In this episode of Into The Garden & November Notes Day 15, I share this piece ‘When You Think You Lost’, written during a Women’s Day celebration & was reminded of a time when I grew up. Through vivid storytelling and personal reflection, I raise awareness about gender-based violence, childhood vulnerability, and the importance of faith as a guiding light.
This episode is both a call to action and a reminder that even in moments of fear and loss, God’s presence brings comfort, direction, and hope.
Thank you for joining me in this heartfelt journey. May these words remind you that being different is a gift, that your story matters, and that God is your GPS when life feels uncertain. As you go, carry this truth: miracles are possible, transformation is real, and your voice can be the safe haven someone else needs.
Until next time, keep walking and fulfilling your purpose with courage and faith.

This episode is shared on November Notes Challenge:Sip on beautiful thoughts is going through life's challenges and expectancies.
☕ Sip on Beautiful Thoughts
"Sip slowly… sip with ease.
Sip joyously and let the aroma speak and
let beauty fill your mind, let wisdom pour into your soul and frame of mind."
Tea can do wonders for your soul. It soothes away the weight of problems and simply floats you away. With each savoured sip it calms the storms of your mind. It entangles it soothes the wounded soul and finds its way to gain control. Tea is natures healing remedy healing and soothing from within. Whether infused or on its own, tea is a yes for me a jovial uppity lifter, problem lifter, stress reliever and can go a long way.
For now, unto him who is able - able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen (Jude 1:24-25) So, today join me for a cuppa as we sip on beautiful thoughts today.
A woman is like a tea bag -
You can't tell how strong she is
Until you put her in hot 🔥 water...

Maya Angelou: “Nothing can dim the light that shines from within.”
Audre Lorde: “When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.”
Toni Morrison: “Freeing yourself was one thing, claiming ownership of that freed self was another.”
Virginia Woolf: “No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.”
Louisa May Alcott: “I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.”
So, sip on these!
Soothe your soul one sip at a time.
Have a super sippy high on Chai Wednesday

Today ladies, join us for a reflection on sisterhood, both in the Bible and in our everyday lives. Through the stories of Martha and Mary, and Leah and Rachel, we see the complexity, beauty, and divine purpose of sisterly bonds.
Tune in and hear Doreen Rosslee share her own story and love for her sister who passed away early in October. Thank you Doreen for sharing your pearls of wisdom.Martha and Mary show us the balance between doing and being between service and stillness, action and devotion.
Leah and Rachel reveal the layers of longing, rivalry, and grace, reminding us that even in tension, God is working out legacy and love.
But sisterhood isn’t just ancient, it’s alive in us today.It’s the whispered prayers, the shared laughter, the unspoken understanding.It’s the women who show up, hold space, and speak truth.It’s the family we’re born into and the one we choose.
Sisterhood is special. Sisterhood is strength. Sisterhood is legacy.

Today’s soul story is called The Impossible Dream. It's a little snippet of my story and my experience when I ran my clothing and bag line, Bahian Gypsy Bags and Accessories.
It’s a prophetic call to rise, to walk by faith, and to embrace the welcoming timing of your becoming. Remember: You are loved. You are chosen. You are enough.
The bible says there is a time for everything in Ecclesiastes 3:1. For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: I want you to remember the sun always sets in the west and no matter what you have been trying God's in it. Gods got it and if it's in alignment with the Father's will, then He will flourish it. So, stop running east when you can run to Him to help you finish it.
The Impossible Dream is a Soul Story based on Faith, Sisterhood, and Divine Possibility A soul-stirring reflection on rising by faith, embracing divine timing, and saluting the women within.
In a nutshell it's saying be resilient, keep going, press in, don't give up, change something if it's doesn't work and try another but submit your plans to God and do not quit.

Have you ever endured the hardest seasons in your life when life itself zaps the living daylights out of you? Your minds so clouded so full that listening becomes numb.
Then make time to tune into our latest episode with Prophetess Paula Farlin sharing - Take Time to Love Again.
There were days I wasn’t motivated to keep going or get out of bed, and the tears wouldn’t stop because of dread... Hubby had a stroke and there were days when I questioned God about heartbreak and suffering, the seeming unfairness of life, and unanswered prayers. Yet, through it all, love never left me. I was so angry at God for allowing this to happen, but His love never got cold. God wasn't the one getting angry and then it dawned on me, He allowed this to happen so I could draw closer to Him. And through this time of uncertainty, I fell in love with him all over again as He allowed others to shower me with love by making time for myself to be alone and appreciate me again.
So, take and make the time to love yourself again. It doesn't have to be a fancy do, just simply a walk somewhere to ease your mind, go on a girl's trip, go to the beach, on a coffee date but know that through all of your challenges you need an escape.
Remember you cannot pour from an empty cup.
We hope you enjoyed this episode.
God bless you and Rise Up!

Thank you for your valued support.
In this deeply moving conversation, Prophetess Paula Farlin unpacks the powerful truth found in Exodus 2:23–25, that you are never alone.
My take-away- no matter your circumstances, your challenges, God hears, God remembers and God acknowledges. Always remember in those moments of despair or doubt, God's word still stands. Like Hagar, you too can say "You are my God- The God who sees me." ProphetessPaula reminds us that even in seasons of silence, God is very much attentive, present, and preparing things to work out for your good.
Scriptures for further reference:
Job 34:21 says, “For God’s eyes are on the ways of a man, and He sees his every step.”Genesis 16:13 - She gave this name to the LORD who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.”
Proverbs 15:3 says, “The eyes of the LORD are in every place, observing the evil and the good.”
I am reminded even myself that God knows every chapter of my story and will redeem my story for His glory. We hope you enjoy this episode.
God bless you and Go Rise Up!

Do you believe in the Power of Thanking God in advance? I'm sure you do. But how can we thank God when bills are piling up, our minds are all over the place? That right there, is the right space and place to start, when your head space is clouded and you have nowhere but to turn to God.
Even that could be orchestrated by Him, so you can depend more on Him. So, let’s begin thanking God with good intentions, belief, expectation and faith before He settles whatever your request is.
Elder Angela Morris joins us with a stirring message drawn from Jonah’s darkest moment, not as a tale of despair, but as a blueprint for putting your faith into action. In the depths of uncertainty, Jonah models three ways to thank God ahead of time and so can you.

In this soul stirring episode, Lessons We Learn Along the Way, I reflect on the quiet power of growth, strength, grief, and grace.

With 11 months behind us and a lifetime ahead, I ask the questions we often avoid: What have you truly learned? What has changed you?Whether you have come face to face with hard truths, slow progress, or unexpected blessings, this episode will speak to your soul. We hope that you enjoy this episode.

If you are going through a storm and thinking that you are sinking, hold on help is coming. God is not distant nor faraway, He is the 'I AM.' Our ever-present Help when we are in the storm.
Elder Angela Morris takes the mic with a message that pierces through fear and awakens faith. Drawing from the wisdom of Rick Warren, she invites us to confront the shadows that hold us back, not by creeping into your shell or allowing fear to take hold, but by standing up to God in surrender, trust, prayer, fast and boldness.
Whatever you do: Don’t doubt.
So many a time, we take risks on things that sometimes don't work out and forget to take a risk in faith because you don’t need great faith to make it through the storm. You just need faith in the right person, faith in God not man.
Tune in for a moment of peace, grace, mercy and testimony.

In this episode, I invite you into the garden for a pause, a reflection a moment between sunrise and duty, where the soul whispers what the world forgets to say: You will be alright.
Through poetic reflection and spiritual insight, I explore the weight of daily life, the quiet ache of uncertainty, and the radical power of choosing presence.
This is a note for the overwhelmed, the overextended, and the quietly courageous. A reminder to breathe, to believe, and to begin again.
My friend, no matter what you are facing, God cares for you and will carry you. 'It may not be OK, but, because of the Lord's great love, you will be Alright'.

In this stirring soul story, we journey into the intertwined lives of two unnamed women. One mature, one young whose suffering and healing are divinely timed and spiritually symbolic. Drawn from Matthew 9:20–22, Mark 5:25–34, and Luke 8:43–48, Woman What’s Your Issue? invites us to reflect on the bleeding woman and Jairus’s twelve-year-old daughter, whose stories form a sacred “healing sandwich” of faith, desperation, and divine intervention.
The bleeding woman often identified as Veronica pressed through the crowd after twelve long years of isolation, shame, and physical torment. Her touch of Jesus’ garment wasn’t just a reach for healing, it was a declaration of belief, a challenge to stigma, and a cry for restoration.
Jairus’s daughter, also twelve, lay dying while Veronica bled. One was young and fading, the other older and fighting. Yet both were touched by Jesus, one through a garment, the other through a word: “Talitha cumi” little girl, arise.
Whether your issue is physical, emotional, relational, or spiritual, this is your invitation to press in, to rise up, and to believe again.
So, Woman what’s your issue? And are you ready to be touched, healed, and revived?
We hope that you enjoy this episode.

You might be going through deep waters of cancer or know of someone who is, this episode goes out to all.
With breast cancer as our key focus, Elder Audrey's devotion is for survivors, patients, and their families through the valleys of fear and uncertainty, reminding them that worship is not just a response to healing but a lifeline in the storm. She focuses on the book of Psalms when David sang reverence to God through worship during his difficulty. She takes us through the following Psalms 121-126.
It’s a reminder that even in the toughest seasons of our lives, thanksgiving, prayer and worship can rise like incense, bringing peace, strength, and divine closeness.“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NIV)We hope that you enjoy this episode.

Though she be but little, she is fierce.
In today’s episode, I open the door to a deeply personal and transformative journey, one that rewires pain into poetry, brokenness into beauty, and silence into soulful expression. “Poetry Rewired” isn’t just a title it’s an unleashing a testimony whereby a blank canvas becomes a soul space where tears, questions, and hidden talents are poured out, reshaped, and reborn.You will be drawn into a story of unexpected creativity. From soul writing to spiritual healing to arts and crafts.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt disconnected from their purpose, unsure of their gifts, or afraid to share what’s buried deep within. Through raw reflection and poetic rhythm, I am here to remind you that God doesn’t just give talent He waits for the moment we’re ready to unwrap it.
We hope that you enjoy this episode.

In this episode I highlight -What happens when the uploads won’t load, the laptop won’t speak, and your soul-led work comes to a halt? In this deeply personal episode, I share a poetic reflection on technical stillness, spiritual surrender, and the quiet lessons hidden in delay.
“When the Work Stands Still .” It honors the vulnerability, revelation, and spiritual depth of waiting, watching in anticipation for the movement of what's next, while inviting you the audience into a moment of reflection, rest and renewal.
Through scripture, soul-searching, and gentle storytelling, I invite listeners to rest not in defeat, but in discernment, in willingness. To remember that God is our source, not the system.
And that even in the glitch, there is grace.
We hope that you enjoy this episode.

Mary's Choice Upset Martha and why wouldn't it, when she got to sit down and Martha didn't. Yet Mary chose to sit still and many a times we get way too busy that we miss being in the presence.
Tune in for more:Presence with Jesus is not about position, it’s about posture. Prophetess Paula poses the question Who Are You behind the facade, behind labels or titles? Especially in the whirlwind of life today, we have meetings, deadlines, family responsibilities and the constant ping of notifications, so yes, it's easy to see why we get so distracted. The world loves the word 'hustle' but believe in God's power instead of over your own. No matter what - we strive, we serve and yet deep inside, we still feel a quiet emptiness, now why is that? In life today we carry both A Mary and Martha moment so another question to ponder on is- Which one is leading your day?
So today, maybe we pause. Maybe we sit. Maybe we listen. Maybe we take notes. Because it's in the stillness that we receive and not get lost.
We hope that you enjoy this episode.

In this soul-baring reflection, this is for women standing at the threshold of uncertainty, pushing against doors that refuse to budge.
So, gather your thoughts and instead of spiraling into frustration, you begin to see the closed door not as rejection, but as divine protection. And once calm you realize that what's being kept from you, could have disappointed you in the long run. Don't see delay as denial, see it as a quiet pause, a redirection toward something better that will benefit you for the new cause. This is not a story of failure. It’s a story of personal and spiritual resilience. Of trusting the unseen. Of knowing that when the right door swings wide, it will lead you to a place where you truly belong and where your soul can finally sing the song that carried you through.
Tune in for more. We hope that you enjoy this episode.

In this deeply reflective episode, I share the awakening that comes when we stop rushing and begin listening to our soul, our creativity, and the quiet whispers of transformation.
Inspired by the quote, “Once she stopped rushing through life, she became aware of how much time she had to enjoy and do the things that sparked her creativity." This episode explores the metaphor of the brook: a gentle yet powerful flow of emotion, art, writing and divine calling.
Through poetic storytelling and spiritual insight, I invite you to rediscover the well within you, where creativity, healing, and purpose reside. Whether you’re consoling through grief, rediscovering joy, or simply longing to begin again or long to do something new, this episode is a tender reminder that your voice matters, your creative spirit matters, your art heals, your writings echo like musical notes and finds a landing pad in hearts of those tuning in or reading and your journey is special to you and those around you.
"Let the brook speak. Let the well overflow. Let the exploring begin. Just… start and see a new lease of life enriching your path again."
We hope that you enjoy this episode.

Today the platform belongs to Leah. Call her complex, overlooked but the stage was set right from the very start that Leah, unseen, unnoticed was kept for a divine timing that was crucial in the eyes of God.
Tune into this episode to hear Prophetess Paula's teaching on Leah not being Jacob's choice but God's choice. Leah's life story could be yours with silent tears, emotional turmoil but whatever your life depicts instead on focusing on man's approval focus on God's approval by praising and thanking Him more.
So, despite Leah's struggles, her story demonstrates and proves to us that God's plan is greater than our circumstances.
May Leah's life inspire you to trust in God more knowing that He sees you, hears you, loves you, and never leaves you and has a great plan for you.
