On a dare from a colleague, I started writing Between The Notes in late 2016. It’s been 7  years now and I’ve accumulated over  350 weekly blogs!
BTN started as a blog about the arts, and faith, but morphed into life and faith and all the twists and turns that journey entails. There’s still much about the arts, but also about grappling with the wonder, heartache and the vagaries of life.
I’m written often about how much these musings mean to people, as well they mean a lot to me – I see them as reminding me of values I need to be reminded of. Remembering to remember so to speak.
So your generous donations help me carve off the time and space to create this work that have meant much to me and hopefully, to the subscriber base and social media base I write.
Thank you again for all your support in these creative aspirations!
