“6 Questions with…” is an opportunity for women and girls everywhere to share something about their passions and lives. (It’s also a fantastic excuse for me to be really nosey and learn more about the incredible women I admire.) This week I’m putting Helen...
Holiday Busyness needs a Year-Round Solution
I wanted to originally write a blog post wishing everyone happy Advent. To be super cheery about the start of my favourite liturgical season and how I believe in an intentional Advent. That’s how my day started out when I first started writing this post anyway. I even...

Happy Ever After? You May Have Already Found It
I’ve been single for over seven years. I honestly thought that was never going to change. It now turns out that as I write this post there is a very strong chance that it might change. It is incredibly tempting to believe, as one friend does, that I might have found...
Thank you Hutchmoot Homebound
It is the feeling of knowing you are no longer alone. It is the surprise at someone else putting shape and structure to your thoughts. It is discovering that others have gone and lit the way ahead – you just need to find that first lantern, lamppost or shining crystal.

This week I’m putting Sophie Howell in the hot seat. This woman is one of the funniest, craziest and most genuine people I know. She’s also pretty handy with a sewing machine too, which she’ll tell you more about later. To be honest, she’s much better at introducing herself so I’ll leave you in Sophie’s capable hands…
Exploring Through the MCU || Understanding The Crucifixion via a Rainbow Bridge in Thor
Never in a million years did I think I’d be comparing Jane Foster to Jesus. Yet after a horrendous first attempt, I’m rewriting this post on Thor to compare Natalie Portman’s character to the greatest sacrifice ever.
Well, that’s not true. Really this is about what Thor sacrificing his relationship with Jane to save the world symbolises. If you’ve seen the film, you know the scene. To prevent Loki’s destruction of Joundenheim happening, Thor destroys the rainbow bridge. In doing so, he also removes any chance of seeing Jane again. To save a world of apparent monsters, he sacrifices the woman he loves.
