About
I expect this blog will reflect the lenses through which I see the world – from four years of infertility, to reflecting on the present & past journey to know God and myself, to the current challenges of life – including being a mother of a food allergic child (tree nuts, eggs and fish). I hope that readers from many different walks of life will feel welcomed, recognzied and respected here.
The title of my blog comes from a poem by John O’Donohue and it feels so right for where I am right now:
I would love to live
Like a river flows
Carried by the surprise
Of its own unfolding

About the names I will likely use here – I’ve decided to borrow from some of my favourite books & authors. I’ll use Justin (J) for DH (from Georgette Heyer’s ‘These Old Shades’ and ‘Devil’s Cub’); Peter (P) for DS and Lucy (L) for DD (both from C. S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia). If I could choose a name for myself … hm maybe Eilonwy from Lloyd Alexander’s Taran Wanderer series. But since I don’t normally talk about myself in the 3rd person, I doubt I’ll have a chance to use it!
