Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.
Live the life you have imagined.
Henry David Thoreau
Being housebound for a year I was forced to sit back and think about my priorities and aims in life.
The internet became a window out into the world and I was able to travel to wonderful countries, visit great museums, see beautiful works of art, read many books and learn more than I had imagined – and all from the comfort of my home.
I’d like to share a little of what I have learned, of the wonderful things I have seen and heard.
I have been inspired and enthused.
Unchained Hope – every Sunday I post Bible Verses on my meditation and worship site.
Unchained Dreams and ♥CoffeeCup are a collection of quotes and stories to inspire us and challenge us to grow and become truly ourselves.
♥Colours – Art I love.
♥TeaTime – Prayers, Quotes and Blessings to draw us closer to God.
In Unchained Sorrow I would like to address those issues which fill my heart with pain – to give a voice to those who suffer, especially to children.

Jonie,
Thank you for stopping by my blog last night and leaving a comment…I LOVE the picture and quote above. I’ve never seen that picture before- there’s something about it that really draws me in. I’ll be back!

Jonie,
I am a bit rushed this morning. I just wanted to thank you for your comment, it and you came by at just the right time! Love, love, love the art. I will be back to read more. God Bless!

Dear Jonie; I have posted a couple of your postings unto my blog. I like to come back and visit your site, it makes me happy. Thank you. Thomas.
I was disappointed that I couldn’t leave a message at your StumbleUpon site, but I am so glad I found my way here. I love this site, thank you for sharing the great things I have seen there and here. The first thing that struck me (on StumbleUpon) were the Hillsong videos I had not seen. I seem to have missed when they were touring the Northeast US. I like also the format of posting about various holidays as they come up. I’ll definitely be back.

Hi Jonie, I often find solace, inspiration and motivation from the words of inspired minds. After reading some of your posts, I have come to the conclusion that I need to slow down a bit and spend more time reading and learning.
So many of your wonderful selection of quotes and stories have hit the right button with me.
