This website is ‘organic’ but is structured in such a way that a person has the opportunity to explore their hopes and fears with others. The posts are given character with the use of images which describe the writing. So far the site is being tested by a small numbers of subscribers. Just like a seed grows slowly and requires time to germinate, so we are allowing the site to show itself as we work together with our own particular insights and gifts. We welcome your positive feedback and contributions to the site.
