Treasures in the darkness, (Paperback)

Over the past number of years, circumstances have been challenging but I have found the all-time best way to deal with that has been through writing. And so 'snatches' was born. It practises the discipline of taking a difficult situation and finding strength and light within it. My hope is that my putting thoughts on paper/screen will point the way to live with trouble but also see a way out of it. I have found the whole process beneficial to me, and hopefully to anyone who reads it. <p></p><p></p>I have grouped my posts under the key themes that I/we all have been living with: <p></p><strong>Health</strong><p></p>I was diagnosed with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis in 2005. At the beginning this label would be easily ignored or hidden. Sadly as time went on that became harder to do.<p></p><strong>Parenting</strong><p></p>My two (17 and 15) present different blessings and challenges but always inspiration. <p></p><strong>Nature</strong><p></p>I only have to look out a window here to see something, a gift, from Nature to talk about. <p></p><strong>Encouragement</strong><p></p>Every week I am surprisingly given a positive thought to share. I am sure those thoughts are heaven-sent because many times I have no idea what I am going to write about, right up to the day before! <p></p><strong>Pandemic</strong><p></p>When lockdown took us all by surprise in 2020, it became necessary to find courage and resilience to cope. So, I kept writing and lit a candle to show commitment to everyone most hit by the pandemic.<p></p><strong>Faith</strong><p></p>Through everything, every struggle, every challenge, faith in a God who is always there and carries us through it all is the lynchpin of my writing. At the beginning I was tentative but as time went on I learnt that my faith was the main thing that carried me through it all and realised that it was foolish to pretend otherwise.<p></p><p></p>
