As I strolled past the large box in the garage our eyes met. I stopped in my tracks and said, “You shall be mine and I shall call you Abigail.” That was our beginning. She sat quietly amidst the rest of the litter as they…

Heavenly Royalty…
Saturday morning. It’s early and my emotions are high. I’m not really sure why. I’m at the end of my 28 day commitment to better health. Now I have to decide if I am worth continuing or will I go back to my old ways. Yes, you read that correctly – “if I am worth…

As I continue down this path to better health, I’m learning more and more about myself each day. Today I ventured out on another walk by myself. I’m rather enjoying these solo treks as they give me time to breathe, process, let go, pray and just BE. I decided to head to the high school…

The angel Gabriel delicately hung inside the fireplace from the dampner. It was a treat to set up and then spend hours watching and admiring. My…

Changing Seasons…
The temperature and the leaves have fallen. The trees are bare. The ground is frozen and covered with the last of the leaves. Most of them are not even ours. They have blown from across the way… from the oak trees. Today is the day to get the last of them up and gone. The…

For Everything There is a Season…
Seasons come and seasons go. Some seem to last forever and some seem to be gone overnight. Some are dictated by the calendar and others by the events in our lives. Today marks the first day of autumn… my favorite season. While is it just a date on the calendar, it feels different. The trees…
