She was the sweetest soul I knew, and taught me so much about how to be gentle, kind, loving, and about the importance of quiet space. She was sent … Continue reading Kingdom Profession
Last night I overheard someone I know say to her mom “I am glad for this time.” I was speaking to her on her other line, and she told me to hold, while she spoke briefly with her mother. In a sense, I can relate. I am not happy people are dying, I am not … Continue reading Heart Rising

I’ve competed all the decorations for the Christmas season. Cookie plates for my neighbors have been chosen and recipes are abundant. Currently, I am making apple butter for one of my kind neighbors who brought over Fisherman’s Stew a few weeks ago.
