The exquisite beauty of resilience

No Words Spoken

No Words

She sat quietly in the audience, a tear gently spilled into her lap, maternal pride, a friend reached over, patted her leg – I know….. no words spoken He arrived late, she stirred in her sleep, his arm coiled around her, she smiled to herself – I am home…..no words spoken The kids raced through […]

Party food

I went to a birthday party today. A grown up party, at lunch time. Today is my friend’s birthday and to celebrate she invited a few friends over for a scrumptious lunch.. The majority of us had never met. We all shared one thing, a friend, drifting into her life though work, children and fitness […]
