Solstice~Peace
December 22, 2008
Tonight we talked about the message of peace the angel's declared to the shepherds as we lit our 4th advent candle. I'm thinking our advent calendar might be mixed up and today was really supposed to be joy or something but peace suited the day. A morning's winter walk to ...
FIMBY Finds on a Cold, Dark Night
December 21, 2008
Yikes, is it as cold where you are as it is here? We're expecting another snowstorm tomorrow - yipee. This time of year I love snow. I change my tune come March but in December I say "bring it on baby". I recall saying I would post FIMBY finds on ...

Unexpected gifts & lessons
December 15, 2008
I hadn't expected... to connect mother to mother (about what else, our children's education) with a woman of different culture, race and religion. to download and discover photo after photo of beautiful families, whose eyes reflected a flame, never mind spark, of the Divine. to be creatively energized at the ...
