My writer’s voice and spirit are tucked way back in my subconscious. It’s crazy how long it’s been since I’ve written a blog. To say I’ll “be right back” is expressed in indefinitely, but with great certainty. I’ve been studied the Word about having hoping unswervingly. Believing and knowing that what God has promised; the…
Art on the Tracks
A foggy morning; the perfect backdrop for art. My senses were dancing in my seat. My 8:10 train to Grand Central was a joy ride along the Hudson.
Straight Down the Middle
I haven’t written in a long time. I have no words. God is doing something else. I see Him; I feel Him. I sincerely believe there are times in life when He lets us see and feel Him more. This is one of those times. As if He’s one of those cool driving instructors that…
Her Vineyard
A woman makes a home. And home becomes her. From home, a legacy begins. She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. Proverbs 31:16 A woman plants a home and pours her entire being into it. We are her vineyard, vines, watered with her prayers, faith and living…
Packing Away 2020
Packing away the Christmas decorations is always hard for me. It’s like when a great dance party ends and the lights come on. The DJ says, “you don’t have to go home, but you have to get out of here.” It hits everyone like a cold slap back to reality. Packaging away all of the…
Page Turner
Watching my young adult kids approach turning points in their personal relationships, passion talents and professional careers, is like reading a book where I can’t seem to turn the pages fast enough. There are so many wheels in motion simultaneously. Sometimes I can sense the gears are getting ready to shift and all I can…
The Pandemic Pivot
It’s sort or like playing a twister, except there is no dial to spend. You literally have to make it up as you go. What does your pivot look like? It’s different for each of us? Mine is filled with inexplicable grace. And it’s not that things are perfect. So much is actually fucked. Except,…
This Christmas
There’s always, almost always, a moment in the Christmas holiday season when it feels like the clock will run out before we can deck the halls. The outdoor holiday lights are happening. I’m sitting here looking a pumpkin and a poinsettia on our dining room table. Our back porch looks like a wood restorer’s workshop…
He is in Me
I have to relax my mind, so my inner spirit can have its way. I have to stop thinking that life is a mind game. And let God have His way. I see it in the art that my kids create. I watch them yield to their creative nature. It’s sort of like clearing the…
Late November
I found myself saying “late November” all day today. It felt like a reality check. Late November — that moment in time where the leaves are gone, Thanksgiving is over, Christmas magic is a twinkle away, and we’re facing the last chapter of the year. Today’s sky went from sunny, to cloudy, to sunny with…
