When I first picked up a paintbrush, I believed that I couldn't paint and I wasn’t sure what I was looking for. I just knew I needed a way to express the storm inside me. Art became my refuge, a place where my heart could speak without words. Over time, I discovered that creating spiritually inspired creations wasn’t just about making something beautiful. It was about healing, about connecting with something deeper, something sacred. And that’s what I want to share with you t

Shame is a thief. It creeps into the hidden places of our hearts, whispering lies that sound like truth. It doesn’t live in the realm of logic, because shame is not about reason. It lives in the shadows of the amygdala, where fear and survival reside. Guilt says, “I made a mistake.”  Shame says, “I am a mistake.” When I first encountered the Loved, Chosen & Free  seminar in May 2020, I discovered that my whole life had been shame-based. That realisation was confronting, but i

When life feels heavy, and the weight of emotional wounds presses down, where do we turn? For me, the answer has often been found in the gentle embrace of others - in the shared stories, the collective sighs, and the creative sparks that ignite when hearts come together. Healing in communities is not just a concept; it’s a lifeline. It’s a way to rebuild, to find strength, and to transform pain into purpose. I want to take you on a journey through the power of healing in comm

Living the Kingdom Culture of Kindness, Courtesy, and Consecrated Responses "Be careful how you handle any soul in the flesh; you cannot see their rank in the spirit. The one you belittle may be a gatekeeper of your tomorrow—an unseen throne in God’s courts. Walk in honour, for heaven hears your tone before the world sees your deed. — Steve De’lano Garcia ”   Those words stir something deep in me — not fear, but reverence. A holy awareness that every person I encounter bears

I never imagined that picking up a paintbrush or moulding clay could change my life. But here I am, sharing how artistic healing practices have transformed my emotional landscape in ways I never thought possible. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or just plain lost in your feelings, this might be the gentle nudge you need. Artistic healing isn’t about creating a masterpiece. It’s about expressing what words can’t capture. It’s messy, raw, and deeply personal. And it’s

Rewriting our relationships in Christ’s love By the time I was six, I had already concluded that relationships would not last. After being the “new kid on the block” five times before age six, the pattern was painfully set. Thirteen schools and thirty-four homes by the time I reached eighteen only helped to cement this judgment about life and people. This belief—that relationships don’t last—became a hidden blueprint for my adult life. It led me to brace for rejection, to wit

The Missing Piece in Our Health Journey Many of us know the frustration of living with chronic illness. We face unexplained symptoms, receive diagnoses with no apparent cure, and often discover that, for all its incredible value, modern medicine does not always offer answers or cures. We pray for healing and follow doctors' orders, yet the sickness lingers, urging us to wonder what we might be missing. Dr Henry Wright's life work reveals a profound truth: there is an often-ov

A gentle revelation of fear exchanged for God’s design From the time we are small, labels can cling to us like invisible cloaks. Perhaps you were called “the shy one” at school, or quietly compared to a louder sibling. At first, these words might seem harmless. Yet over time, they take root and begin shaping the way we see ourselves. Shyness becomes a cage, a false identity stitched into our story. I know this well, because I once believed that was who I was. The “quiet one.”

Healing is a journey we often take alone, but what if it didn’t have to be that way? What if the path to emotional and spiritual restoration was something we walked together, hand in hand, through shared experiences and creative expression? I’ve found that when we come together as a community, something magical happens. The wounds we carry begin to soften, and a new sense of unity emerges. This is the heart of collective healing methods, a powerful way to mend not just oursel

A gentle unpeeling: discovering the canvas God painted before the world began For decades, I believed I was an introvert. I wore the label of “shy,” carrying social anxiety like an invisible cloak. It felt like part of my personality — something permanent. Yet one day, I heard a statement that stopped me in my tracks: “If you’re painfully shy, it would behove you to ask the Holy Spirit if that is an inner healing issue.” So I asked. Holy Spirit, in His gentleness, began to pe

There’s something deeply comforting about holding a book filled with memories you’ve carefully gathered over time. It’s not just about photos; it’s about the stories, the emotions, and the moments that shaped us. I’ve found that creating personalised photo collections is more than a hobby - it’s a way to heal, to reflect, and to celebrate life’s beautiful imperfections. When life feels overwhelming, flipping through those pages can feel like a warm hug from the past. The Powe

It’s an honour and a privilege to serve you. Whether you know me through art, healing gatherings, or a quiet moment of prayer – thank you for being here. I’ve been reflecting lately on the power of saying yes  to leadership. Not the loud, polished kind. But the sacred, surrendered kind – the kind that whispers, “Here I am, Lord, use me.” Because the truth is, I didn’t say yes out of confidence. I said yes out of surrender. My journey into leadership didn’t begin with a platfo

I never thought art could be a sanctuary until I found myself drowning in a sea of emotions I couldn’t quite name. Have you ever felt that way? 🤔Like your heart is carrying a weight too heavy to bear, but words just don’t cut it? 🤔That’s where healing through creative arts stepped in for me. It wasn’t just about painting or drawing; it was about unlocking a part of myself I didn’t know needed saving. Why Healing Through Creative Arts Matters When life gets messy, sometimes

When I first encountered art inspired by faith, I didn’t expect it to touch me so deeply. It wasn’t just about pretty pictures or religious symbols. It was about a journey - a spiritual journey that invited me to explore my own heart, my own struggles, and my own hope. Have you ever felt that pull? That quiet nudge to express something too big for words? That’s where faith and creativity meet in the most beautiful way. I want to share with you how this kind of art can become

There is a melody that often rises up in my heart:🎼 “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and they are safe.”  🎶 It’s more than a song; it is Scripture woven into music, anchoring me when life feels overwhelming. 📖 “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe.” — Proverbs 18:10 (NKJV) The Tower That Holds Us Secure We all seek safety. Some of us try to find it in relationships, finances, routines, or control. Ye

The unseen inheritance of spiritual compromise When my husband and I chose our wedding date — 31 October 1992 — we were very intentional. We wanted a day unshared by birthdays or other special events, a date that would belong solely to us. Back then, Halloween hadn’t yet reached South African shores, so the idea of our anniversary clashing with it never crossed our minds. Three decades later, it still grieves me that this day, sacred to us as a celebration of covenant love, i

Healing is a journey we often think of as deeply personal. But what if I told you that healing can be so much more when it happens within a community? 🤔 When we come together, sharing our stories, our pain and our hopes, something magical unfolds. It’s not just about mending wounds alone; it’s about restoration that lifts everyone involved. I’ve walked this path, and I want to share what I’ve learned about the power of healing in communities.
