I am participating in a Gratitude Writing Challenge this month. I love creativity! Mine and other people's. I love having an idea of how something should or could look and then making it happen by cutting and gluing things together and moving and painting and tying. I love dreaming up people who wouldn't otherwise exist and … Continue reading Creativity

What Dreams Are Made Of
This morning I listened to a sermon on my favorite passage in the whole bible, Ephesians 3:14-21. It’s so good, so here it comes. For this reason I bow my knees before my Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of His glory He may … Continue reading What Dreams Are Made Of
Remember
Don’t you just love social media? I love it. I love videos of dogs and cats doing funny things and I love getting able to read funny Tumblr highlights on Facebook (there’s a Facebook group… or two) without actually having to go into the black hole, time suck that is Tumblr. Most of all, I … Continue reading Remember

I'm really good at being excited for people (and also … Continue reading Here’s the thing about the big green monster

Every day always TO DO
A couple of years ago my friend got me one of those Smash books - a little notebook full of pictures and words intended to inspire the artistic soul. I've never used it because I've never felt like anything of mine would be good enough or pretty enough to put in it, but then lately … Continue reading Every day always TO DO

Happy New Year!! This post is a day late because yesterday I was busying sitting in airports for 100 hours. After a super chill day of traveling I made it back to the DR! To a laundry room that looked like an episode of animal hoarders. Such is life. Articles/blog posts: When Baby Jesus Gets … Continue reading Check this out!
