Hearing and sharing stories are a big part of living and growing. I hope my stories will help you discover and hear more of your own stories. Feel free to share and be part of the quest to discover and hear the Whispers in the moments we have.
I was in a hurry. As it was, I knew I was going to be late. The six lanes of traffic had gaps. I stood, knowing my decision was one of two. On one hand, I could try to cross the road. Alternatively, I could wait, trusting the process. In my hesitation, I listened to life’s whispers using the situation to take me to a different...
Read moreOne building stood out as I walked through the deepening shadows with nightfall approaching. With the Emirati colours reflecting on its pinnacle, I could hear a lingering question about my journey. I see obstacles and barriers. I know that life can be confusing and misleading. The immediate calls to attention are the dark blocks in front, as my eyes are drawn to what is further....
Sunsets trigger a reflection within me. No matter where I am or what I am doing, I pause. At that moment, I face a course correction decision. My head tells me that I must continue forward. My heart questions everything. Do I stop? Is the best answer to retreat? I am caught in the ageless observation that “If they were homesick for the old country, they could have...
Certain dishes take me home. It is a place where I have never lived. It is a destination of which I have caught fleeting glimpses, yet it remains hidden like the lingering mists on the nearby Smoky Mountains. For a long time, I stayed away.

I am slowly coming to appreciate the perspective that one has as one considers making the most of the time one has. When I meet individuals looking to break their metaphorical chains, living life to the maximum and wanting to make...
Read moreAs I walked under the lights marking the 53rd anniversary as a nation, I was struck by how far the country has grown. From a dusty town with two paved roads and a dream to a growing, thriving financial centre moving faster and farther than anyone imagined. From the endless lights on every pole lining major roads to crowds gathering to mark the occasion,...
Read moreThe corner exhibit of the conference was inviting. There were reminders of home, stepping away, and drifting into a mindset of recovery and restoration. The idea of stepping away from the technology, flood of information, and constant busyness was tempting. As I stood next to a meditation station, I found myself in the presence of pointers and reminders, where nothing was real. There were no...
My eyes looked beyond the steps ahead to where the stairs would lead. I knew there was much more beyond what I could see. Buildings, streets, and busyness were all waiting for me beyond the silence. In the quietness, it was fun to listen to life’s whispers, reminding me of where I place my best attention. One can reflect on one’s attention and focus by...
I am a guest. With calls to prayer as poignant reminders, I know I am in a country where I am accepted, recognised, and respected as someone who is, for a time, within the tent. With expanding freedoms announced and put into the community, I am reminded of the cabinet found in the Christian church at the Abrahamic Family House. In the empty and...
