Recently, I was asked to drink 500 ml of water before I went in for a scan. I had to keep my bladder full for an hour … a bit hard to do at the best of times, so I didn't want to drink even one drop more than required. I am glad to tell you, that despite the discomfort, I managed pretty well. (...
In the recent past, I found that my fine motor skills were slipping. In all honesty, those skills were not all that good to begin with. And lately, it's got even worse. I seem to drop things effortlessly … total butter fingers! Arrrgh! Bending down takes more effort from this not so young lady, so each time I dropped...
Over the last 21 years, I have, with my GP's support, trialled innumerable supplements, in search of healing from chronic illness. Most supplements didn't make the grade, so I'm thankful for the few that did. One which received top billing from me last year was one called Lion's Mane Mushroom capsules. It was said to help the brain fog...
I've had painful feet for most of my life and have coped pretty well. So it was a rude shock last year, when my right foot developed a pain so intense that I couldn't put it down. There was a day I had lunch with a friend in the city. After a happy time together and it was time...
Most mornings, during my Quiet Time, I spend time worshipping God, using videos from YouTube which I sing along with, in my happy place - my little den. Among others, I enjoy those produced by a unique family – two godly parents with a large brood of little ones. The other day, as I watched and sang along with...
One day, last week, God answered a prayer of mine unexpectedly that made me dance for joy. I wrote a blog about it at once, one I planned to share with the world on December 1st. But … a few days afterwards, things started to unravel. A cyclone hit Sri Lanka. My heart breaks at the devastation that Cyclone...
A few weeks ago, my well-worn purse refused to close. It was time to get a new one! I searched my bottom drawer for an old purse I could use for now and was pleased to find a smart black and brown wallet I'd forgotten about. I reasoned though that I could still do with a new one. My beloved...
The lead up to my birthday was a challenging one because my naughty little body had gone on strike. I've learnt to pace myself in all I do, in order to decrease fibro fatigue and pain. But sometimes … just sometimes, in spite of my exhaustion, events that I know God wants me to take on board are thrust upon me. And this was one of ...
I was rushing off for an evening class one day, as a nineteen year old in Colombo, Sri Lanka, when the sound of a loud crash reverberated around me. I stopped in my tracks, wide-eyed, heart pounding, As I moved a little closer to the scene of the accident, words wafted in the air, 'What a terrible sin he must have committed!'...
A collection of wild videos popped up on my computer screen the other day. "Rapture Imminent" they screeched. "Confirmation of Rapture" they yelled into my unsuspecting ears, in loud tones ... like the sound of a trumpet at dead of night. There were so many of them! Dozens of little children have been having Rapture...
