Twenty-four Hours Early
Morning dawned bright and early, it was probably more overcast and breezy. I, did however, get up early like 4:30 am early. Sleep for women of a certain age can get sketchy and then there's the weird dreams wherein I wake up feeling as though the conversations last all night long. When the beep, beep, … Continue reading Twenty-four Hours Early
Asking for Help
I'm currently working on editing a video interview. A couple of months ago I knew how to add a couple of features and now, because of lack of practice, I don't remember. Thankfully I have a friend who will help me so I'll be back up and running fairly quickly. This is a good reminder … Continue reading Asking for Help
He is Risen!
He is Risen Indeed! May the Resurrection of Jesus fill you with hope of life eternal.
Good God, it’s Friday!

I've been in that space in prayer once that I … Continue reading Holy Week

When the Blaze Becomes Intense, but it’s not what I thought
Over on TerifiCreations I've mentioned that I'd love to spend a day writing sensational, click-bait style headlines both for fun and the creative exercise it is. If I actually did this it would over time become part of the lexicon of my brain. I need to plan this day sometime soon for in and of … Continue reading When the Blaze Becomes Intense, but it’s not what I thought
a second and necessary word of the year
of or related to Elizabeth Scalia's Little Sins Mean a Lot Often when I'm teaching I point out mistakes, missteps, wobbles, imperfections in the quilting, places where I wasn't paying attention, yada yada. I do this for specific reasons- to show that even beautiful things have flaws- to show that someone who has thousands of … Continue reading a second and necessary word of the year
