I was so pleased with the success of the bloggin’ blessin’ I thought it would be fun to create another means of letting our online buddies know how much they enrich our lives…so here’s another little slushfest idea. This time there shouldn’t be any confusion about ‘how’ to do it either as there are only [...]

Brother Lawrence’s Third Letter
An excerpt from Brother Lawrence’s Third Letter:
“A little lifting up of the heart suffices. A little remembrance of God, one act of inward worship, though upon a march, and a sword in hand, are prayers, which however short, are nevertheless very acceptable to God; and far from lessening a soldier’s courage in occassions of [...]

Ignore me, I’m just having a (almost dyed) blonde moment….
I stared aghast at my reflection in the mirror….a rash seemed to have emerged rather suddenly and was spread splatter-style across my face in little dark purple dots. Having had scepticemia previously and also having had suspected meningitis, I’m pretty hot on and perhaps even alarmist, when it comes to rashes.
Within the time it took [...]

Sobernuggets anniversary of sobriety!
I sometimes think that we become so desensitised to addiction that it really doesn’t touch us like it should when we hear of this person or that person fighting a battle with crack cocaine or alcohol etc.
We need to remember that people are struggling daily with self abuse and that for them it’s just a [...]

Question about Our Lady’s Blue Sash
I would like to share with you a question from a friend….I’m not exactly sure of the answer myself which when roughly translated means I don’t have a flippin clue to the question and would appreciate my blog buddies input on this….
I know you are a bright lot, so I’m sure those in the now would [...]

Bloggin’ Blessin’ Success!
(click on the above image to send it as an e-card)
I began the ‘bloggin’ blessin’ only a little while ago on the 19th December and by my reckoning it’s reached hundreds and hundreds of bloggers up to this point. In the early days I followed the journey of the bloggin’ blessin’ and it was [...]

Whoopee…it’s a Sister Act!
I’m very pleased to say that a short while ago I had the pleasure of having another of my photographs and a (very) short article printed in our diocesan newspaper ‘Catholic Today’. This time it was about Sr. Mary Felita our parish sister….who was chuffed to bits that her photo had made it into the [...]

How it is right now
Three things I want to mention.
The first is something that I can’t mention, but want to. It would be unprofessional of me to do so though, and so I can’t. Though I want to. But I will beg your prayers. I’m experiencing a situation that is quite upsetting, the outcome of which may dramatically affect [...]

Thank you!
Today I received Christmas cards/letters from Mimi and from Barb! A couple of weeks ago I received cards from Jennifer and Alexa too! Thanks so much for thinking of me and mine in this Christmas season ….I always like to see something other than ‘bills ‘ and invoices on my doormat!

Take One Box…
I’m a spontaneous crafter.
Sometimes I just see something and think, ‘I can do something with that!’
I tend not to think things out.
I’m a very hands on crafter.
If I can’t find an appropriate tool for the job, I improvise. Surely that’s why God gave me ten digits….to stick my fingers together while working on [...]

Brother Lawrence’s Second Letter
An excerpt from Brother Lawrence’s Second Letter:
“I consider myself the most wretched of men, full of sores and corruption, and who has committed all sorts of crimes against His King; touched with a sensible regret, I confess to Him all my wickedness, I ask His forgiveness, I abandon myself in His hands that He may [...]

Bubblegum for the brain
Am I the only one who views the Spice Girls return with scathing scepticism?
I think not.
What is it with all these old groups attempting to make a come back all of a sudden? I don’t mind talented bands once more jumping into the pop or rock foray, but when it comes to talentless [...]

Of hopes and fears, and fallen tears and hope still yet…
Never one to put much stock by New Year’s resolutions, I find myself instead in contemplatory mode.
2008 signals the year when I will cease being in my ‘thirties’ and will enter my 40th year. I find myself looking forward to my 40th birthday with a kind of hopeful expectation, there’s no angst, no nail biting, [...]
