by Victoria, in category Encouraging
giving and receiving with grace

Are you able to give with an open heart and receive with grace? Are you like me and do a better job of giving compliments rather than taking them?

You Matter

by Victoria, in category Encouraging, Grief, Growth & Transformation, Personal
You Matter

A Different First Christmas – from my heart to yours. Someone I know lost their father yesterday – somewhat unexpectedly. I found myself feeling quite sad for the family.
