How Early Years Shape a Whole Life
What could you do differently? When asked what I could do differently in life, the obvious answers come easily.I could be more patient. I could give more of my time to church or to charities. I could slow down, be more present, give more of myself. These answers are not wrong — but they skim the surface.The longer I sit with the question, the more I realise it isn’t really about what I should do…
The Love That Brought Me Back to Life
What relationships have a positive impact on you? There are different kinds of love, and for a long time I believed only one of them could truly set my heart alight.I loved my late husband deeply. Our love was wild and passionate, full of intensity and emotion. He told me he loved me every day, and those words mattered more than I realised at the time. We lived loudly — in feeling, in…
Taking Pleasure in the Everyday
What skills or lessons have you learned recently? For much of my life, I was always wishing time away.Wishing it was later in the day.The end of the working week.The next stage.The bigger house.The better job.The version of life that always seemed just ahead of me.I lived with a quiet belief that contentment would arrive later — once something else was in place.But loss has a way of changing how…
Bluey, Parenting, and the Beauty of Repair.
What’s your favorite cartoon? There are a few shows that genuinely bring families together, and in our home, Bluey has become one of them. What started as a sweet little cartoon to entertain my son has turned into something that quietly teaches all three of us — my son, myself, and Daddy — about the heart of gentle parenting. Bluey makes us laugh, it gives us moments of joy, and it offers a…
“I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”: Finding Light in the Ordinary
There are some poems that feel less like literature and more like a breath we didn’t realise we were holding.William Wordsworth’s “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” — first published in 1807 — is one of those rare pieces that invites us to slow down, lift our gaze, and see the world with softer eyes. The poem begins in solitude, with the speaker wandering “lonely as a cloud.” It’s a feeling most of…
Becoming the Mother I’m Meant to Be
What is one thing you would change about yourself? There’s a strange kind of freedom that comes with getting older — a softening, a settling, a sense that we don’t need to apologise for who we are anymore. I know I am far from perfect, but I’ve reached a place where I wouldn’t change much about myself at all. Every experience, every mistake, every quiet triumph has shaped the person I am…
Hope is the Thing with Feathers
A Serenity Script Reflection on Emily Dickinson’s Poem There are poems that feel like a hand reaching quietly toward your heart — soft, steady, full of warmth. Emily Dickinson’s “Hope” is the Thing with Feathers is one of those poems. It carries the gentlest kind of strength: the kind that doesn’t shout, but sings. Dickinson imagines hope not as a forceful blaze, but as a small, steadfast bird…
Faith Beyond Religion: The Quiet Strength We All Carry
Faith is often spoken of in religious language — a word threaded through scripture, prayer, and spiritual devotion. Yet faith itself is far more spacious, more universal, and more human than any single tradition can contain. It lives within religion, yes, but it also reaches far beyond it. Faith is the courage to trust in what we cannot yet see.Faith is the willingness to step forward without…
Nina Simone’s Feeling Good: A Song That Rises Above the Storm
There are songs that entertain, and then there are songs that enter the bloodstream of a moment — songs that become part of the memory itself. Nina Simone’s Feeling Good is one of those pieces: timeless, fierce, and filled with a kind of liberation that can only be sung by someone who has lived through storms and learned to breathe again. Written for the 1965 musical The Roar of the Greasepaint…
Light Born from Struggle: The Story of Emmanuel Jal
There are some lives that seem almost impossible — so marked by suffering that survival itself feels miraculous. Emmanuel Jal’s story is one of those rare lives where pain became purpose, and music became a prayer. Born in South Sudan, Jal’s earliest memories were of war. As a child soldier, he was forced to fight in a brutal civil conflict that stole his childhood and scattered his family. Yet…
Sometimes all we need is a tiny pause… a breath… a moment to return to ourselves.

Threads of Light: How Many Faiths Teach Acceptance, Grace, and Everyday Joy
Reflections in Light — A Serenity Script Series There’s a quiet truth that runs beneath every sacred path — a gentle current reminding us that peace, grace, and joy are not bound by any one belief.

Soul Friends — The Gift of Being Truly Seen
When Running Became My Way Through the Darkness
When my first husband died suddenly, everything in my world fell apart. The shock, the trauma, and the weeks that followed left my mind and body in constant distress. Sleep became almost impossible. I would wake while it was still dark — heart racing, thoughts tangled, unsure how to carry the weight of what had happened.
One very cold, frosty morning, when the sky was still ink-black, I left the house just to get some air. I didn’t plan anything. I didn’t even think. I simply stepped outside, started walking down the quiet road, and before I realised it… I was running.
That moment became a pattern for the next year.
I made a running playlist, grabbed my trainers in the early hours, and headed out into the stillness. I ran a lot — sometimes slowly, sometimes just enough to feel my feet hit the ground. My mind focused only on the next kilometre and the music in my ears. For those minutes, the noise in my head softened. I wasn’t reliving the trauma. I wasn’t thinking about the future. I was simply… moving.
As the months passed, something else shifted. I started noticing the countryside around me — the fields, the frost, the birds stirring as the light returned. My body grew stronger. My breath felt steadier. And quietly, gently, my mind began accepting the possibility of healing and the life ahead of me.
I hardly run now. I don’t need it in the same way. But for that time in my life, running was essential. It became my doorway into mindfulness — into focusing on one moment, one breath, one step at a time.
It taught me that healing can begin in the smallest of movements, even in the coldest and darkest of mornings. And it reminded me that sometimes survival starts with simply putting one foot in front of the other, trusting that light will meet you on the way.
Beatrix Potter — Finding Stillness in Creation
Reflections in Light — A Serenity Script Series There is something steady about the quiet — the kind that returns when life feels overwhelming and we need a softer place to land.Beatrix Potter understood that kind of quiet. Born into a strict Victorian home, she spent much of her early life in solitude. Yet within that stillness, she learned to pay attention — to the countryside, to small…
🎨 Faith and Femininity in Art
Reflections in Light — A Serenity Script Series There is a kind of beauty that doesn’t shout — it lingers, glowing quietly like morning light through stained glass.That’s what I’ve always felt in the paintings of the Pre-Raphaelites — Millais, Rossetti, Hunt — artists who sought not perfection, but truth wrapped in tenderness. Their art is rich in symbolism: lilies for purity, flowing hair for…
