Booksets: From Me To You Journals and Powerful Prayers For Your Son and Daughter
The usually-dry creek bed behind my house is full and overflowing well out of its bounds as I tap these words into this post! Late morning, yesterday, the clouds opened up and dumped out sheets of rain. I don’t even know an official amount, but over four inches. It was a beautiful rain, except for […]
What Did I Do To Deserve This?
Good morning friends………….the framework of this story is set in the barebones of a true-life tale shared with me about a little girl and her response to a surprise giftcard in the mail. I took it, added some twists, a big bit of creative license and sketched out this story of grace. I tell it […]
What Type of Person Do I Desire To Be Free Printable

A Common Masterpiece
Raspberry coffee drips in the coffeemaker. The quiet of the morning surrounds me. My farmer man left early, thus the raspberry dripping. I sent him out the door with hazelnut and a splash of half and half in his insulated mug, given to us by the insurance company, their name scrawled in letters across the side. Sliding the […]
What Do I Have To Offer?
What do I have to offer? The truth? This is the question I ask far too often. I don’t feel especially talented or called. I don’t have great ambitions or terrific dreams. I’m not a mover or changer. I don’t thrive in large crowds and one of my favorite things is curling up with a […]
In The Pause
I’d been a bit chilly all day, snuggled into a favorite sweatshirt. The oven warmth was welcoming as I slid pans of cinnamon-sugar coated cookies in and out. At the edge of the kitchen, the calendar beamed its brand-new April page as I’d actually remembered to turn it this morning. Sunshine played peekaboo and a southish wind sent drafts around […]

Covered and GraceFull
I mentioned yesterday morning as gray and rainy. WELL. THIS morning, was definitely all macho-competitive-bring-it about topping yesterday. And it totally did. It whooped. It gailed. It whistled fiercely. It rained and yammered and all-the-terrifically-fierce things. A whole lotta years ago, I wrote this post about WIND and my feelings haven’t changed. LET ME TELL […]
Ten Things I Have To Tell You About The Enneagram
It’s gray and rainy here this morning. The fog and mist has thickened around us all morning. I sent a few Bitmojis to friends and family depicting pouring rain and raining cats and dogs! Ha! I’m longing for spring and open windows and sunshine and birds chirping! Ah, well. It’s coming! Gray weather presents a […]
Tricked Into Treasuring Trash
I’ll spare you the more repulsive details… . . Only enough to provide a framework for the lesson Miss Jackie acted out for me as we took an evening stroll. The thermometer blinked a forty-nine degrees and the sun shone overhead. A warm hat and fuzzy gloves warded off the chilly wind as we headed […]
