Mini Adventure :: of Seaweed and Sea Eggs

Oh man what a time, this post is photo heavy just so you know. I really wanted to go on an adventure...it was even on my summer to do list! Well...I some how found myself scaling he side of bit of a cliff the other day with a couple friends...
 

When you're making your way through razor grass higher than you are but you have guy friends who are like 'Man up!' lol Don't worry he helped later.

 Hair a mess but don't care.  In dah BUSH! The following pictures depict our descent...

Thread through razor grass taller than I am. Eased down the side of a cliff, stared at species of sea urchins (sea eggs) in their natural habitat up close. Learned so much about them simply by observation. Aren't they so beautiful?!  I think so. Well...not so much the black ones as the other haha. The black ones look so menacing with their longer spikes!! They look like sea cacti or natures balled pin cushion. When I was a child I had a toy one made of that stretchy rubber stuff...these reminded me of them except these are little lives chillin' by the sea side.

It was amazing, that stormy day, the city was practically empty due to rain but the ocean, oh the ocean was perfect. Slightly chilled, filled with sea weed that scared the life out of my voice in the dark healthy water but ah....I'd do it again!

Those are wild flowers you see just growing on old broken steps somewhere about on the rout to our destination. Can't life be just grand sometimes?

Peace. Love. No Regrets.

Project 52 - AUGUST

It's been a crazy and cosy August. Crazy because summer school just went on forever cosy because I feel like I really tried to make the best of my holiday while I had it this year. It's a hard balance to achieve believe it or not and one runs the risk of sleeping it away (mmMMmm sleep!) but this year I think purposefully placing the goal of adventure on my to do list made a difference. Sounds strange but I legit had some this time! Just goes to show you can't beat a good plan hu? One more summer mini adventure to share with you coming soon so look out for that. One my computer co operates.

Book Review :: 31 Prayers for the dreamer + the doer Book Review

This review is a little different. Reading 31 Prayers for the dreamer + the doer was quite the experience. The various authors use imagery, metaphor and personification all in the form of prayer to create a book that oozed with the tone of reference and intimacy.

After getting through the Women In The Word plan from #SheReadsTruth, feeling like I was submerged in the The Word everyday, on a long desert road running into biblical woman after woman who would stop and chat with me as we go over the events of their lives, their personal encounters with Christ and how it changed their life and mine I felt a unique fullness I doubt that I can explain.

This was different.

This was a devotional written in the added form of prayers. My religion warns against repetition of the same prayer over and over so I was a little sceptical but I soon realised that is not what it would be for me anyway and those fears subsided.

This was so much more intense that I anticipated it would be. There I was, reading prayer after prayer from woman after woman, feasting my eyes on their intimate conversation with their creator over the desires and pains of their heart.

Watching, marvelled as they spoke words I have thought in private.  Feeling an extraordinary kinship with these women I will never meet, who are spread far and wide across this earth who have  and are fighting the same if not a very similar fight as I am. Fights with self and with Him.

It was kind of amazing.

I knew that in the preface they said every chapter may not reach you as it did the woman who wrote it, it may not mean as much to you as it did not them and I am so glad they said that and so glad i read the preface cause that's something I usually hate doing haha.

For indeed, every single chapter did not mean as much to me as it seemed to to the woman that wrote it but you know what? I still treasure the experience, their experience that they were brave enough to share with me because I get it.



I get what it's like to be a creative, to think and feel like a creative and I get what it means to share that with someone. I also get that though theirs may be a battle I have already won or a battle I have yet to encounter it is a battle and there is much to be learned from war, like defence.

Some of the chapters that meant a lot to me were: prayer, the word, wellness, authenticity, dreams, comparison and goals just to name a few.

Definitely an regrettable buy and pretty to boot! Are you using any devotionals lately? Tell me about it in the comments I'd love to hear about it.

Peace. Love. Pray.
