I’m a Thief
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
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
Unraveling my Heart
Over the last few days I've enjoyed, and deeply benefited from an enchanting romp with Creative Brain. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bfmp7h9hrw1/?taken-by=terilucas Sitting at the machine and stitching is leading to thoughts of so many other projects. And starting of projects, it's overwhelming in a good way. It's nearly time to start the idea list back up. I have … Continue reading Unraveling my Heart
Lent
This is my twenty-sixth Lent. Each one, like each year of life, is unique. My Sweetie and I have been reading from Henri Nouwen before dinner, with each reading there is a sip of cool water, or a really good wine. Either way you go. Over the last few weeks the idea of practicing well … Continue reading Lent
Take up
your Cross and follow me. Then he [Jesus] said to all, “If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily* and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. What profit is there … Continue reading Take up
Reminders
One of my favorite priests has a saying, "we don't need new teachings, we need reminders." On TerifiCreations I have a Tutorials and Helpful Hints page, these are reminders for me and others for when things are going kaflooie! Reminders are things we've learned, or that others have learned that work, most of the time. … Continue reading Reminders
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
Control
Control—that ever-elusive dream. We all crave it, and yet our faith reminds us that we’re never really in control. We may try to convince ourselves otherwise, but usually we find out the hard way that even our best attempts to steer every last detail of our lives won’t give us what we’re seeking. So part … Continue reading Control
I don't know if you know this about me but I can be a bit snarky. Shocking, right?! Not really when considering that I grew up in New England and it's second nature. Depending on circumstances I do try to be careful as not everyone can see my face (the Big tell-all), appreciates, or gets … Continue reading
