I signed up for Fodder School. What school? Until very recently I don’t thik the word ‘fodder’ was really in my vocabulary, at least not my art vocabulary. But, thanks to the internet and the Instagram world, it is. Stumbling upon an IG account that I happened to like the look of, liking leads toContinue reading “Reasons”

Art as Self-Care
I was talking to someone yesterday about how I sometimes, often times, struggle to find time to pursue my art and creative interests. With all my other activities (Part-time job, house, husband, family events, volunteer work, small biz), it can be difficult to set aside time to work on things that I really WANT toContinue reading “Art as Self-Care”
Expressing God’s Heart
In the preface of Andrew Peterson’s book ‘Adorning the Dark’ he quotes George MacDonald: ‘As the fir-tree lifts up itself with a far different need from the need of the palm-tree, so does each man stand before God, and lift up a different humanity to the common Father. And for each God has a differentContinue reading “Expressing God’s Heart”
In the Works
I’ve decided, for now, to expand this blog (Or, my website). It’s in the works. I’m working on it slowly. Very slowly. But it’s coming together bit by bit. When I started this blog, as I mentioned in this post, I had no plans for what it was to be. And to a point IContinue reading “In the Works”
Many Gifts
In this post I talked about how God has given each of us a gift. A purposeful gift for us to use for His pleasure (And ours!) and His glory. However, the Lord has not just given each one of us just one gift, but multiple. I am a writer AND a dancer. I amContinue reading “Many Gifts”
Sounding Board
I had coffee with a friend this morning. My friend is a creative type with lots of idea. Kind of like me, haha. Over lunch a couple months ago, she mentioned she had an idea to write and create mystery parties. She would develop the story lines, then, as a side hustle, would offer toContinue reading “Sounding Board”
What the Father Does
Jesus only did what He saw His Father do. “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.” (John 5:19) Jesus only sought and did the will of the Father. ‘…I do notContinue reading “What the Father Does”
Bestowed
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”
Purposefulness
Purpose. Purposeful. Intentional. Specific. The last few days I feel like God has been highlighting Purpose. Yesterday someone asked me to describe God in one word and I said, ‘Purposeful’. Because He is. He created the earth on purpose. He created me on purpose. He came to earth on purpose. Died…on purpose. Rose from theContinue reading “Purposefulness”
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”
