A Poem By Deborah Ann Blignaut

Who am I 

Where am I going?

 Wars all around us

People displaced

Famine Food insecurity

Struggles with identity

 

I center  myself

Find my footing again

On ground unshakeable

Geared to the Times

Anchored to the Rock

Eyes focused heavenward

I look to the mountains

I find my peace

I look at the vast expanse of the ocean

My soul finds rest.

I look to the One who even the winds & waves obey

Matthew 14:28

Lord, if it's you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water.

Back to Blogging - It is time

 Last night I went to a women's evening. My friend Nicky dragged me along. I found myself sitting in a room with about 10 other women, listening to an evening on poetry! 

My friend Mandy was sharing how to be creative and expressive whilst writing poetry. I sat thinking what on earth am I doing here on a Friday night. The evening was very well presented and I found myself inspired as I left. So inspired that I decided it is time to reinvent my blog!

So for those of you who have followed me from the beginning I am back! For those of you who would like to follow me, I hope you enjoy my posts and thoughts.

I am just an ordinary woman who has met her Creator, and now am living an extra ordinary life. Everyday I feel grateful, I hope that what is left of "My Dash" will inspire others to live their best lives. To make lemonade when life hands you lemons!

This is a bit of my life in pictures thus far this year. I cannot believe we are already almost half way through July

In September Andre & I will celebrate 33 years together. I am grateful that we have made it still in love and still making each other laugh. What a gift of grace.
