About – Why a blog?

That’s what I was asking myself. I’m only an ordinary woman after all, living an ordinary life, in an ordinary part of north-east London, but a friend (thank you, ‘dreamer’) encouraged me to go ahead anyway…

Here are just a few words about myself for anyone who doesn’t know me and who might chance across this page…

As a Christian, I would hope to reflect on how my faith impacts on other areas of my life, sharing some of my discoveries and thoughts. I love exploring prayer and worship, how we can be better connected with God. Along with my church, I am thinking about ways of making Christianity relevant to people in the 21st Century – ‘Fresh Expressions’ or ‘new ways of being church’ are phrases that are often used. I care about matters of equality such as Fair Trade & Trade Justice and also have an interest in disability issues, especially epilepsy and severe learning difficulties (about which I have first hand experience).

I enjoy art (both being creative and the work of others), music (listening – many different types – and taking part, particularly singing), reading (again many different types), cooking and food, travel (especially to France) – and I am very fond of cats.

I expect my posts will be a mixture of items I have enjoyed, laughed at, feel passionately about and have been moved by – things that I want to record both for myself but also that might be worth sharing with others.

I may be ‘ordinary’ but I am also unique and grateful for the ‘hope eternal’ that Jesus gives.
