I have a gift of writing. A gift. It’s a gift. It was given to me by my Creator. The one who made me, created me, caused me to exist. It’s a purposeful gift. Not random or arbitrary. It was given on purpose for a reason. I can see God giving us the gifts. BestowingContinue reading “Bestowed”

Little Encouragements
It’s 5:30am. I woke up from a bad dream about an hour ago, couldn’t sleep. So, instead of lying in bed, decided to get up and start the day. I’ve been listening to the Thriving Christian Artist podcast on my way to work the past week or two. I don’t really consider myself a ‘podcastContinue reading “Little Encouragements”
The Heart of My Sojourn
‘Therefore we do not lose heart…’ It’s hard to do something, anything, if you don’t have the heart for it. I was talking to a friend the other day via Messenger and I said I was struggling with my job. She asked more about that and so I told her a bit and ended with,Continue reading “The Heart of My Sojourn”
Sharing
I said that I wanted to be noticed. That I do all these things in order to be noticed. On one hand, yes. I do these things because I want people to notice me. I felt my Noticed blog (See links above) was me being very real and honest with myself with where I wasContinue reading “Sharing”
I’d Rather Be…
I want to be noticed. I don’t want to be noticed. I am a maker. A craftsperson. An artist. A writer. A dreamer. I just….I can’t maniulate my life to make it how ‘I’ want it to be. I can’t. It’s stupid to even try. And yet, I want to walk in what the LordContinue reading “I’d Rather Be…”
Taking Out the Question Marks
Every month, for my business, I do what I call a ‘Biz Outline’. It’s basically editing a doc where I reassess my goals for the coming month and year. This has helped me SO MUCH the past four years since I started my biz to keep me on track with what I’m doing and whereContinue reading “Taking Out the Question Marks”
It Matters
On Friday, January 8, 2021, driving home about midnight from my parents house after being with family grieving the sudden loss of my dad, I was talking to my husband. I had given my dad two shirts for Christmas. He had Parkinson’s and so buttoning his shirts was getting harder and harder for him. SeveralContinue reading “It Matters”
The Hard Work
“In many ways daydreaming is one of the core prerequisites for writing. The trick of course, is to get past the daydreaming phase and actually do something with all that idle musing. Ideas by themselves are merely a raw material, and it is not enough just to have ideas. You have to work to turnContinue reading “The Hard Work”
Sudden Ideas
During my recent quarantine I got a lot of reading done, including some easy-to-read childhood favorites. One of those books was ‘Ramona Quimby, Age 8’ by Beverly Cleary. I’ve always been a big fan of Cleary’s simple, engaging and down-to-earth style and I found the Ramona books were as much enjoyable now as when IContinue reading “Sudden Ideas”
Noticed
Do we do what we do to in order to be noticed? Do I post on IG/FB in order to be noticed? Do I have a creative biz in order to be noticed? Do I have an Etsy acct in order to be noticed? Do I write a blog in order to be noticed? IContinue reading “Noticed”
