A Spiritual Journey Through Creativity
I know, it has been awhile. Seasons come and go, you know. I last wrote a blog post on September 8. Here I am on November 25. Since starting this blog in 2016, I don’t think I’ve ever taken such a long break. But, the last post was called Press Pause, so… Last week I… Continue reading Seasons Come and Go
I updated my readers about my book progress in yesterday's newsletter. If you don't receive it, you can subscribe here. If I tell myself that winter knows best, maybe I’ll start to believe it. I mean, what can it hurt? At the start of the week the highs were in the 60s, the sun was… Continue reading Winter Knows Best
What do you see when you look at a perfectly curated Instagram grid? What do you see when you scroll through Facebook day after day? I’ll tell you what I see… I see beautiful meals plated out ready for the family to eat. I see happy children celebrating birthdays or going to their first day… Continue reading What Do You See
A few weeks before Advent began I saw an email from Jan Richardson about an online retreat she would be hosting during the four weeks leading up to Christmas. I considered it but decided to wait a little longer to make my decision. Then, a couple days later, a friend sent me a message asking… Continue reading Wandering in the Wilderness
I had no idea that when we started tearing up the carpet last May that I would be sitting in my living room on the first Sunday of Advent looking at an air compressor and nail gun and everything else that is cluttering the space. Of course, projects always take longer than expected, but this… Continue reading Dust, Disorder and Dis-ease
For those following along, you know I love tulips. So much so, that I planted a lot of bulbs during my sabbatical in the fall of 2016. Last year very few came up and I attributed that to the strange weather we had that winter. I was outside cleaning flowerbeds in January. That is not… Continue reading Layers of Fear
2017. Another tough one. I have thoughts on my hopes for 2018, but before I move forward, I want to look back and reflect on what this year taught me. Side note: This took me three hours to put together! Reviewing my calendar, looking through past blog posts, scrolling through pictures... Although I touch on… Continue reading 2017: A Year in Review
I get caught off guard a lot. I should be used to it by now, but I’m not. There are moments when I am grateful for quiet mornings to myself, when I don’t have to worry about anyone but the dog and I. We can go for a walk, or not. I fix my own… Continue reading Off Guard
Thanks to Daylight Savings Time I’m waking up early right now – I haven’t adjusted to my new wake up time. Rather than waiting for the alarm to go off this morning, I decided to just get up and take a longer walk with Denali. Although it was cold, it was a beautiful morning to… Continue reading A Walk in the Dark
Yesterday Brad mentioned how I can go seamlessly from conversation with a human into one with an animal without really noticing. He’s right. I talk to Denali as if she’s another person in the room. Brad often gets frustrated because at times it’s hard to know if I’m talking to him or the dog. Last… Continue reading A Basket, Towel and Rock
