Weekly Photo Challenge: (escape)

another great wordpress photo challenge theme and so many different places where i could take this from but i decided this time to rather focus on one area - that of improv and my time with TheatreSports, now called Improguise, in South Africa who i got to spend about 11 years with making stuff up with and really just one of the most amazing opportunities and things to be a part of... like 'Whose Line [...]

how to be a man by Rudyard Kipling

well, actually, this pome is titled 'If' but po-tay-to, po-tah-to... my wife linked to this the other day and i remembered what a powerful read it was... hope you enjoy [especially if this is your first time... and it works for women too by the way!] 'If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But [...]

psalmthing to chew on: psalm 55

this is not a completely happy psalm. here we see David once again, who was the same guy who brought us this in Psalm 23: 1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with [...]

Weekly Photo Challenge: (Pattern)

Wot another great theme, the great ones being ones open to a range of interpretation... so many pictures, so little space, but had a variety of shots that jumped out at me to use in this post, each bringing their own personal flavour to this Patterned Buffet: Clockwise from the top left we have: # the patterm formed by row upon row of white fluffy cloud hovering over the water and nature scene [...]

When the tears fall [worship song by tim hughes]

i have not met Tim Hughes personally, but i was once in a room with him [and quite a large room at that] it was on a trip to visit my sister Sue and her family in a town called Rancho Cucamonga near LA which must have been 2006 or 2008 and i organised my ticket so i could stop over in London long enough to take the bus to visit some friends in Holland [...]

Taboo Topics: Parents of young children – Meet Nicolette Ferreira

Some days, as a stay-at-home mom, I literally find my self walking around the house, doing nothing… Please note: this is NOT because I am lazy or that there is nothing to being a stay-at-home mom (and part-time freelance writer, let me just add – by the way, why do I feel like I have to justify myself?!)Anywhoo…If I decide to sit down in front of the computer to do some writing, Alex starts climbing up [...]

psalmthing to chew on: psalm 54

this one really is a short one... so let me include it: 1 Save me, O God, by your name; vindicate me by your might. 2 Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth. 3 Arrogant foes are attacking me; ruthless people are trying to kill me— people without regard for God. 4 Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me. 5 Let evil recoil on those who slander me; in your faithfulness destroy [...]

The Invisible Woman [a follow-up to Candi Fourie’s ‘Parents of young children’ post]

so more than 1000 people have viewed the post my friend Candi graciously shared with me about being a parent of small children when it doesn't necessarily go well or feel good all of the time [which for this little blog is a lot of people which has been exciting to see and will hopefully continue to encourage those out there who may be struggling with some of the same stuff] and so this is [...]

Another week, another 'The Weekly Mash [and Peace!] - see what's been happening this week on the other side of my blog garage...
