I needed a subtle reminder. Ok, not so subtle! A friend passed this on to Mrs. Donna who then sent the link my way.
I am a huge Mrs. Donna fan. For a lot of reasons. Some incredibly personal to me. Moments like finding this video just reaffirm to me how valuable my friendship with [...]

Recently a miracle occured. My son believes his awesome prayer life is to blame. A picture’s worth a thousand words and in East Texas each picture is certainly worth a thousand each.
In the begining it was a dream….
So I have to say with Mat and Abbey….
My white knight ankle deep in the white…
Abbey’s view
Siblings+Snow= Snowball [...]

I didn’t have access to a lot of knowledge about art before my college days. From classes and classmates there, I was introduced to what many have access to from birth. And it didn’t take much for me to fall in love with art. Marc Chagall has become one of my favorite artists. Recently, [...]

I am sure there are others with a more detailed history with her. I’m sure there are others with more rivoting stories connected to her. All I know is that she made me feel at “home” at a time when I was really struggling to define that word. Even long after I had moved [...]

It’s a bit tattered
It’s a bit worn
There are some places
Where the pages are torn
Dog eared and marked up
Not much to see
But when you hold it
You’re holding the best part of me
I was so mixed up
I’d lost my way
I had forgotten
The feeling of grace
At first confusing
Challenged all I believe
Now when you hold it
You’re holding the best [...]

There are few as honest as this lady. Her honesty always leaves its mark on me. Always. As a parent, I just don’t have the words …

April’s tongue and cheek take on those who do not wish to hatch…
This small space is what I know.
This fish tank existence is what I am accustomed to.
Don’t give me the world.
This small space is what I know.
This oyster’s shell I created for myself is safe even if restrictive.
Don’t give me the world.
This small space [...]

I am in a new place. Times of crisis test what you really believe and who you really are. You’re soul and bone deep weary. You can’t keep up with those who generally lend their strength. You are so not yourself. And in times like that you really need kind and patient reminders of who [...]

My mother- in- law was recently diagnosed with cancer. We’ve been through the one inch gash across her back that was supposedly going to be a few inches long. We have dealt with removing lymph nodes. And now we are begining to move through the phase of 20 days of meds in a port [...]

She thinks I’m not watching
But I never miss a movement
Graceful as she stoops to dip her brush
Finishing some joke or story
Entrancing me with her gently focused stroke
Raising her head half smiling
She has caught me watching
Smirks in the knowing
Blushing I turn back to painting
But I never miss a movement
She doesn’t think I’m listening
Silently I’m puttering
Words seeming [...]
