In your corner
This is the place to come for inspiration, motivation and rest. Successful people have failures. That is how they achieve their successes.

We all need someone in our corner when we feel bruised and battered....

My mother’s hands
I remember listening to a Christian singer, must use inverted commas for that (in American, quote marks), singing My father’s hands… Amy Grant. I would sing along driving with my son, down long California roads, on camping trips. I wasn’t … Continue reading
