Yesterday I received news that a friend passed away. I made a list in my mind of all I have lost since 2019. TEN! I haven’t even found peace with my sisters’ death in 2020, it’s been a hole in my heart. Now add another to the grief-bag and I just feel like it’s tooContinue reading “When It’s Too Much”

Pieces of Discernment
Oftentimes we are given a scripture or thought to spend time figuring out. Maybe it was easily understandable — but other times, we can’t make heads or tails over the meaning, or if it’s even a message for US. This is when spiritual discernment steps in. Find a trusted advisor, someone who is spiritually sound,Continue reading “Pieces of Discernment”
Holy Week Pieces
This is the week of great miracle. Jesus rode a donkey through Jerusalem to his final death. Parts of the journey were lovely, palm branches waved in the air, coats laid on the ground, our version of a red carpet. Hallelujahs shouted, prayers said, celebrations made.

Pieces from my childhood
I have been inspired by this book; since it sat on the nightstand table of my mother’s side of the bed since I was a little girl. I used to hold the book in my hand, flip through the pages, look at the various drawings of seashells and wonder why it was so important toContinue reading “Pieces from my childhood”
