Here it is the end of the third week of Advent, which also happens to be the shortest day of the year. As I am a short woman this is highly appropriate that I share a few snippets of the year and the twenty-twenty-five word of the year. Institute for Spiritual Direction - is as … Continue reading Word of the Year 2025

Wheeeeee
When starting the Institute for Spiritual Direction in the fall of 2023 I thought I'd be writing more frequently about what we're reading and learning and doing. The lack of writing has much to do with both the desire to honor what the others in the group are sharing with me and that there is … Continue reading Wheeeeee
Writing, Reading and Pondering
One of my favorite places is in the hammock in the backyard, sometimes reading, sometimes dozing. I would have stayed out a bit longer this morning except that the temps and humidity drove me inside. https://www.instagram.com/p/C8FKB_jRMUY/ I did have quite the view though. Right now I'm reading Fully Human, Fully Divine: An Interactive Christology Michael … Continue reading Writing, Reading and Pondering
Rejecting Connection
Happy Easter! Christ is Risen, Alleluia. Apparently I took a blogging break during Lent. It was, as I've read here and there, something of a Lenty Lent. When the Holy Spirit prompts you to go a bit deeper you get to pick, do I go deeper or not. The Holy Spirit only needs an atom … Continue reading Rejecting Connection
Looking: Still Waters run Deep
"Quilting is a beautiful and complicated art" is one of the taglines I've had over on TerifiCreations. I had this for a while because indeed it is. Often as quilters progress through sewing they often land in the world of quilting and stay there. I landed here oh so many years ago in part because … Continue reading Looking: Still Waters run Deep

Perhaps it is good to start this post with a link to Miriam Ezagui on Instagram. Miriam is an Orthodox Jew who takes the time to explain the beauty of her faith, religion and religious practice. As a Catholic I appreciate her faith, and religious practice deeply and appreciate it for so many reasons. To … Continue reading Connection
Wonder and Awe
Last night as my Sweetie and I drove home from the parish mission, oh this had to be so good. Oh I kind of remember now. The memory thing was staring me right in the face, Wonder and Awe. I didn't know that in Confirmation that the Bishop prays for Wonder and Awe as one … Continue reading Wonder and Awe
Fallow
According to our friends at Merriam-Webster fallow means: usually cultivated land that is allowed to lie idle during the growing season On the kitchen counter is the batch of cinnamon rolls I baked this morning. I make cinnamon rolls once, maybe twice a year, enjoying both the process of making and the decadent delight of … Continue reading Fallow
I’ve gotta admire Jacob, Wrestling all night
My copy of Our Lady of Hot Messes arrived Friday and I'm starting to dig in. When I review quilting books I can often tell in the dedication how the book is going to be, if this holds true then this book will be different and challenging. When someone says, "y'all deserved better" there is … Continue reading I’ve gotta admire Jacob, Wrestling all night
Oasis
While hauling around suitcases this week one of them jammed into my big toe, it's fine, it'll be fine. Central Texas got a little rain this week. As a general rule when I go for the mail I step on the berm adjacent to our front door, cross the street and walk to the mailbox. … Continue reading Oasis
