Reflection of Me

It is my belief that plants were gifted to us as message of love from God. When you don’t know what to get me – get me plants. These were all gifted to me at some point, primarily by my students. It tells me that they hear me. This morning I glanced at the ‘lady’Continue reading “Reflection of Me”

My Way

About that night: I danced in the lights and the flurries of the fake snow. It was my birthday and I wanted to do something different. So often the child in us goes to sleep as we start adulting. Two weeks ago on my birthday night I toured a beautiful garden that was transformed withContinue reading “My Way”

Just As I am

Today while doing some hated chores, I reflected on some of my oddities or idiosyncrasies. The peculiarities that make us unique. The things that make people love us or leave us. I can’t explain mine away. I smiled for a minute. At this season in my life, some things won’t change. I’ll always wash myContinue reading “Just As I am”

Move With Me

Sometimes I feel like walking until I reach the ‘end of me’. When the noise gets too much in my head. The thoughts swirl around like a tornado on a war path – I walk. As nature sings of God’s goodness, I too am led to join in the chorus. The movement of my limbsContinue reading “Move With Me”

Another Day in Waiting

This is sunset in my native country. The day is drawing to an end. Sometimes when things approach their end, we can relax, reflect, and enjoy all that was accomplished. Other times the end brings a lingering sense of disenchantment and disappointment. As the year slows to an end, many are restless with dreams orContinue reading “Another Day in Waiting”

A Reminder in the Pain

If you live long enough, you discover there’s much truth behind the well-known saying, ‘Life is like a cactus- prickly yet beautiful’. Behind the backdrop of this beautiful lakefront scene are stories of pain, loss and brokenness. Lives that may have seen better days. Possibly held captive by their own vices or unseen forces thatContinue reading “A Reminder in the Pain”

Only You

T’was the night before Thanksgiving and many are about to curl up in bed. Some of us are busy making last minute preparations to welcome those we’ve loved from afar and near through the years. It’s a joyful time for many and a difficult time for some. I don’t know the emotions you are sittingContinue reading “Only You”

Beautifully Clothed

Somewhere after I turned 45, comfort became the reason behind my choice of clothing. While I loved looking cute and all dolled-up, I was over uncomfortable clothing. My body parts had suffered enough including my feet. Today, I love anything that hugs me beautifully and reflects the kind of girl I am. Beyond the garbContinue reading “Beautifully Clothed”
