Navigating the New Normal
Sometimes when I look back at what the world has gone through this past two years, I must admire the resilience of humanity.

Businesses have had to stop and close; airlines have been grounded; schools closed;Continue reading “Time for Celebrations”

I’m frustrated. I’m exhausted. I’m done! Anyone else? It can’t be just me?? I still often wonder how we have got to this place? How are we still here? Why can’t we make this all stop?

The sun was shining and the warm gave its last bow for the year, as just two days later I had converted toContinue reading “The weather outside is frightful…”

I’m not a green finger and gardening generally is not my thing. But… I do love the majestic beauty of a sunflower under the clear blue sky in summer. One of the benefits of lockdown is we were home most of this summer to nurture our garden and so we decided to plan some sunflowerContinue reading “The Power of Nature”
