You don’t have to be blooming to be growing
As you may know, I love looking at nature and seeing what it is saying to me and what lessons I can learn from it. I believe the messages in nature are very powerful and speak to our spirits. So often our society puts pressure on us to be performing in so many ways to...
The Beauty of Thorns
Roses are one of my favourite flowers and one of the most popular worldwide. There are more than 30,000 varieties of roses with still more being cultivated because of their timeless beauty and sweet-smelling fragrances. Roses, as we all know, are a symbol of love. The...
Find the Good in Social Media
Social Media is as we all know a very powerful tool, for the good, bad and indifferent. Today I wanted to look at the good things about social media whilst not denying there is plenty of bad and indifferent. As you would all be aware, social media has been something...
Celebrating Our Families
Our beautiful little granddaughter Elka turned one recently and we had such a beautiful time celebrating this milestone on Saturday. My daughter-in-love Anneke planned and executed the most wonderful party along with help from our son Daniel. As soon as you walked...
Welcoming 2020
As a child, 2020 seemed so far away, almost out of reach. In fact, I don't recall ever hearing of anyone mentioning the year 2020. I think back to the year 2000 when we were all convinced that Y2K was going to change the way we lived and worked forever. Many of our...
Be Kind this Christmas
On Wednesday it will be Christmas Day. So, from myself, Rob and all of our fantastic team at Little Miracles I want to say a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year that is to come. I recently watched a video of a comedian who asked people to stop complaining and...

Saturday mornings are one of my favourite times in the week. Rob goes off early to play golf every Saturday and so I have ALL morning to just BE. I love time alone to be still and know God and know who I am, who I want to keep becoming, who is most important in my...
We Were Built For Relationships
It is such a joy to us when we are living in strong, healthy, loving and supportive relationships. There is no denying that to have a relationship with someone (romantic or friendship alike) who adds value to us, who doesn’t expect us to be perfect and loves us with...
Let Peace Begin With Us
Christmas is definitely in the air whether it be through the constant flow of Instagram stories of families sharing images and time-lapse videos of tree decorating, or the endless 'special offers' flooding our feeds with ideas for that perfect Christmas gift. Our...
Find the Joy in Christmas
As soon as November ticks around, suddenly the colours and décor of our local shopping centres get a festive face-lift. Consumerism is at its merriest in December, and for better or worse sometimes it can take away from the real meaning behind the holiday season;...
The Power of Memory
Memory is everything. And even though it is a very complex idea I think it can be simply separated into two categories; the storage of information, and the notion of remembering something from the past. The complex study of brains and neurology and the exact capacity...
The Phenomenon of Gramping
I’ve been thinking about all of your little ones this week. And more specifically thinking about children and childhood memories. It’s October, and so as summer is beginning to poke its way through the morning chill that has been in the air, I have been reflecting on...
