Yesterday was a "heavy-hearted" day. A dear friend lost her sister. Also yesterday, another friend lost his mom. Last night I drove my husband to the airport, after receiving word of his father's "dire" condition after suffering a heart attack. Three of my...
Facing Trials — “Sweetheart”- The Butterfly With One Wing
Yesterday was a "heavy-hearted" day. A dear friend lost her sister. Also yesterday, another friend lost his mom. Last night I drove my husband to the airport, after receiving word of his father's "dire" condition after suffering a heart attack. Three of my...
My Window Sill
Working in the kitchen is sometimes enjoyable to me and at other times it's not. One day I might relish creating a tasty gourmet meal and at other times (maybe more accurately "most" times) I just try to come up with something to cook that's a little more creative...
Hesitation…
I pushed the button! Just like that. It was done…out there for the world. It seemed so easy to push the button, but it was scary. Hours upon hours of work culminated with the simple push of a button -- “publish”. Meanwhile the conversations in my mind were at...
More on “Understanding Goose”
It's almost September 1 so I won't keep talking about geese much longer! It's just that this release is exciting to me, as I am passionate about the topic. I pray the book can be a helpful tool that touches lives and ultimately brings about a deeper connection with...
Do You Have Power?
Do you have power? This was a common question flying around on text messages today in New England. Our hurricane/tropical storm created many power outages in the area. Actually, it felt kind of nice for a while. It was quiet...very quiet, and rather relaxing to be...
May I Hold Your Emotions?
If you look carefully inside my hands you may see my oldest grandson’s emotions! I met my daughter Melissa at the mall yesterday during lunch time in order to help her with the kids. They were scheduled to have their pictures taken. We played a bit while waiting for...
A Song of Encouragement
Ever go to encourage someone and then discover that you have received much more encouragement than you have given? Last night was one of those nights. I went "back to school" for a lesson in encouragement. Before dinner my friend, Deidre, sent me a text - "Peggy...
Sippy Cups – Simplicity
Every so often these writings will center around children - both teaching them and being taught by them. Today I was taught. This morning I took my prayer walk with my 18 month old grandson. He listened attentively, while occasionally turning around to ask the...
Morphed!
I've always admired those close up pictures of butterflies that "some people" are able to capture. Well, yesterday was my day. While on a prayer walk I spied this beautiful creature enjoying some sweet nectar. Butterflies always remind me of the amazing change...
A Century Ride or a 25 Minute Ride?
A few days ago while on facebook I noticed that my friend Erica had completed a century bike ride in Colorado. A century ride goes for at least 100 miles. This particular ride went through four mountain passes. This was particularly inspiring to me since she has...
Digging Through the Roof
I must confess this web site construction is currently "over my head." I've googled "web sites for dummies" and read some blogs about starting them. I'm swimming into unknown waters and about to get a headache from so much reading. However, I'm determined to "make...
