About
Hello Beautiful!
Thanks for taking the time to visit, and welcome to our crazy awesome HOME, GARDENING, FOOD and PRAYER LIFESTYLE blog.
Here we’ll provide quality content to help foster an attitude of gratitude with transformational motivation to aid in the enrichment of daily life.
This will be explored through various topics such as food, travel, home-keeping and gardening. We’ll share tips & tricks, simplified for execution- to help eliminate tension and anxiety.
See the thing is, not only do we want other people to find peace and joy by treasuring the little things in life- this is also a personal journey.
As we ourselves are wives and moms often focused on taking care of others, this blog is dedicated to our quest to enjoy life- something, at one point, we have each found hard to do.
Having battled depression and self-doubt, we are determined to see this through.
So if you ever feel inundated by life or are just looking to switch things up, LIKE, FOLLOW and SUBSCRIBE to our email list and come along for the ride.
Life is worth more and we have challenged ourselves to enjoy every moment of it. We encourage you to do the same.
Lets Live-Love-Life y’all, One day at a time.

Hi I'm Natalie.
Thank you for taking the time to browse through our site. You could be anywhere on the world wide web, but you are here with me. I appreciate it, and hope to inspire you on your own quest through life as I explore mine.
Things haven’t always been easy throughout my life, in fact, at times they’ve gotten pretty hard, dark and terribly lonely. I have struggled mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually and to be honest, there are times when I still do. However through it all, as a child of Christ- in spite of the unpleasantries, there remains a strong desire within me to make the most of this gift called life.
For the past couple of years, I have also had a desire to share my experiences with the world. Not for validation. Not for followers but rather because I want other people to know that it is okay to be human. Like real, low down dirty shame homosapiens. I don’t think we see enough of this anymore, and what we do see has been edited or altered to fit a specific narrative.
I believe immensely in failing forward. In fact, it’s the unofficial motto of my life and while the fall is not always graceful, I do believe we can learn from these lessons.
“Grow in all ways, always” Unknown
I’ve had days where I’ve had little to no appetite. Days when I didn’t get out of bed. Mood swings. Drastic highs and lows. Oh and impulsive behaviour- yeah that seemed to be my specialty. Dark days when all I wanted to do was cry. Feelings of regret, doubt, and fear.
As I said, I’m talking about the REAL, the DOWN, the DIRTY and the SHAME. Heavy conversations that most do not want to have- this is my goal. This is what I aim to do. To create a safe space for people to feel and process what they may be experiencing in their own lives. All of this is NOT because I have the answers, but because I care and I want to see more real life representation throughout social media. Yeah, that’s right- people with issues like me and you.
To be clear, this is for my fellow “life has had me in a grip” sufferers. The “I feel so lonely all the time” type of people. The “I pretend to have it all together” individuals. This is for you, and this is for me; this is for us.
I will be one of your hosts (if you’ll have me)- the honourably imperfect me, otherwise known as Natalie Liburd. In this role, I will try my best to peel back the layers that have kept me from living a purpose filled life. I hope to encourage you to do the same.
Will you join me? There are no strings attached. Just a girl trying to get to the bottom of all this junk that has gotten in the way.
Together we will rise and shine like the stars that we were created to be (and not one of those dusty old dry stars either). I’m talking about North Star status.
Sincerely yours,
Natalie
Post Script:
To our followers: I don’t know you, but I love you. I’ll be praying for you- please don’t give up the fight. You’re a rockstar, and you’ve got this.
To my kids: you are my motivation for it all. You are the ones who have never shown me your backs, even when the world has shown me theirs. Mommy loves you.
To my devoted husband to whom I fervently love, with every fibre of my being: I’ve got you.
Hi I'm Cherrelle.
I also make up half of the team here at ALWM . I am so excited to have you here and to share in your lived experiences, as I share with you my own. Through our podcast, chats, articles, and videos I hope to send you loving support where and when you need it the most.
Life is such a beautiful journey but let’s be real, it can also be challenging to navigate. During your mental, physical, emotional and spiritual journey, just know that you aren’t alone and that we’ve been there too.
A little bit about me- I’m a wife and a mother to a blended family, which has truly been a blessing to my life. Still, blessings are not void of their challenges. From miscarriage to job loss, sickness and motherhood, my life has encountered many dynamic events. In the midst of it all, I have also reclaimed my faith in God- so my hands have been full to say the least!
Gratefully, I have learned many lessons that have propelled me forward in ways that I couldn’t have imagined. Getting to know and understanding who I am, has helped me to love myself immensely more than ever before, which has been one of the greatest lessons that I’ve learned.
My experiences have given me the urge to share my testimony, with hope that bits of my story will help other people who may be going through something similar. I strongly feel that God has put a calling on my life, to make A Life Worth More a holistic source of support for the global community.
Here at A Life Worth More, you will find many resources such as videos, articles, printables, and a like-minded online community. Our topics are centred around everyday life such as home management, encouragement, cleaning tips and tricks, budgeting, planning and so much more. By the grace of God we aim to support you in your personal growth and development.
Lastly, I realise that where you are right now in this moment of your journey may be dark. You may feel hopeless without knowing how to pull yourself out of the cycle that you’re in. Whether or not this is you, I would encourage you to subscribe to our newsletter, so that we can give you support throughout life’s many moments. Our newsletters are hyper focused to give readers a quick message of encouragement, and get them on their way to live their best day.
May you be blessed in your quest to live a life worth more.
Sincerely,
Cherrelle
