A Spiritual Journey Through Creativity
I started listening to Sandra McCracken in high school when she sang with Caedmon’s Call. I love singing along with her – my favorite was Shifting Sand. Not only did I resonate with the lyrics, but also with her voice. Last fall when I was thinking more about the psalms, I came across her appropriately… Continue reading God’s Highway
Thanks to the “On this day” feature on Facebook, I was reminded that one year ago today I posted my first blog. I remember being anxious about pushing the publish button. What if no one would read it? I soon came to realize, it didn’t matter if anyone read it or not. That’s not the… Continue reading One Year
I’m not quite sure when our relationship began – I can’t specify the year or age when we first connected. He’s always been there, but I didn’t start paying attention to him until possibly middle school? I think it was during a week at summer camp when I first really noticed him. I recall that… Continue reading Moon
I don’t really know where to begin here. I went to my last (for now) breathwork class with Beth tonight. More powerful energies moving around. Then I pulled onto 62nd street driving west and I gasped at the sight of the moon. Yes, the eclipse on Monday was spectacular. Amazing, in fact. But, you know… Continue reading Holding
We all do it. We just don’t always notice it. Not until something happens that speeds up or slows down our breathing do we even notice it’s going on. For me it takes exercise – a brisk walk, a run or a bike ride – to start noticing my breath. When my emotions ramp up… Continue reading Breathing
A couple weeks ago I went to a breath work class at my yoga studio. I had actually started a blog about breathing earlier today, but I’ll save that for later. After going to a breath work workshop this afternoon, I feel there are more pressing things to process. Detachment – looking at an experience,… Continue reading Detachment
Another year has come and gone. It’s hard to believe 37 years have already passed. When did that happen? How is it possible? At the start of this year I wrote a blog reflecting on the past year, but that was more events and experiences. For today I want to reminisce a bit and honor… Continue reading 37
I often think about the chain of events required to happen in order for people to meet or experiences to occur. For example, the only reason I found the job description for my current position is due to the fact that I was looking at a part-time blog coordinator position at the IU Lilly Family… Continue reading T’s Quilts
I started selling quilts in 2013. One of my first customers was my cousin Jennifer. She asked me to make a t-shirt quilt for her husband. It was a big quilt and had t-shirts on both sides. Considering it was one of the first quilts I made for someone else, I was so grateful for… Continue reading Aunt Jenn
Let it be messenger, come to tell us what we most need to know, hard though its words may be to hear. Trust, even when you cannot believe it, that it will carry its own consolations, that it knows what to do with what has shattered. Trust that the other face of anger is courage,… Continue reading Anger
