Fifty Golden Moments

I decided to spend my fiftieth year noticing the gold I found all around me. Sometimes, when I was feeling low, I would set off purposefully in search of gold with my camera on my shoulder.   Other times, I would spot something as I was passing and quickly snatch a shot. It was a way of life that brought me a great deal of happiness. If you want to slow the slideshow down, hover over an image and you will be offered an option to pause.

  3. What a truly wonderful thing to do! Thank you. I turn fifty this year and it has set my mind whirring about how best I might celebrate it 🙂
    And I LOVE your books. They are brave and bold and thought-provoking and very, very useful. I recognise so much that you share. I also think you provide a glimpse of the God of Love; the God who loves and accepts us just as we are, and calls us into true fullness of life.
