Been a while since I did a tea post. Recently, I've been enjoying Traditional Afternoon Tea. Great fresh, bold taste, with a deep brown colour and goes well with a sweet pastry. Rating 4 out of 5.
I was taught to think and I do not apologize.
I was taught to think. To question. To not be satisfied with an answer until I have seen all sides and made a decision based on sound research. After years of further study (about 9 years of postgraduate study), it usually comes as second nature. Granted sometimes I'm not thinking straight or my short attention … Continue reading I was taught to think and I do not apologize.
“To me, a lady …
"To me, a lady is not frilly, flouncy, flippant, frivolous and fluff-brained, but she is gentle. She is gracious. She is godly and she is giving... You and I, if we are women, have the gift of femininity. Very often it is obscured, just as the image of God is obscured in all of us... … Continue reading “To me, a lady …
The other side of the storm.
Someone requested recently that I write a post about what happens after a shipwreck, they were encouraged by my 'In the midst of Shipwrecks' post. What do you do when your world has fallen apart, you have weathered the rising tides and woken dazed and confused on the shore? So here it is. I don't … Continue reading The other side of the storm.

Frankly some days I don't feel like I have much of anything in comparison. Not a lot is made of Gentleness. In fact sometimes it's seen as a … Continue reading Gentleness is powerful too: An Easter reflection.
Wingspan is not enough
Apparently the wingspan of a wedge-tailed eagle is 2.3metres. I was a little humbled by that recently when I bought 2 metres of fabric and realised how long that wingspan is. It is one of Australia's largest birds of prey and I have always loved these birds, along with the American bald eagle. Initially I … Continue reading Wingspan is not enough
Singleness and Grace part 3
I used to dread Valentine's day. Not because I was a 'down with love' kind of girl, I wasn't. There were usually 2 reasons: I found it really superficial, and it would always remind me I was single. I hate superficial things and I hate being reminded of things I can't change. Yet, deep down … Continue reading Singleness and Grace part 3

Singleness and Grace Part 2
There was nobody standing in line. That metaphorical line of men waiting to date. Zilch. Nada. I couldn't even pay someone. It hurt. I would drive home from a wonderful party with friends and cry the whole ride home. So many times I would pull out a little box I nicknamed my dream box. It … Continue reading Singleness and Grace Part 2
