I have a bad habit of putting pens in my pocket taking them with me when I leave an office. It all started with the bic stic pen it's clear, hexagonal barrel allowing me to see the ink working it's way down, taking notes, doing homework, writing in my journals. Next up the round pens … Continue reading I’m a Thief

I left a facebook quilt group. Shocked? I was, because quilters are in that group. I love helping quilters, and will do so as much as I can. I've been online as a quilter since rec.crafts.textiles.quilting days wanting, needing to be part of a group of other quilters. Quilters, for the most part are kind, sharing, … Continue reading Community
Like a Reed
Flexibility is a great virtue. My inboxes are a mix of faith reflections, pop psych, business, quilt shop newsletters and other quilt related stuff. Not to mention friends who long to catch up. *Oh bother! I have a letter to write to a couple of friends - grabs pen - see you later.* Okay I'm … Continue reading Like a Reed
Examen-ing
Last night I read Caralyn's Awarness VS Understanding with an ear toward listening, understanding. I've been aware of anorexia, and bulimia since Cynthia Gibb played Karen Carpenter in The Karen Carpenter Story. Caralyn's blog, Beauty Beyond Bones, where she shares her experience with anorexia is a beginning to understanding these serious disorders, how they effect the person, … Continue reading Examen-ing
I didn’t intend to blog today
But the words are right there so here goes: "But maybe you're thirsty" he said. Whoa. Here we are on Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent and VaLENTines day when the depth of these words are holding new, deeper meaning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m_sWJQm2fs Ash Wednesday is a Fast Day for Catholics (and other faiths). Those old/young … Continue reading I didn’t intend to blog today
Hallelujah!
On the Sunday before Ash Wednesday the pastor of the parish where I had a conversion experience, and got married would place a banner in a treasure chest where it would live until the Easter Vigil. Lent is a time of reflecting, changing, growing, becoming closer to God. It's one of my favorite seasons of … Continue reading Hallelujah!
The Quiet
Lent 2018 begins Wednesday February 14th. Valentines day. Valentines day, we celebrate the heart more often the romantic rather than the filial and everyday relational love. This day seemingly disregards our relationship with God and yet taking time to nurture our relationships with others does nurture our relationship with God. Nurturing that relationship strengthens our … Continue reading The Quiet
Repair!
When the opportunity happens, and I'm in the car with SiriusXM at just the right time either Jennifer Fulweiler or Hallie Lord are on. One of them had Leticia Ochoa Adams as a guest, and I really enjoyed something about her, so on and off I've been reading her blog. This week, Death Be Not … Continue reading Repair!
This is Love
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=witKT8Y6Da8 I listened to this song the other day and thought I'd share it here with you. I love Matt's voice, I love that he shares this gift of singing with the world, expressing his love for and relationship with the Lord. I'm teaching quilting locally on Saturday, we're going to be making a color … Continue reading This is Love
When worlds collide
This morning I woke up with a deep sense of gratitude, and began this day expressing this gratitude to God. This expression was later confirmed as I finished Hallie Lord's book On the Other Side of Fear: How I Found Peace and completed a chapter in The Morning Miracle where both books spoke of expressing … Continue reading When worlds collide
