Just Do It! (Thanks Nike.) In my mind today I’m thinking of the Beatitudes. The first half is so consoling. Those who have been dealt the short straws in earthly life will be rewarded. If you’re hungry, you will be fed. If you’re poor and homeless, you will inherit the kingdom of God. If you’re…

Overwhelmed In my mind today, I’m feeling you guessed it students OVERWHELMED! We all get this way periodically. I’ve just been way off of my game as of late and I’m trying desperately to right my routine and world. As my dad always warned me about too many irons in the fire, my irons are…

Children of the Light I chose this photo because Sandra and her children spent may days here. The photo was taken from the choir loft early Christmas morning. This is where we grew, shared, and gathered our inner light for many years together. Look at the light. It seems alive as it filters in the windows…

I just finished a book and it mentioned this…

Pictures from our solar eclipse adventure. In my mind today, I’m reflecting (no pun intended) on the solar eclipse of August 21, 2017. I took a vacation day along with a lot of other Americans. Eclipses have been recorded as early as 780 B.C. They were thought to be omens. Wouldn’t it be great if…

Pieces of our journey. Commitments In my mind today I’m thinking about commitments. Are you true to your commitments? Do you follow through? My mom was big on commitments and following through. I still hear her in my mind when my calendar begins to fill up. Then I hear my daddy saying, “Girl you are…

Dolly our new addition that chose us. She strayed our way and is bringing new life into our old girls. It’s beautiful. Top right she is sitting by me whilst I ponder America. 💜 Forgiveness In my mind, I’m thinking about forgiveness. Have you ever held a grudge? Did the sight of someone that hurt…

My impatients in the window box after the rain. Watching it Rain In my mind today, I’m watching it rain and thinking of rainy days of my past. I remember getting up on dark rainy mornings and going through my routine that lead me to rushing to work with a huge Tervis tumbler full of…
