His Eye is on the Sparrow – A Reminder
Author: cottagedreams creative
I'd describe myself as an eclectic creative. I dabble in all sorts of creative ventures and have started learning more about living and eco focussed life. I dream of a little cottage in the country where I can create, have chickens, and live a more sustainable lifestyle. I love new adventures and travel whenever possible, mostly with my man. I love music and have written songs for years. I sing them now and then to myself and others. I love writing, journals always and the memoir I'm working on. Most importantly I want to love my family well and live a faith focussed life, sharing stories of hope with whoever may need encouragement. That's me I guess.
IT’S NOT TOO LATE
For a long time, I battled a nagging negativity that I may have left my run too late. A common voice would come to me saying, ‘you should have followed your dreams sooner!’ The if only and the what-ifs, they came calling too. I don’t think I’m alone. I speak to many who say ‘…

time : a most precious commodity
So I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. Time. How precious it is. We all want more of it and quite frankly the older I get the more I wonder if I’ve used my time well enough. I’d sincerely encourage any young ones out there to give some thought to how you manage your…
the influencer:
Blog Did you hear, Time has released its 2021 list of the most influential people in the world. Not that I’m a follower of any of the top 100 but news is, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are on the list. A few days ago after enduring copious programs running the story, my sweet hubby looked at me…
Did I tell you about my little van-life dream?
For some time now I’ve been working towards quitting my day job so I can fulfil my creative passion to write.make.create I know this may seem indulgent, but I do think that we humans are created for a specific purpose and while that may, at times, ebb and flow into different streams, generally those streams…
Hello Fellow Creator
It’s been some time since I posted. Apologies! Sometimes I just get caught up creating and run out of ‘write-time’ because I simply used up all my spare time creating other stuff like in the pics below. I do love it so! It’s then, that I get a little cross with myself. Why can I…
