Every morning I make myself a cup of coffee, sit on my couch and look outside unto my garden. Not long ago, I pruned my mexican petunias for Spring, so currently, they are just these little sticks with a few leaves on them. However, one or two new shoots have already grown, eager for Spring’s…
This translates from Spanish to my house is your house or 當自己屋企得喇 (treat yourself at home OK). It means … well exactly what it says; you are most welcome and consider my house now as your own. In other words, you are no longer a guest but a member of the household, so go grab…
My husband and I enjoy rock climbing and here, in Hong Kong, we have some excellent granite slabs with fantastic panoramic views of the city. Hong Kong is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, because the concrete jungle blends with the natural jungle and can be best appreciated hanging from a 70ft…

This caterpillar started out as a brightly coloured, multi-patterned, hairy beauty that ate half of my banyan tree. I tolerated its gigantic appetite for…
Lately, I have been asking Jesus to let us loose so that we can run with Him; asking Him to release us from financial and time restrictions so that we can go and do whatever and wherever He wants to lead us. As I requested this again yesterday, He gently replied, “Run in your restrictions”.…
In the last couple of days, God has told me twice to read Habakkuk. Yes, one of those obscure little books somewhere in the Old Testament that you have to look up in the table of contents to find. The first time I read through the account of Habakkuk’s vision, it reconfirmed to me that…
