A Spiritual Journey Through Creativity
Two weeks ago I had dinner with a good friend of mine. It had been awhile since we’d been together, so we spent some time catching up. It wasn’t long, however, before we went deeper — that’s what I love about our friendship, we don’t stay on the surface for long. That look on her… Continue reading With or Without an Object? That is the Question.
My fingers will be sore in the morning. In fact, as I type this, I can already feel that tips of my left hand fingers are tender. After singing at the end of yoga class tonight, I had the urge to create music myself. So, for the first time since September, and who knows how… Continue reading It Came Right Back to Me
I listened to a new podcast earlier this evening — 10 Things To Tell You by Laura Tremaine. The topic was loneliness and I immediately turned up the volume to hear what she had to say. You see, even though I’m happily married and have a great family and many friends, I am often lonely.… Continue reading Two is a Lonely Number
Around two months ago I was looking at our calendars to see what was coming up in 2019. I noticed right away that there were a lot of “dots” on the last couple weeks of January. I narrowed in and realized why. Brad was headed to Vegas for his quarterly work trip which lasts 7… Continue reading So Much for a Plan
I have a lot of interests: I read novels. I make quilts. I take pictures. I practice yoga. I run. I write. All of these interests and activities bring me joy. They also fill my time. I never thought of this as a bad thing. Each one of these activities are good things to do… Continue reading Meet My Friend Grief
I receive a call or email or message on Facebook asking about having a quilt made. We go back and forth about what they want until I think they’re ready to commit and I schedule a time for the person to come over to my house. Most often they are on time, but sometimes I’m… Continue reading What It Costs
Since starting my small business, Quilting Moonbeams, in 2013, I’ve found that my busiest times are the few months leading up to Christmas and the few months leading up to graduation. T-shirt quilts seem to be go-to presents for those events — and I’d have to agree! After starting my new job, I didn’t have… Continue reading A Recap of Christmas Quilts
Although there are many characteristics I love about our puppy, Steve is not the best walker. He pulls and whines. I find he does better walking in the dark — maybe because he can’t see as far ahead? Some walks are better than others, but many times I find myself frustrated and annoyed and so.over.it… Continue reading Looking Out the Window
I don’t really know where it came from, but it popped into my head and I knew it was my one little word for 2019: Open. Unlike Gratitude — a word I chose because I knew I needed to focus on being grateful in 2017 — and Explore — a word I chose because I… Continue reading Open
Explore. My one little word for 2018. I explored local parks and paths preparing for my walk in Spain. I explored with a small backpack and then the official one I took with me. I explored with Denali by my side as I emptied out water bottles when my pack started to feel too heavy.… Continue reading Explore: OLW Wrap-Up
