Space. It can be a pretty sacred thing when you are intentional about it. It can be an actual thing... an area that is free or unoccupied. And it can be something you do or create... positioning things or items with distance from one another. I've learned that I really like the spaces in my… Continue reading sacred space

coffee shop conversation
What do you see when you look at this photo? A coffee shop? A table and chairs? Space? This is a little spot in a local Starbucks that I visit regularly. And this little spot I notice often. Years ago, before the days of iPhone cameras in our back pocket, I saw a grandpa… Continue reading coffee shop conversation
cold front clean up
I spent pretty much the whole day working outside. After not feeling great, the fresh air and beautiful weather were a nice change from being cooped up inside. So I worked a little, stopped when I needed to, then worked some more. Our flower beds needed SO much attention. They bloom and flourish all… Continue reading cold front clean up
winter bleak
Stark, bare, utter, complete It's what I see in the winter bleak Simplicity... He alone in us No extra fluff, no extra fuss This morning's hues of purple and pink Are a bonus gift, like a nod or wink Or really, it's like a big, warm hug Reminding us of His royal love This… Continue reading winter bleak
cloudy day light
Cloudy morning, rain's on it way A day of soggy, wind, and gray But just inside it's rather bright By the fragrant tree and the Christmas lights It's my favorite time to seek His ways It's my favorite place to start my day But... the light isn't coming just from the tree His words illuminate… Continue reading cloudy day light
a tree out of season
Do you notice anything about the photo below ? I spotted this little scene earlier this year on one of my many treks down Highway 6 to Target. In fact, it jumped out at me so vividly, that I turned my car around and pulled over just to snap this pic. When I look… Continue reading a tree out of season
color us healthy
It's a new school year, and I'm trying to start the school year with #goals. As a family, we have worked all summer to cook together and try new foods... Mainly produce items and colors but we tried cooking some new dishes, too. This pic here is my attempt to track our efforts. Tracking has… Continue reading color us healthy
the monotony of exercise
Have you ever started a new workout- loving every second, going everyday- only to find yourself burned out months... maybe even weeks later? I certainly have. I still do! It takes intentional effort on my part to find variety. I will try a different format to teach in jazzercise. Last year I took some tennis… Continue reading the monotony of exercise
coffee grinder gratitude
I woke up this morning and this coffee canister was empty. EMPTY. That is NOT a good feeling when you are an overly-dependent A.M. coffee drinker like I am. I starting rummaging around our pantry feeling quite panicked at the thought of no morning cup-o-joe. It didn't take long for me to find this bag… Continue reading coffee grinder gratitude
color my world
Color makes me happy. I have never done a bible study (picture below) where I marked over the words of my bible so much. I mean, I LOVE my journaling bible but pretty much stay in the margins. Color coding so many different colors on so much scripture just felt a little weird when I started. … Continue reading color my world
