Today’s word is “rest.” How can we slow down enough to let it go and put work aside to be present? I had to make a choice to do this. To not keep checking work emails and worrying about all the things undone. Our place has a porch and deck. We would sit outside and…

Summer 2024 Day 3 “Wonder”
Today is July 1, 2024! Oak Island Beach Day! Although we awoke with a storm, the rain cleared just in time for the festivities! I enjoyed an early morning walk to see my favorite flowers and homes. I especially love the church that has been converted into a dwelling place for a family. Beach day…
Summer Vacation 2024 Day 2 “Laugh”
I noticed that last year, I took a yoga class at Rebel Soul Yoga on Sunday! It’s good to start the week with centering, prayer, and healing the body. The instructor discussed the importance of smiling, laughing, and knowing that your true self is filled with joy and kindness. Parish and I rode our bikes…
2024 Summer Vacation Day 1 “Together”
This week of June 29 – July 6, we are in Oak Island (The Lambs) and Southport, NC (Parish, Anna, and Valentina). I’ve decided to share our memories through one word each day. The first night together brought joyful laughter as we ate pizza at the Southport house. We both set up our homes, then…
Great Works
Audio link. I had the blessing of walking the Virginia Tech campus this week. I got up early to walk and listen to my “Pray as You Go” meditation app. After a troubled night’s sleep, the sunrise and the walk did my soul well. The question posed was, “What great works is God calling you…
Moments in moments
(Link to the audio version.) Sometimes, life can get so big that your moments are unnoticeable. I’m not going to talk about how busy we are because that is a given, and somehow, we say it so much it has become our mantra. When we have various roles, and maybe some of those roles have…
1st Annual Wisteria Festival
This year, we had a bumper crop of Wisteria on the pergola. We purchased the Wisteria about 19 years ago and replanted it when we completed renovations. The replanting challenged its growth; some years brought more blooms than others. This year, we started an annual festival to celebrate nature, God’s world, and our home. Parish…
Come Have Breakfast
(Audio reading of the poem on Purposeful Pauses) Come have breakfast with me Although you are busy and filled with grief Come have breakfast with me Spring forth, leap and see You find yourself in a tangled mire I have prepared the coals and the fire You did not notice me right away It takes…
Your Joy May Be Complete
“What is joy?” is a question that inspires us to seek its true meaning. On Saturday, March 30, my grandson had his 4th birthday party at our home. All the planning, games, and little ones running around brought connection and joy. That night, we decided to watch “The Gospel of John.” The movie displays the…
If loving only gave us the beautiful
I have not been writing on my blog lately due to other writing goals outside WordPress. It is a year-long project, and I’m enjoying my time learning and writing. It has been months of connections and unbelievable God moments. Love does that. I got a message from my oldest daughter that she had stopped for…
