Australia Day, the 26th of January, is a controversial date but the reason behind the celebration isn’t what a lot of people think. There is so much to unpack here, so I hope you will take the time to read this.

You were on His mind before the world began;In the darkness and space, you were part of His plan.As He created the world and all things good,And when He punished the evil with a world-wide flood. You were on His mind through many generations;Noah’s, Abraham’s, and every other nation.The world … Read More
Dearest Friend, It’s been a while since we spoke, but I have seen the change in you. I wish I could say it’s a good sort of change. But it isn’t. Darkness has so clearly taken a hold of you, and the change in your face, your expression, your eyes… oh my friend. I see you … Read More
Dearest Friend,
Some days really are better than others. For me at the moment, there are a lot of days that are better than the ones in the present. And there are some things you need to know.
I understand that you are one of many people who go through life having no idea what it is to feel depressed or to experience anxiety. And that’s okay too.

I have been encouraged and inspired to become a better person through all of this, and I hope that by sharing these things, someone else might be encouraged too. Here are three of the latest things I have learnt, which I consider to be extremely valuable life lessons:
Dear younger me, I imagine you won’t even recognise me at the moment. Life has changed so, so much, and I have too. Becoming an adult, marriage, parenthood, and just life things have changed me in to such a different person, and I have a few things I want to tell you. You’re 10 now. … Read More
Why life has been so crazy (and why you haven’t heard from me for a while), followed by the drama of my overthinking and anxiety (and why we really don’t need to overthink and stress).

My dear friends, I’ve been a little quiet for a while, I do apologise for that. Life has been pretty crazy for me, for all of us in my household in fact. Josh has been busy with his work, working long days and long hours. Henry has been growing fast, and is busier than ever, … Read More
