Winter Blah's:  4 Fashion Fibs Debunked

Winter Blah’s: 4 Fashion Fibs Debunked

I don’t know about you, but this weather is dragging me up and down with each random peak and pit of the temps. One day it’s below zero, the next it’s fifty-five degrees. The earth is so bipolar right now. Couple that with the anniversary of some difficult life events: my father’s death eight years […]

Elise & I made lots of things, including  little scenes in glasses.

Moments of Love & Joy

Admission:  The holidays have come and gone except for New Year’s,  and with them all my good intentions of keeping focus on the Advent of Christ. I am easily distracted by the smallest details. I am also often overwhelmed by larger difficulties. Just like the new Christmas camera I’m still learning how to use, I […]

Advent Week Two: Peace?

Someone I love is struggling with addictions.  Addictions that consume them more than any substance they consume. I planned to write about Advent of Peace this week, but preoccupation has interrupted peace. This blogpost is my flailing attempt to write about a peace I don’t always feel. But maybe God is unsettling me to help […]

Elise & I had a snow day! I was supposed to go to an ugly sweater women’s luncheon and take something, but I didn’t go because of the weather. I was planning to take a Mexican dish called  chile colorado. Some people also call it mole. Elise has been asking me to teach her to […]

Bellas Conversaciones

A veces pienso que lo que le digo a  Dios es demasiado trivial, demasiado impaciente, demasiado tonto, demasiado … demasiado_________ .   Pero estoy muy equivocada.   Él nos quiere escuchar.   Adicionales pensamientos: En caso de que no lo hayan notado , no sólo trato de conocer a Dios intelectualmente , trato de experimentar […]

Beautiful Conversations

Beautiful Conversations

  Sometimes I think what I have to say to God is too trivial, too impatient, too silly, too…too_________. But I’m so wrong. He desires to hear us. Bunny trail:  In case you haven’t noticed, I don’t just attempt to know God intellectually, I try to experience God in the every day (though often I […]

Overflowing

Overflowing

Life can be so full, so joyous. It’s somewhat overwhelming. Do I gulp down the overflowing cup swiftly or let it spill about, sloshing joy wastefully over everything? Joy is a wasteful wanton thing, leaving little poignant thoughts behind to tease the moment from our limited memory. Yet fullness can be easily confused with comfort […]
