Yet again, the God of Redemption transforms my failure into success. Two days ago I worked up a macrame piece and did not start with near enough cord. I was forced to cut the entire piece way shorter than planned and tried making the best of it by fraying the ends, hoping that would help … Continue reading Serenity – Be Anxious for Nothing – My New Adventure
Should Mothers Consume the Placenta After Birth?
It's been years since I blogged about a health topic and I honestly thought those days were over, but... here I am. I originally planned to make this a Facebook post just to share with my friends, but I had too many links and too much to say, so I figured I'd make it a … Continue reading Should Mothers Consume the Placenta After Birth?
A Bookshelf that Inspires Joy: Using the KonMari Method to decide what books to keep
There was once a time when I collected books. I picked up books for cheap at library sales all the time and there was something about having a ton of books that appealed to me, whether or not I ever read them.

Wrestling with Tradition: Lessons from Fiddler on the Roof
I recently watched Fiddler on the Roof again for the first time in many years. There is so much about this movie that truly moves me, and I was always one lump in the throat away from a sob for this recent viewing. While I've always had a great interest in the story, it's themes … Continue reading Wrestling with Tradition: Lessons from Fiddler on the Roof
Life is Risk
This summer I've been doing a lot of gardening. I've bought lots of flowers and planted lots of seeds, and not all of these flowers and seeds have made it. Some seeds spring up easily, while others refuse to sprout. Children and animals have knocked over some of my planters, losing soil and seed. Our … Continue reading Life is Risk

They say it's all a matter of perspective. But the pain has left me blind and I cannot see the other side anymore.
Jealousy inhibits growth
My new creative obsession is macrame. I've finally decided to get serious about this artform and I just completed my first "real" piece this past week. In the last year or so, I've begun to view my artwork as not just something pretty to look at and experience, but as also expressing spiritual principles or … Continue reading Jealousy inhibits growth
How banana pudding taught me that I am never alone
I recently stumbled into the Enneagram personality typing system and it's been incredibly eye-opening for me.

I was recalling the recent "banana pudding" synchronicity. About a week … Continue reading How banana pudding taught me that I am never alone
