When the right soul walks into your life, it feels different. It's not just romance; it's a shift. They don't create drama; they bring peace. They don't dwell on your past; they honour the strength you built from it. Their presence pushes you to heal, to rise, and to grow into the version of yourself you've always been capable of becoming. It's not simply a relationship. It's a partnership in...
Our little ministry is always quaint, never predictable and intimate. That is why I love it. About 10 of us meet once a month on the first Sunday. I found myself thinking about Sunday’s address in the Methodist church afterwards, turning it over in my mind. If I had wanted to be critical, I could easily have listed several things that did not quite work — there was repetition, a slightly...
