  • My Life in an Alternate Universe. The Quiet Power of “What If”

    “In another universe, I harvest instead of hustle, but even there, I STILL need God.”

    -E. H Abraham

    In an alternate universe, I wake up every morning to the sound of waves crashing against the cliffs outside my seaside cottage in Cape Town. The sun peeks through sheer white curtains as I stretch, barefoot, into a day that holds no chaos, no deadlines, only purpose and peace.

    In this universe, I’m not juggling a dozen roles. I’m not questioning if I’m doing enough or if I’m too much. Here, I am whole. I run a small wellness and writing retreat for women where every guest is reminded that healing is not a luxury, but a necessity.

    Instead of racing to meet the expectations of the world, I spend my mornings teaching journaling workshops under the olive trees and my afternoons sipping tea with women who have forgotten how to dream. Together, we write ourselves back to life.

    There is no pressure to perform, only permission to be.

    In this universe, I never doubted my voice. I never silenced my story. I published my first book at 19, not 39. I spoke on stages, not from a place of ambition, but from a place of sacred assignment.

    My children run barefoot in the garden, fluent in three languages, and utterly free. My partner is a man of prayer and poetry, a quiet storm who believes in miracles as much as I do.

    We are not rich, not by the world’s standards, but we live abundantly. There is music, there is laughter, there is deep rest. There is rhythm.

    I don’t hustle. I harvest.

    But even in this perfect parallel, I carry one thing from the world I came from, my faith. In every universe, I would still need God. I would still crave His whispers in the stillness. I would still fall apart and find Him in the pieces.

    Because maybe the beauty of this alternate world isn’t that it’s perfect, but that it reminds me what’s possible. What’s already inside me. What I can slowly build in this life, one sacred yes at a time.

    And you?

    What would your alternate universe look like?
    Would you change the world, or just finally change yours?

    Let yourself imagine. And then, perhaps, let yourself begin.

  • What change, big or small, would I want my blog to make in the world?

    “You may carry many layers, but none of them are wasted. Every part of you is being woven into purpose. You are not too much. You are becoming everything God created you to be.”

    -E. H Abraham

    When I first sat down to create Harmonie Blogs, I didn’t just want to share thoughts. I wanted to create impact. Not the loud, world-shaking kind that makes headlines – although if that happens, praise God! But the quiet, consistent kind. The kind that changes one life, one woman, one heart at a time.

    This blog was birthed with a desire to be a voice of hope and light, especially for women navigating seasons of loneliness, confusion, burnout, or simply seeking deeper purpose. My hope is that every time a woman stumbles upon one of my posts, whether it’s about prayer, purpose, motherhood, dreams, or healing, she walks away feeling seen, stirred, and strengthened.

    Here’s the change I want to see through this blog:

    🌱 1. I want women to believe again.

    To believe in God’s plan.
    To believe that their story still matters.
    To believe that it’s not too late to start again.

    🔥 2. I want to fan the flame of forgotten dreams.

    So many women are silently carrying buried passions, suffocated by responsibilities and expectations. I want to stir the fire again. To whisper: “You were made for more, and it’s not too late.”

    🕊️ 3. I want to create a safe, faith-filled space.

    A space where tears are welcomed, laughter is healing, and God’s truth is gently spoken. A place where we can talk about real struggles, marriage, motherhood, identity, mental battles, without judgment or fear.

    💡 4. I want to shift mindsets from survival to significance.

    It’s not just about waking up and making it through the day. You were created with intention. You’re not here just to exist. You’re here to impact.

    So whether this blog reaches ten people or ten thousand, I pray it brings change – not through perfect words, but through truth, love, and divine timing.

    Because one inspired woman can shift her entire household.
    One praying mother can change generations.
    One bold step can start a movement.

    And it can all begin here, with one blog post at a time.


    If you’ve felt encouraged today, I’d love for you to share this post or leave a comment below. Let’s start the change together.

    With purpose and love,
    Harmonie Abraham 🤍

  • Your Past Has Expired — You’ve Outgrown That Room

    There are moments in life when God lets us revisit the past, not to stay there, but to realize just how far we’ve come.

    Sometimes it happens in a conversation, a memory, or even a dream. Suddenly you’re back in an old environment. Maybe a room you used to sit in. A crowd you used to blend into. A system you once believed in. But this time, something feels… different.

    • You don’t quite fit anymore.
    • You don’t recognize the people.
    • You feel out of place — like a visitor in your own history.

    And that’s when God whispers:
    “This is not your room anymore. You’ve outgrown this place.”

    Old Rooms, New Revelations

    It’s wild how we can cling to old titles, old beliefs, old labels, simply because they feel familiar. But God is not in the business of keeping you in comfort zones. He’s in the business of transformation.

    You may have once needed that place. It may have even helped shape your foundation. But growth requires movement. And God loves you too much to let you shrink yourself just to keep others comfortable.

    “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!”
    – Isaiah 43:18–19 (NKJV)

    Letting Go Doesn’t Mean Disrespect

    Walking away from an old room doesn’t mean dishonor. It means obedience.

    You can love people and still leave places that no longer align with who God is calling you to be. You can honor your roots and still pursue your rise. Some rooms served a purpose for a season, but the season has changed — and so have you.

    A Prayer for When You Feel the Tug

    Lord, give me the courage to walk away from the past without guilt.
    Show me where You are now.
    Help me not to grieve expired places, but to step boldly into the “new thing” You are doing in my life.
    Remind me that growth is not betrayal, it’s obedience.
    In Jesus’ name, Amen.

    Final Thought

    If you’ve been feeling stuck between who you were and who you’re becoming, this is your confirmation: It’s okay to move forward. You don’t belong in that old room anymore. Not because you’re better, but because you’re becoming.

    And trust me, what God has prepared for you ahead is far greater than what you’re leaving behind.

  • Overcoming Fear and Anxiety Through Scripture

    Have You Ever Felt So Anxious That It Was Hard to Even Breathe Properly?

    I have. Many times, in fact.

    There have been nights when I’ve laid awake staring at the ceiling, heart pounding, thoughts racing like a train I couldn’t stop. Fear gripped me—fear of the unknown, fear of not being enough, fear of what tomorrow might hold.

    I’ve had moments where anxiety whispered lies into my ears, convincing me that things would never get better. That I wasn’t strong enough. That I was alone.

    But let me tell you something that has changed everything for me: the Word of God.

    —

    My Personal Journey with Fear

    There was a particular season when everything around me felt uncertain. I had just become a mother again, and I was battling exhaustion, health worries, marital problems and the overwhelming pressure of managing my home, dreams, and responsibilities.

    One evening, I remember walking into the bathroom, locking the door behind me, sitting on the edge of the tub, and just weeping. Not soft tears—but deep, guttural sobs.

    I cried out, “God, I’m scared. What if I fail? What if I let everyone down?”

    And in that moment, the Holy Spirit gently reminded me of a scripture I had read countless times:

    > “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7

    This verse transformed my subconscious and saved my life.

    God was saying, “This fear? It’s not from Me. I have given you power. I have given you peace.”

    —

    Scriptures That Have Anchored Me

    I want to share a few verses that helped me break free from fear’s grip and step into God’s peace.

    1. Isaiah 41:10

    > “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you…”

    This verse reminded me that I am never alone. Even when life feels overwhelming, God is right beside me, strengthening me moment by moment.

    —

    2. Philippians 4:6-7

    > “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God…”

    This scripture became my daily weapon. Instead of panicking, I began praying. I poured out my worries in prayer, and little by little, God replaced them with His peace.

    —

    3. Psalm 34:4

    > “I sought the Lord, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears.”

    That was me. I sought Him—and He answered. My fears didn’t always disappear overnight, but their power over me was broken.

    —

    How I Fight Fear Today

    Fear still tries to creep in. I still face moments of uncertainty. But now I respond differently:

    I speak scripture out loud over myself and my home.

    I worship, even when I don’t feel like it.

    I pray honestly—as if God is sitting right next to me (because He is).

    I remind myself of His faithfulness in the past.

    Every time fear rises, I raise my faith higher.

    —

    If You’re Struggling Today…

    I want you to know: you’re not alone.

    God sees you. He hears even your silent tears. And He is bigger than whatever you’re facing right now.

    Start small. Choose one scripture. Write it down. Speak it over yourself every day. Let the Word of God drown out the voice of anxiety.

    God’s Word isn’t just beautiful—it’s powerful.

    —

    A Prayer for You

    Heavenly Father,
    I lift up every person reading this who is battling fear or anxiety. Let Your peace wash over them right now. Silence every lie of the enemy and replace it with Your truth. Remind them that they are not alone. That You are with them. That You are for them. Fill their hearts with courage, and their minds with calm. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

  • Expressing Gratitude

    “my contentment comes from a heart full of gratitude”

    “a grateful heart is not only the greatest virtue but the parent of all the other virtues”

    Cicero

    Gratitude is something I’ve learned to hold dear. Not just as a polite gesture, but as a way of life. For me, expressing my gratitude isn’t just about saying “thank you.” It’s more about showing it and living it.

    I’ve found that I express my gratitude best through acts of service. Whether it’s lending a helping hand, or simply being present and available, these little actions are my way of saying, “I see you, I appreciate you, and I don’t take you for granted.”

    To me there’s something more powerful about going beyond words. When I help others, I feel like I’m giving back a piece of the love or kindness I’ve received. It’s my own way of paying it forward. Sometimes it’s in big ways, and other times it’s as simple as checking in on someone or offering my time when I’d rather rest (and trust me, having 4 children, most of the time, I’m exhausted 😂).

    But every one of my acts of service carries meaning. Each one is a small reflection of the gratitude I carry in my heart.

    Why is gratitude so important? Because it shifts your focus. In a world that constantly tells us we need more, more success, more recognition, more stuff, gratitude says, “What I have is enough.” It brings peace. It humbles us. It opens our eyes to the blessings we often overlook. And it deepens our relationships, because when people feel appreciated, they feel valued.

    Gratitude also strengthens our faith. Personally, when I pause to thank God for what I have (even when it’s not everything I want), I’m reminded of His faithfulness. It keeps me anchored, especially in seasons where life feels hard or uncertain.

    So if you’re ever feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unfulfilled, I encourage you to start with gratitude. Write it down. Say it out loud. Show it through your actions and watch how it transforms your mindset and your heart.

    Now I’d love to hear from you. How do you express gratitude? Let me know in the comments or reflect on it in your own journal. However you choose to do it, just make sure you’re doing it often.

    With love,
    Harmonie

  • What makes a teacher great?


    “Teaching is the one profession that creates all other professions.” — Unknown

    A great teacher is more than someone who delivers lessons. They are mentors, motivators, and role models who leave a lasting impact long after the classroom doors close.


    Great teachers have a genuine love for learning and for sharing that love with others. Their enthusiasm is contagious, inspiring students to stay curious and engaged.


    They know their material inside and out, but more importantly, they know how to break it down in ways that make it accessible, relevant, and meaningful.


    Every child learns differently. A great teacher meets students where they are, adapts their approach, and encourages progress with compassion and patience.


    They don’t just teach — they listen. They understand the power of building relationships based on trust, respect, and understanding.


    A great teacher values diversity and creates a safe, welcoming environment for every student to be seen, heard, and valued.


    They never stop learning. Great teachers reflect on their practice, seek feedback, and continually strive to become better educators and better people.


    They nurture confidence, character, and critical thinking. They teach life skills, not just curriculum — shaping not just students, but future citizens and leaders.

    Being a great teacher isn’t about perfection. It’s about heart, consistency, and the willingness to walk alongside students as they grow — sometimes stumbling, sometimes soaring — always learning.
