Hello everyone and welcome to Good Grief! 2018.

After a beautiful holiday, starting with family – including two lively little grandsons – on the NSW south coast and then a cycle ride through New Zealand’s south island I’m back and excited about all the conversations and ideas that I’ll be sharing through Good Grief this year.

I’ll kick off with this beautiful piece, which reminds us about hope and how it helps us to get through, by L. R. Knost. It’s another ‘sharing’ from a friend of this page, Margie D.

Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world.

All things break. And all things can be mended.

Not with time, as they say, but with intention.

So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally.

The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you.
