My birthday is this week. Sometimes it comes and goes and I don’t think much about it but this year I have been thinking. I’ve been thinking that I want to make sure that every day counts. So I’ve come up with a plan and I wanted to share it with you. Every Day […]
I’ve been working on my resume again. And what a crazy resume it is! It is full of so many diverse experiences that I’m very sure it often gets tossed as soon as it comes in to a potential publisher or employer. There is no box or file that it fits comfortably in. I’ve wrestled […]
I know that creativity requires energy so I’m wondering; Do I need to store up energy to be more creative? When I blog does it drip creative energy out of me like a leaky faucet? Do I need to hold back on my blog and my painting for a bit until the pressure becomes so […]
There is no one that can see the secret things in my heart, the longings, the joys, the regrets, the acceptance, the pain, the peace. And even I can only see glimpses, when I am brave enough to look. But God sees all of it and He loves me deeply, completely, unconditionally. He doesn’t love […]
I have the coolest app on my phone. I can look at it any time and see how many people read my blog that day. I can see all kinds of other stats too like which posts are the most popular and what search words bring the most people to the blog. Today’s post is in […]

In my October 15, 2007 blog I talked about learning how to ride the waves of life challenges instead of kicking against them. And I am learning that the first step in doing this is to accept where I am. I have to be willing to look at the…

Life is full of wave after wave of challenges. Some splash against us. Some crash against us, and some threaten to sweep us away like giant tsunamis. We can kick and struggle, doing our best not to go under, or we can lie on our backs and…float. Floating is…

This daily prayer is the result of my research as well as the thoughts of friends and family. It is taken from the “Armor of God” passage in Ephesians. Dear Lord, Make me alert to the warfare around me. Help me discern what is good and what is evil. Bless me this morning…
For many years now on and off since college I have had the privilege of being a Sign Language interpreter. I have had the opportunity to interpret for the birth of a child, for job training, for funerals and for two years in the public schools. There are slightly varying philosophies on exactly what an interpreter’s job […]
When we brought our first born, Caleb, home from the hospital he slept in a bassinet right next to our bed. The first night I slept with my hand on his back and woke to every baby gurgle and and mew. After about three weeks we moved the bassinet to the hallway. Then about a month later we […]
After writing my last blog, A Cup of Kindness, I have been trying to be a little more aware of chances to love Christ by loving others, and yesterday an interesting thing happened. It was an unusually hot May day so when I loaded up my car to run errands I filled my water container with my […]
My special needs son, Daniel, lived at home with us till just after his 22nd birthday. He was 22 physically but mentally about the age of one. That meant that he was still in diapers and we still spoon fed him all his meals and snacks. I love Daniel so much. He is one of […]
Walk into any Hallmark store and what do you see? Aisles of cards ….and shelves of collectables. Shelves of things that have no other purpose than to look nice in someone’s home. Now don’t get me wrong, as an artist I value beauty, and as is obvious this spring in Upstate South Carolina, so does […]
When something terrible has happened to you how do you continue to trust God? The sermon at church yesterday was about the second chapter of Ruth. When I woke up this morning Ruth and her choice to stay with Naomi was on my mind. Her famous words: “Where you go I will go, and where […]
