I have wakened, as I do every morning, to the blissful sounds of a quiet house. Of a coffee pot gurgling. A fridge humming. A clock ticking.

Transformative Drawing
I'm not certain I can articulate this well... But there's something about drawing one's life which transforms that life.

A Big Day!
Today we take our oldest child to college. A small truck and a van are packed full of her things. And I'm wondering if it will all fit into her dorm room at Wingate! A host of emotions have been flurrying around our house and in my heart lately. But this morning, I'm thankful. Thankful … Continue reading A Big Day!
Sometimes I Just Wanna…
...step off the beaten path, sit down, and think. Or rest. Or just gaze at it all. Don't you?
The Dreaming Tree
