Life is a journey filled with transitions-some bringing immense joy, while others may cause hardship, sadness and pain. Reflecting on my own experiences, I’ve come to realise that the outcome of these transitions wasn’t solely due to the changes themselves, but rather how I chose to navigate them.

Prototypes of Hope and Strength
The world is struggling. Just watch the news and you will have to work hard to stay positive. At the same time the struggling world needs people like you and I who can see and feel the struggles, pain and setbacks but then pause and choose to respond differently.

There were also some hope-giving and inspiring testimonies, but they were few and far between. Our lives have changed radically, and so has our way of life. Continue reading Navigating Uncertainty
