Happy Thanksgiving from South Africa (where no turkeys can be found to roast.) but... there is so much to be grateful for on this journey of life! The Apostle Paul wrote, “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” ( 1 Thes. 5:18 ).  In everything? Even in the terrible, no good , very bad days? How do we do that? “We sometimes think that being...

Ghia – I spent the first half of the November lunation gathering thoughts about gratitude and discovered alchemy, which I am here to share on the November full moon. In this episode, I also share what I have learned from the waning side of the moon cycle. Web site of Tricia Walker https://www.triciadwalker.com.au/

Hey it's Spring in South Africa! Time to Spring forward... but wait. not too fast. I have a question, do you ever feel like life is unfair? Are you waiting upon a miracle? or running faster than you have strength? me too! I tend to learn things the hard way. One truth I just recently learned....

Happy 100 Birthday President Russel M. Nelson! So what do you give a 100 year old prophet for his birthday? He’s asked for a lost sheep. In the parable, one of the shepherd’s 100 sheep goes astray, and he leaves the 99 to go into the mountains to find it. When he does, he carries it home on his shoulders, rejoicing. President Nelson said, “One spiritual offering that would brighten my life is for...

Yay! spring has sprung here in South Africa on this side of the world! I am loving it! Just when I thought I couldn’t do any more freezing gloomy days- Spring arrives just in time. The seasons are great teachers of change.

This August 9 I'm celebrating Women's Day with my South African Sisters! Which turns out to be a fulfillment of a blessing given to me by a patriarch 47 years ago.

Maybe you've heard of the equation: E+R=O The EVENT added to your RESPONSE equals the OUTCOME! todays small step is how to add laughter into the response to create a joyful outcome. How many times have you laughed today?
