Miwa in Aus: November 2014

http://miwahk.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Saturday, November 22, 2014. I am currently sitting in an art gallery in NYC, surrounded by familiar paintings. Not just one or two, and not copies either. Originals. Many. By artists and creators who lived some, or hundreds of years ago. Isn't it extraordinary? What causes us to create or want to create, using whatever format we choose. Whether music, art, design, write, or any medium we choose. What causes us to choose to create when there is so much already out there in the world? I can choose who I a...

Miwa in Aus: January 2014

http://miwahk.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Thursday, January 09, 2014. What makes a good year a good year? As the last year drew to an end, and a new one has started, I have been thinking back across all that has happened, and is to come. Altogether the conclusion was that last year was a really, really good year! It wasn’t an easy one, nor was it perfect, or go to ‘plan’ nor expectations met by any means though. Some things were impossibly hard, and other surprising, unexpected, hurtful, and so on. You get the drift. Paradox is an understatement!

Miwa in Aus: Hello again

http://miwahk.blogspot.com/2014/11/hello-again.html

Wednesday, November 12, 2014. My energy has been elsewhere. Managing the constants, the changes, the place I am in, and the direction I am going. Writing and communicating has taken place in other places. So will see if I get back here. I have missed it, and yes, have written blogs, etc. Just haven't posted. So perhaps I will come back and post them, or perhaps their time has passed. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Grief, loss and intimacy.

Miwa in Aus: Values and relationships

http://miwahk.blogspot.com/2014/11/values-and-relationships.html

Monday, November 17, 2014. I read the first chapter to Don Miller's new book, Scary Close- a silly thing because, well, I only have the first chapter and really would like to read the rest. Now. I realised recently with one friend, that I have believed what they have said, but am still looking to trust them, because their actions are different to their words. And where is the responsibility for me to trust others? What are my parameters and boundaries. And what is theirs? I can still be me though, and li...

Miwa in Aus: Should have.....

http://miwahk.blogspot.com/2014/12/should-have.html

Thursday, December 11, 2014. So destructive. So shamefilling. We can't go back and change our actions, what we see or understand, we can only learn and go forward. We don't always understand what's going on inside us, the situation, and definitely don't always understand what's going on in other people. So, lesson learned, and no more berating of myself or others of what we should have or should be doing. Grace is amazing in situations like these! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Miwa in Aus: Giving away the story

http://miwahk.blogspot.com/2015/02/giving-away-story.html

Wednesday, February 18, 2015. Giving away the story. I don't have the story that I would have chosen, the types of friendships that I might possibly prefer- certainly not the depth of friendship in the places I had expected. I don't have the happily ever after that I thought might happen, and over the last year have had to lay down the things most dear to me all over again, more completely and more finitely.

Miwa in Aus: November 2013

http://miwahk.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html

Thursday, November 28, 2013. Two Christmas cakes, 1 large salad, two slices, 2 dinners for 3, and a thanksgiving pie. All cooked in the space of about 5 days:). The last few months has be layered, textured, full of people, events, emotions, conversations, text messages and emails. Too many of the conversations have been via email, or text. From a distance. And I desperately miss a good old fashioned, face to face conversation. Technology is great, don't get me wrong! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Miwa in Aus: April 2014

http://miwahk.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Tuesday, April 22, 2014. Belonging, Part 2. Anyway, we belong to something bigger than ourselves, God’s family. We have a place to share, invite, to be that no one else can fill. 1 Corinthians 12: 14-18 (MSG). If Ear said, “I’m not beautiful like Eye, limpid and expressive; I don’t deserve a place on the head,” would you want to remove it from the body? If the body was all eye, how could it hear? If all ear, how could it smell? John 14: 1-4 (NIV). Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can ...

The Littlest Anchovy: Mudgee: Part 1

http://www.thelittlestanchovy.com/2013/10/mudgee-part-1.html

Wednesday, 2 October 2013. A couple of weeks ago I took a little trip to Mudgee to hang out with my Aunt, Uncle and cousins for the weekend . Some of my best childhood memories come from spending the summer holidays with them. I love that we have remained close all these years and still have a blast even now that we are older. One of my cousins (and one of my best friends) Ed, is an amazing cook and gardener. She has the whole locavore vibe going on and owns it! My cousins Ed and Ol - don't you just love...

Miwa in Aus: I want more.

http://miwahk.blogspot.com/2014/06/i-want-more.html

Sunday, June 22, 2014. Or shall I believe and therefore live a lie? Valuing others can be hard at times, and involve hard, honest conversations, but if done well, we all come out knowing we are valued enough to be fought for, we are worth the discomfort of a hard conversation, and we have a deeper and richer relationship as a result. Here's an excerpt from the blog:. If we don’t know what we want, or where we are going, the story is boring. And worse, the protagonist makes terrible decisions.
