Yesterday’s transparency brought a quick response. I doubted that anyone was reading about process anymore. You, my dear readers, from far away Australia and nearby Everett, surprised me! Thank you. Today, I will show more than tell. The calla lilies in my garden are more beautiful now than ever in the fifteen years or so …
I need wisdom. I have come to the conclusion that with all this blogging I am simply circling the process but never digging in. You still have no clue where I am going or what my product may be or what it will look like. I wonder if I do. I am like the owl that …
For the last twelve days I have been writing about process. I imagine that I am the only person who has read all twelve. It’s okay. Process is rather like the old dust mop that you bang against the side of the house and the dog hair flies. It is disgusting. It is also non-negotiable. …
Happy Mother’s Day! My Mother is having a great day today! She is with her mother. Jesus’ mother is also close by. The largest gathering of Mothers today is on the other side. Glory Be! They ran the race and won! From the balconies of heaven they are leaning over to cheer us on! We are …
Today we lived fluid. In her book, Journeyartfully: Secrets for Living an Artful Life, Pattie Ann Hale writes about “catching a whim” like a snowflake on your tongue and taking off on an adventure.

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.

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 …
