Am I too late to wish you a happy new year? I hope not! I hope you had a lovely Christmas break and that you spent it with those you love. Also, thank you for joining me in 2019. If I'm very honest, I didn't think I'd still be here. I thought this would be one of those things that I would give up a long time ago, and while I could do better in terms of consistency, I am proud that I have kept it going. So it's one week into the new year. Do you have some resolutions, or have you set int[...]
I was going to write a different post - but here we are! It was time for a journal. If you saw my instagram post from yesterday, you had a sneak preview to what my week has been like. I've been down this road many times and at different stages of life and I've officially had it!

I know this has been creeping in over the past, and now more than ever Christians have started to incorporate 'new age' teaching in their daily lives. It's everywhere[...]
Welcome back! I hope you had a lovely week. This is my second journal following week 2 of the fast. I've been physically fine - very few cravings this time. I didn't meal prep though, but managed to stay on track. I also managed to incorporate some exercise (PIYO) on top of my usual 80 minute walk (needs must - I don't drive and need to do the school run). My body feels great and 'light'. I feel very well. My emotional and spiritual experience has been more difficult though. For the most part I[...]
As you know My husband and I have been on the Daniel Fast sine 1 January. I can say that it hasn't been easy - particularly on the food front. I have had every sort of craving under the sun - even for things I haven't eaten in a while like goat meat! Yes - goat!!! I also admit that I had good intentions in making some popcorn for the family - and I kinda ate the whole bag by myself - not my finest hour that one! My poor husband came downstairs having being lured by the smell - only to find an em[...]
