My name is Trudy James. Wife to Tim. Mama to Eliana. Follower of Jesus.

I have a love for coffee and a love for people. The older I get, the more I realise I have yet to learn. I love hearing people’s stories and sharing my own in the hope that it can be an encouragement. Our little family has had incredible experiences, like volunteering in Cambodia for 5 years, that have shown me the richness of life and earth shattering lows like my breast cancer diagnosis at the age of 40. But I try to choose daily to see the beauty in the every day and make space for joy and laughter in the midst of life’s challenges.

I pray that you find this to be a place of encouragement as I share my own authentic story…. Sometimes as a special needs mama, sometimes as a woman living with cancer, but always as me, Trudy.
