Worry and Hope

Worry and Hope

I’ve heard about the downside of worrying, like what Newt Scamander said in the movie Fantastic Beasts, “Worrying means you suffer twice.” Or how worrying prolonged your suffering to start earlier than it should. Or how worrying makes you suffer for nothing when in the 

Bread of God

Bread of God

God spoke much to me through the bread-making/inner healing workshop at Panis The Village. So I asked my hubs to attend. He returned home with the bread and kept saying it wouldn’t be nice. He had made a mistake and added too much flour to

Watercolours as Therapy
