SEVEN POINTS OF LIGHT ‘Contrast is what makes photography interesting,’ states Conrad Hall and what better way for the beginning photographer to create contrast than the use of light and shadow. Morning light produces tender beautiful light and is sought by photographers. To catch early-morning light calls for an early rise, when the alarm is set, warm clothes worn. Our camera bag is packed the day before. The colour is soft, delicate and mysterious. The hard angles in the la

Kylie talks about her recent keloid scar and radiation surgery...

Poetry by Gwen Leane

There is something sinister that I have been noticing online recently whenever I open my Instagram, which I will admit, is rare these days for the very reason that I find it a place of depressing toxicity. Creatives seem so angry, bitter and upset because of the rise of AI - and don't get me wrong, I completely, 100% understand the lamenting and ALL the concerns. This is not me dismissing those AT ALL....

Poetry by Gwen Leane - From Another World

A little video about my love of gaming even though don't consider myself overly good at it.

Just a little story about when I went to a writer's course as a teenager and how it shaped my rebellious ideas of heroines. XD

What can make a male hero truly compelling? When my sister asked me a question about Hawks, I found myself pondering the responsibility in masculinity within fiction.

It has been a really long time since I ventured into the world of The Dynasty of Earth and Stars. A few weeks ago, I woke up from a dream... As I lay in bed, in the darkness of my bedroom, I pondered the odd feeling I was having and then I realised what it was - Homesickness. I was feeling homesick. Homesick for an entirely imaginary world of my own creation.

I feel like a completely different person than who I was this time last year. For such a long time I tried to force myself to find a community, to fit in, to go to a church, to find friends, to meet 'The One' - or even 'The Group' - and I was met with a wall. Pain. Just pain. No matter what I did, or how I did it, I could not move pass that wall. So I gave up. I told God that I was throwing all that at his feet and it was his problem to deal with. I couldn't take it anymo

Come on an Adventure with Tea as she explores Faerûn in the wonderous game that is Baldur's Gate 3. Basically let's just relax when pain get's to much. ^_^

What does it mean to discover God-given creativity? Or to uncover purpose later-in-life - Nana Gwen tells us about her personal journey...

Tea & Whiskers first little pocketbooks 'Tiny Acts of Discipline' are available now in our brand new online Bookshop. As you may recall, a couple of months ago I mentioned that I was debating about going back to the Pain Clinic. Well, I did end up going back for that first workshop and...it...didn't go great.

For Christmas I was gifted a PS5 thank to several members of my family and my Personal Trainer, Ben. (Hi Ben! Thank you!!) Encase it isn't obvious to anyone, I love gaming. I've never considered myself particularly good at it, but it brings me a great deal of joy and satisfaction. I consider games to be another way of telling and receiving stories in our ever evolving human experience.

A reflection by Nana Gwen on the phrase ‘no longer’ and how faith in Christ transforms our lives from darkness, slavery, and striving into freedom and light.

I am working on something - really - I am...
