If you read many of my blogs, you know I’m a Rob Bell fan. His latest podcast did not disappoint. In fact, it gave language to what I’ve been wrestling with over the past year or so. The reference to this quote is not familiar to me – I know of Chariots of Fire, but… Continue reading We are the Committee

PO(o)F
In the last few weeks two different doctors came to the same conclusion – premature ovarian failure, or POF for short. I think an extra “o” should be added – PO(o)F seems more appropriate. Seeing the positive sign on a stick, poof. Going to the doctor’s office and comparing with other pregnant women, poof. Feeling… Continue reading PO(o)F
Curious
As I think I’ve mentioned before, I often listen to podcasts while I’m sewing. Because of my work schedule, I don’t get as much time to sew these days, so I’m a little behind on my listening. Tonight I had some time for myself and finished up the second step of a fairly large quilting… Continue reading Curious
God’s Highway
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
Holding
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
Anger
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
Little Hands
We had terrific weather last week in Breathitt County, KY. The first few days were cool in the morning and warmed up to the high 70s in the afternoon. Our work consisted of replacing the subfloor inside and putting up insulation under the house. The cool temperatures were much appreciated by everyone! However, as the… Continue reading Little Hands
Solstice, Part 2
Six months ago I was sitting here in the dark – physically, emotionally, spiritually. There was darkness everywhere. There were glimmers of light too, but it was mostly dark. And, I was okay with that. Nature outwardly reflected my inward being. We were on the same page – hello, darkness my old friend… And now,… Continue reading Solstice, Part 2
Abundance
It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the grief and sadness. Some days staying in a dark place is more comfortable than seeking out the light. However, for the most part, I have found myself preferring light over dark. Instead of living in scarcity, I’ve chosen abundance. When I look for abundance, it’s so easy to… Continue reading Abundance
Drained
Ever since college, I’ve tried to give blood regularly, although it doesn’t always happen regularly – I’ve gone years without donating. Something will trigger me and then I’ll find myself back in the habit. Even though I hate needles, I know the importance of giving blood and I don’t usually mind taking the time out… Continue reading Drained
