    Rebecca’s Story: A Mother’s Heart and God’s Plan

    November 4, 2025 - By 

    Rebecca’s Whisper  “Run! Don’t look back”, I whispered softly, squeezing my son to my bosom one last time. I watched him run into the inky night with nothing more than a satchel across his back as the sobs rocked my body.  My beloved son.  As his figure disappeared into the shadows, my mind drifted back to where it all began; a cool, windy evening as the desert winds howled, and the orange sun dipped low in the sky lower in the sky.

    Getting your groove back as a new mom

    January 25, 2024 - By 

    Having a little human can come with lots of mixed feelings. It sometimes takes the mind a little time to catch up with the enormous changes that we’ve experienced physically. I remember holding my baby girl and feeling like I lied on my CV. Celebrities make it seem like a walk in the park but remember that they probably have a line-up of help like nannies, chefs, a personal trainer, and so on. Being a two-time mom, the best advice I could give is to take it slow and be kind to yourself. I realize that most times we could…
