Tuesday 18 NovemberOne week today! I woke up better, prayed about the day before and today and delivered everything, including my feelings, into Christ's hands. After my devotional, I took a shower and put my nursing clothing on as I would attend some pregnant ladies today. The plan was for me to start the consultations … Continue reading Mission 2.0 – Week 2:

How To Be A Daughter?
The answer to that, I did not know. It may sound weird, because once we're born, I guess we're all automatically sons and daughters. But think about it. If parents, who become parents once their children are born, have preparation courses and books on how to parent and be parents. And they spend years learning … Continue reading How To Be A Daughter?
When The Urge to Sprout Is Stronger Than The Urge to Stay Buried
26-10-2025Waking up in the morning with the urge to write… to put it back out there, to release, let go, open my arms and jump again. Trusting, freely, lightly. With “leveza”.

No, I'm now sitting down … Continue reading Nurturing My Heart’s Garden
