Dear Sunday… thank you for being a wrap-up rest day… that all the South Africans all over the world (desperately) need after the game yesterday #GoBokke!!! Dear Bruce… celebrating you last Friday with your induction to the Prince Albert Raiders’ Hall of honour was a highlight of my year. (Yes, better than meeting Mr Oilers Manson!!) Congratulations again! (And thanks ATyaman Yaman and Vanessa, for making it so fun). Dear Kansas, I am coming to visit you with friendship bracelets and all. So excited to be teaching art journaling at a retreat for Illustrated Faith this week. I must bring some red slippers too. Dear sunshine and chocolate, thank you for adding sweetness and light to my life. This just had to be said. Also, if you are looking for one of the best classic movies ever made: The mirror has two faces on Netflix is brilliant. Dear God, thank you for reminding me: “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” (Matt 11:28)
