Lovelife

Do you remember your “Young Days” when it seemed everything was about love? I don’t remember covering my math notebook or my English notebook (nor any notebook for that matter!) with my latest flames’ name. I do remember writing my enamoured’s name INSIDE the notebook, all over some random page.

Doing the Tree Pose

This is the yoga “tree pose.” I’m not sure why it’s called a tree. I would think a tree pose would have both feet firmly rooted to the qround.  In reality, this pose looks like it should be called the flamingo pose. Trees are supposed to be strong and stable;

Jesus in the Middle

I am currently working a contest in my home-based jewelry business with Premier Designs Jewelry. I am on the final stretch of a 6-month challenge and I am working to achieve half of the new jewelry line (that comes out in July) for free! I hit a point the other

Shopping for….

Confession time: I love to shop. It’s not the actual purchasing that excites me; I get a thrill just checking out new (or new-to-me) stuff. It can be any type of item I’m browsing that brings delight : clothes, shoes, material, paper, dishes, knick-knacks, towels, furniture… my list is fairly

Seeking Life

Looking for Jesus

I am headed into one of those weeks that just looks and feels TOO busy. I’m sure I’ve managed weeks like this before, but last night, and this morning, as I look ahead, I feel overwhelmed. The cloudy sky out my window reflects my mood. The wind seems to imitate

Waiting, Hoping

As I sit in my chair, glancing out my window at tulips longing to open, I am caught by the idea that I also am waiting. I am waiting for “the perfect life.” My heart lonqs for it, my prayers beg God for it, my daily activities all attempt to

Life upon Life

For the last couple of days I’ve been processing Psalm 18. I admit I have a bit of disconnect with this Psalm. I am not a ruler, I don’t have evil people chasing me, no one is trying to kill me,  I’ve never been to war or been in battle
