Glimpses of Heaven

"God is close to the broken hearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed" - Psalm 34:18 Losing someone you love is, simply put, heartbreaking. This week I found myself wanting to reach out to my dear friend Fay for some encouragement. I wanted to hear what...

Living Ready: A Tribute

A precious soul and dear friend, Fay, left this earth today a little sooner than expected. Nothing prepared me for the news as her husband, Glenn, and daughter, Gillian, shared the details with me over FaceTime. Up to that point, Fay was still on life support and the...

Beyond The Cover

We so often hear the saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover!” I remember the first time I heard it, I was just a young school girl in the library with my class. If I’m not mistaken, it was my grade three class. We had this sweet, gentle librarian, Ms. Hearn, who always helped us pick out the best books and she knew the books we’d love. This one day while I sat on the floor scanning through the books, I overheard Ms. Hearn say to one of my classmates, “Don’t judge a book by its cover!” Curiously, I wondered what she meant by that.

Give Thanks

Let’s be honest, 2020 hasn’t been what we hoped it would be when the clock struck midnight that last day in December. We all shouted “Happy New Year” while we hugged and kissed those who were there to ring in the new year. No bubbles, no restricted numbers, no lockdowns! Who would have imagined such a thing? I know my mind couldn’t even fathom the thought had someone pre-warned me! I think I would have taken a rain check on 2020! Or maybe skipped it altogether.

My Comforter

My Comforter

When I was a girl, my grandmother White, Dad’s mother, made me a comforter. It was covered with flannelette and filled with wool. In the deep cold of winter, I could cover myself with this blanket and be warm… cozy even. This hasn’t been the easiest winter for me. Now...

Happy Birthday Sweet 16

My thoughts go back to when I turned sweet 16... I will try and recount them as accurately as I can. It was a pretty uneventful night... or so I thought it would be uneventful. I had actually gotten ready to go to bed! Then I heard noises coming from outside my house....
