life :: fureur de vivre

I have this hope. A passion. A must for life. A lack of fear. Nothing holding me back. Love never runs out. Higher than the mountains and deeper than the blue depths of the sea. Overwhelming and satisfying my soul. Breathing in life, and breathing out joy. A harmony of peace and war. A war… Continue reading life :: fureur de vivre

design :: interior

If you know me, you'll know I'm a bit of an art freak. I absolutely adore solo art gallery trips, sketching in new sketchbooks (I usually buy a new one on every trip / gallery visit), and I love painting. I love art that much that French art is going to be 1/3 of my… Continue reading design :: interior

faith :: anointment

The true you is rooted in the God of all creation. I have dived into plenty of devotionals lately, using several plans on the Bible app, as well as reading the Esther study on SheReadsTruth. I wouldn't say I've been searching or seeking out God, but with having not been able to go to church… Continue reading faith :: anointment

year abroad :: toulouse

Determined to see more of France, I hastily reserved an Airbnb in one of France's major cities. For an entire week... Of all my time spent in France (literally since birth), I have visited Dordogne, Rouen, Normandy and Paris and of course, have lived in Libourne, therefore spent time in Bordeaux too. Oh, and Arcachon… Continue reading year abroad :: toulouse

year abroad :: settled

Once again it's Sunday, and I find myself on a train back to Libourne. Church this afternoon/evening was charming, and it warmed my heart I be there after about 6 weeks of not being able to make the journey. With a preach on 'Faith and Freedom' with reference to Hebrews 11:23-29, tonight really struck a… Continue reading year abroad :: settled

year abroad :: frustration

*Disclaimer: This is along the lines of a rant.* I'm feeling a little regretful that I lost track of journaling my days here in Libourne, especially when it comes to a writing a new blog post, but when I'm alone, I just want peace. Or, my bed. I just want to shut my eyes and… Continue reading year abroad :: frustration

life :: impending

It is but four days now until I begin "living" in a country that's not my own. The excitement is rapidly building, and the things that I needed to sort are falling into place, as if they were designed to from the beginning. I'm already absolutely shattered from such a long, busy, yet totally freakin' awesome… Continue reading life :: impending

life :: self

Okay so, I should really be concentrating on getting things sorted for France...BUT there's a current topic floating around the media that I just have to talk about. I'm entitling this post 'self' because that's exactly what it's going to be about. I was watching Loose Women a month ago now - youthful programme I know… Continue reading life :: self

faith :: not

*All views are my own. I'm also not a politics student nor a political expert, nor claim to ever side with a sole politician or political party.*  A big part of political rhetoric, and emotion-building rhetoric of late has been the use of: "We are not ______" When Manchester was bombed on the 22nd May… Continue reading faith :: not

life :: from darlo with love

It feels like SO long since I got a post out to you guys, but the reasons why will all begin to unfold... Saturday saw me travel from west to east to visit my beautiful best friend Alice. Having not seen her for two months, I was desperate to go visit her, the girl who… Continue reading life :: from darlo with love
