There’s something quietly radical in that old verse that says we’re worth “more than many sparrows.” For a long time, I thought of it as just a pretty idea meant for someone else. In my own mind, the math almost never worked out. I spent years wrestling with self-worth—feeling less like someone special and more … Read more
Finding Meaning in My Three Everyday Essentials Life can sometimes feel overwhelming with all its noise and clutter. So, I recently took a moment to reflect on what really matters to me. When I stripped away the excess, I was left with three everyday essentials that shape who I am: identity, connection, and freedom. These … Read more
As a printing business owner, I often reflect on the experiences that have truly shaped who I am. While formal education and training have certainly played their part, nothing compares to the lessons I’ve learned from running my own printing business, Splash Colour Imaging.

Since Milo, my miniature Dachshund, entered my life, I’ve learned that life with a Doxie is never boring. He’s transformed … Read more
I took Milo downstairs before bed to do his business on the lawn, and my neighbour was tinkering in his garage. I managed to snap this image, which I quite like. Some ordered chaos.
