Myself at the centre
This year, I found myself joining a virtual wellbeing group set up by a friend on WhatsApp. A small community of young women who want to develop and sustain a healthy lifestyle and need to be held accountable. I’m not quite great with communities, but I thought it would be nice to belong to an…

The One Who Turned Back: Finding Gratitude When Time Cannot Be Rewound
We have all been there at some point in our lives. Staring at a plan that did not make it to fruition, missing an important deadline or the pressure of a circumstance beyond our control. In these moments, our hearts cry out for a redo. We say to ourselves, “If only we could turn back…

The Unspoken Work of Friendships

Letting it go!
Yesterday evening, I went to the Vigil Mass at my local church in Sheffield. As I sat there, my eyes drifted to the altar, where a powerful Bible verse was boldly written: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest… For my yoke is easy and my…
