Hand It Over

Did you ever have to put your faith and trust in the hands of another? For a control freak this is a travesty. People like me who always want their ducks in a row and go to great lengths to put them there, can’t do this. Or, can we? How about it all you type . . . → Read More: Hand It Over

Dreams Shimmer

Dreams do that. They lie out there like the waves glinting on the water and move….ever so subtly through the back of my mind. No matter what I’m doing, I’m aware of those dreams, clicking like a wave on the shore, rippling underneath and giving energy and motion to my days.

Whether I’m washing . . . → Read More: Dreams Shimmer

My God, Your God

People are always saying, “My God is….and your God is…” There is no “my God, your God”. God belongs to everyone. He does not put rules and restrictions on how each of us chooses to have a relationship with Him.

I have wanted to write this post for a very long time, but even though . . . → Read More: My God, Your God

Something Hard

Not too long ago I cited Eleanor Roosevelt’s quote, “Do one thing each day that scares you.” Today I revamped that quote: do one thing everyday that is hard for you.

Her reasons were solid and made valid points in running a business. I don't for a moment disagree with any of them. However, and it's a big however, she . . . → Read More: Yahoo Mom

Vacation

When I think of vacations immediately thoughts of suitcases and planes appear in my mind. Today I experienced a different type of vacation. The last ten days have been out of the norm for me due to company, storms, and travel. I arrived home from NY this afternoon and my wires were crossed and my . . . → Read More: Vacation

How The Hell Did This Happen?

I was busy painting while watching the NASCAR pre-show. They were interviewing Clint Bowyer. My head snapped up when I heard him say, “How the hell did this happen?” in reference to where he is today. They showed him in his gorgeous car and home. He said, “I never had money, I’m just a boy . . . → Read More: How The Hell Did This Happen?

Out Of The Head

I brought a few projects with me to NY this weekend and planned to work on them while my husband was at work, but I had one of those days where I just couldn’t settle into either art or writing. “Go shopping. Go shopping.” kept niggling in the back of my mind. I can’t waste . . . → Read More: Out Of The Head

The Here & Now

There is a a lot talk in the spirituality realm these days about being in the present. This is a hard concept for me. I mean, how hard is it to stay present, when, your, well…present? I pay attention to what I’m doing when I’m doing it, so I’m present, right? I thought so until . . . → Read More: The Here & Now
