Often when I write posts they are a result of on-going internal processing and prayer. I wake up hearing a song and the end result is a reflective post on that song. "Oceans" along with Journey (word of the year) being frequent themes for 2015. Both are a recognition of something deeper stirring. I don't … Continue reading Drafts

beauty
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNGdcq0pAuU The words to Majesty are the earworm of the week. A full week. Autumn gets me thinking about beauty, about life's journey, about this blazing, amazing moment of richness, and depth that happens. About the JOURNEY of it all. How some years seem to fly right by without so much as a "nice to … Continue reading beauty
entitled
So this is a dual post one where I caught myself getting annoyed with someone on more than one occasion. And STOPPED it cold. In both instances the person is new in their position and learning something that takes time. Customer Service in any way, shape, and form, takes time to learn. And on the … Continue reading entitled
Why would you?
Two things this morning kept me thinking. Apparently enough to slow me down enough with something that needs to be done by this weekend. I'm not so much having writers block as it is writer's pause. I'm pausing to do something else and think for a bit before proceeding with the writing. My favorite Priest … Continue reading Why would you?

It spoke to my heart. I shared it with someone who was sharing her heart with … Continue reading Dedication
Good and perfect gifts
God has a sense of humor. I'm sitting in my living room, watching the Yankee game, minding my own business when, "every good and perfect gift" floats through my mind. I know this verse from somewhere, memorized it a long time a go, but for the life of me can't remember chapter & verse. So, … Continue reading Good and perfect gifts
Celebrating Life
This was a first, a wedding and a funeral all in one day. Both celebrations of moments in life that happen. The continuation of life, a new journey together, a life let go. To see the glow of the bride & groom, and the aching hearts of those gathered to remember the life no longer … Continue reading Celebrating Life

So I've been thinking about some quilterly things. And I realized I never really told you about how I learned to quilt. Sure if you've heard my lecture or have read my other blog for any period of time you've read part of the journey or watched it unfold. However if you're new to my blog, … Continue reading Free . . . ish
The spirituality of quilt making
This article, Building Spiritual Capital, appeared in the New York Times several weeks ago. At the time I remember reading it, being moved to tears thinking, "Yes!" way to go grandma. Then in true quilterly fashion thinking of the spirituality of quilt making. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8ful0cmPNQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m_sWJQm2fs This morning I heard both of these songs one right … Continue reading The spirituality of quilt making
