‘Soft?’ I repeat in a faltering voice, my heart skips a beat and I instinctively hide behind my hoodie so you can’t see me for a moment. It’s a drizzly Tuesday, the kind of day when you’d rather meet in a warm café. That’s not possible right now, so during a walk through the dunes […]

The other day, I heard someone say: “The right person in the right place”… We are all familiar with this statement and we know what it means. But still it made me think, because you can look at it from two sides: – The right person; – The right place; In our Being on Mission […]
