And so the sun sets on another year of the boys in school. Year 1 and 3 are dusted off and put on the shelf. The last year has been surreal to say the least. But for now I sit glad of 4 weeks off work in front of me. Time to hang out with the goons. Time to have time off, enjoy space, mooch around with my team and generally practice a simplified life. So I’m going dark on these social media spaces for now. Time to reduce my inputs, lean into my core and enjoy the present moment in front of my face. Have amazing summers one and all. See you on the flip side. #goingdark #timeoff #summerholidays #backsoon #sunset #schoolsoutThere aren’t many better ways to start the day. #seaswimming #endorpins #happy #joy #blueskies #brightonlife #hoveactuallyFeeling the weight of this beautiful ending to John O’Donohue’s birthday blessing as I sit at the end of a lovely day.A treasure trove of delights. A delicious heap of wonder. A cavern to be explored. A feast to be tasted and a stack of worlds to enter into. Love my birthday stash. #birthday #books #wonder #delight #loot #happysigh #wheredoIstart?Insanely pretty morning with the parents at the lovey Leonardslee Gardens. In true 2021 style husbandface was out of the picture with feeling grim post second vaccine but we had fun, melted in the heat and came home for birthday cake. I might be 43 tmw but apparently never too old for some good old hedgehog joy cake from my Mum. #birthday #leonardsleegardens #tirednow #beauty #cakePretty epic 48 hours away from the smallest members of our team. Time to relax, eat good food, walk in pretty place, read books and enough time to miss them. Heading back today with a heart full of gratitude for my parents looking after the boys, for their v peaceful house and for my co-captain of this ship we are on through all this crazy life adventure. Now. Back to the fray. #rest #timeoff #grateful #favouriteandbest #beauty #reading #joyArchives

One of the most important joys I have found in my weakness is the joy of knowing that I am not alone. I am not the only one. My weaknesses become all the more paralysing and hidden when I think … Continue reading

Weakness pt 4. A Case study.
To help me think through what dealing with weakness looks like in practise I thought I’d dig deep into one of mine. It’s one that still daily affects me but is being worked on by our amazing God. I am a … Continue reading

Weakness pt2 – Some questions for you.
As promised here’s part 2 of the weakness contemplations. This is the one where I ask many questions. Or possibly the same question over and over again: are we really ready to admit to being weak in our churches and … Continue reading

Breakfast with an old friend. Good chats of realising things this afternoon. The unoriginal but yet still unnervingly surprising thought that even in my greatest strengths there will always be weakness, and that is more than ok because my identity … Continue reading
