Imagine if You Can…

Imagine if You Can…

Never could I have imagined that one day I would have chronic pain so bad that I would have to survive on pain medication. Not in a million years would I have believed that my physical lifestyle would alter so drastically. I loved to dance. I took ballet and modern dance classes. I was also an [...]

The Voices of my Children

The Voices of my Children

And they sing. With voices the color of buttercups and vanilla. Lifted and soaring, low and urgent. Telling a story, telling every story, telling a story I’ve never heard. Spinning deftly into my soul.

The Joy of Making the Invisible “Visible”

The Joy of Making the Invisible “Visible”

There are many ways of being artful and making the invisible “visible.” I like to sit spontaneously doodling and scribbling with permanent gel pens.

The Visitor in Purgatory

The Visitor in Purgatory

I entered, rooms were full of sobbing tears from people’s eyes; there were too many people to count no children; they went straight to heaven. Gates and gardens to plant flowers in which to sow the seeds we should have been sowing on Earth; I forgot to sow. Shovels, buckets, seeds, planters, pots, hats, soil, [...]

Dare To Believe

Dare To Believe

“Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established, believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.” II Chronicles 20:20 Dare to believe God’s presence is in all that we see.  In majestic mountain tops, gentle flowing streams and still ponds glistening in the twilight of dawn.  Spectacular sunrises and breathtaking sunsets; dare to believe God [...]

Just as Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung knew so long ago, “…language was not always adequate to express what we’re feeling but often, our hands know how to solve a problem with which the intellect struggles in vain.” When it comes to expressing ourselves creatively, there is nothing more exciting than repurposing old books, tools, [...]

Feng Shui: Entrance Foyer Design Dos & Donts

Feng Shui: Entrance Foyer Design Dos & Donts

Your entrance starts right outside your door. Look at the environment surrounding your door and ensure your home entrance is clearly defined, well lit and inviting. Watch out for big trees, utility posts or roads coming right at your door. Those send negative energies to your home. You also ideally don’t want to be located [...]

Are You Blooming Where You’re Planted?

Are You Blooming Where You’re Planted?

“He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much” (Luke 16:10, NASB). I was a brand new Christian when I first heard the saying, “Bloom where you’re planted; maybe God will move you to a bigger pot.” I smiled at the imagery but really didn’t get it. Now, nearly forty [...]

Stars, Life and Signs

Stars, Life and Signs

Taurus isn’t necessarily like a Bull in a ring with a toreador. You could be more like peace-loving Ferdinand, seeking the gentle meadows filled with flowers, sunshine and natural beauty. It’s only Taurus stubbornness that can make you angry enough to charge at someone who is disturbing your peace.Taurus are noted for your determination. You [...]

Laughing At Death

Laughing At Death

A famous comedian once said that, “Life is a sexually transmitted terminal disease.” And as far as I know, it still happens to ten out of ten of us. So, is it OK to laugh about this solemn reality? Is it OK to poke a little fun at the Grim Reaper and not offend or [...]
