lake Moment: My Mini-Stroke

In August 2024 , by the quiet of a lake, my world momentarily stuttered . It wasn’t a dramatic, lights-out event, but something more subtle and, perhaps, more profound: a mini-stroke. While the physical effects were relatively minor, the experience left me with a puzzle that has resonated deeply with my understanding of who and […]

The Confines of Grace: Awakening to the Power of the Present Moment.

I learnt this lesson the hard way: Stop kicking the can down the road. Stop leaning into a future event, present activity, or expectation as a crutch for stability or a basis for your identity. I don’t think I’d ever truly lived in the present fully as myself; fully independent of external milestones, projected pit […]

Becoming Whole: My Journey to Authenticity

Shifting Focus: from external goals and achievements to the inner journey of walking with the Holy Spirit. Five years ago, a profound shift occurred within me—the centre of gravity in my life moved to “the journey.” The journey is a conscious walk with God the Holy Spirit as my active companion, guide, teacher, and helper.

When Nature Screams: A Spiritual Call to Question “Normal”

Have you ever watched a nature documentary and felt a pang of unease at the violence unfolding before your eyes? Perhaps a lion taking down a gazelle, or a pack of wolves chasing a lone caribou. Is this truly the “circle of life,” or is there something deeper, something more unsettling, at play?

Your life: a treasure hunt with clues everywhere.

Feeling lost or stuck? Sometimes the biggest clues are hiding in plain sight! Do you remember a time you had an ‘aha’ moment that seemed to come out of nowhere, but changed your course?

Beyond Words: The Unseen Name of God

The name of God, whispered throughout time, is not what you might expect. It is not a word uttered with the lips, nor a sacred scroll written upon parchment. The true name of God is the signature of the Divine upon our very hearts. Like a seed carries the blueprint of its full potential, so […]

Hunger for meaning

The ego needs success to thrive; the soul needs meaning .. Richard Rohr. These words jumped up from the book at me, not to teach me something new, but rather to confirm something I had already discovered. The game is rigged. No quest, goal, or project ever delivers on its promise to fully satisfy. Each […]

You experience shame. This is not said to deny the reality of your circumstances, but to offer you a doorway to healing and freedom. Use the fearUse […]

Reality check

At some point in our journey, we all encounter a reality check. Your life, provision, source, and substance do not come from the world you perceive through your five senses. For some, it’s a quiet nudge or a niggling question: ‘Surely there’s more to life than this?’ For others, it comes as a full-blown, life-altering […]

Mondays, Doubts, and Divine Reminders.

Many of us, myself included, experience the internal tension of being both divine essence and human. I’ve accepted this profound truth, yet navigating its consequences can still be a challenge. Some days I’m energized, focused, and clear. Others, doubt and daily worries cloud my mind. Yet, I’m deeply convinced of this journey’s authenticity and the […]
