If you have been following me this month, you know I have been writing about process as an incentive for getting unstuck. If you haven’t been following me, I don’t blame you. It really doesn’t matter if anyone reads this because the most important thing is—I must write this! However, if you are sticking like …
It’s late on the first Thursday in May. Do you know what this day is officially? It’s the National Day of Prayer. Today is the 64th annual celebration of this event. It began with the Continental Congress in 1775 praying for this infant country. It was reaffirmed in 1863 by President Lincoln. Truman, Reagan and …
If you read the previous post, you may remember that I left you knee deep in Burton, Nebraska. So what? The last time we visited Burton the population sign read “9” so you can imagine how surprised I was when this man told me his wife was from Burton! In 1992, the Burton commercial district looked …
Rather than drive to Vantage, WA for the day, we hooked up our trailer on Friday planning to return on Monday. While our intention was to attend the James Nesbit Whirlwind Tour PNW on Saturday, our tidy little Escape allowed for a long weekend of worship, hiking, photography and, of course, camping. Saturday evening we chased the setting sun and the rising moon. …
Saturday found us at The Pavilion in Vantage with a throng of radical people of faith. Led by artist and musician, James Nesbit, we entered into worship of the King of Kings in a fresh new way. The sound while bold, was not prescribed or pre-written but on the spot released for this moment and this …
Last week I spent few days in San Francisco with an old friend. Of course, we visited Golden Gate Park. I was in search of a lone tree to photograph. I am always in search of that lone tree. The best I could do was this tree. We called it the “Z tree.” I took this …
May 1, 2015. I promised myself and any readers who care to join me that I would blog for 30 days during May on process. We all get excited about products, but as Austin Kleon writes, involve people in your process. Let them see your mess. You’ve got to be kidding. I’m the girl who rushes through …
I thought I would be on an airplane to San Francisco at this very moment. That was until I tried printing my boarding pass last night. I discovered I am not going today. I’m booked for Friday. Today is a FREE DAY. It’s a “get out of jail free card.” I about freaked out. What would …
At 2:37 this morning I pushed ‘purchase.’ Why would anyone purchase a Catholic priest’s theology of beauty in the middle of a night when sleep evades her? Here’s why. Yesterday happened. Yesterday, I was overstimulated by beauty! I know. Crazy ! How? It’s a God-thing! Let me tell you about yesterday. Early in the day, I reread passages from Phil …
On Friday the 13th of February, our family hiked in the North Cascade Mountains of Washington State. Now that might not sound so far-fetched to some of you, but to those of us who frequent these parts, beginning a hike at 3000+ feet elevation in mid-February is highly unusual! During normal February’s, we would snow-shoe …
