Word of the Year – Good Expectations for 2015
This past week it was so appropriate that I received an early copy of Jewelry Affaire that contained an article and necklace tutorial on my word of the year for 2014. 2014 was a year of sadness, uncertainty, and challenge filled with some times of joy, accomplishment and celebration as well. My word of 2014 was TRUST and I created a necklace to remind me of just that. My word for 2015 is COURAGE and my verse, “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men (and women) of courage; be strong.” ~ 1 Corinthians 16:13. I enjoy creating something as a reminder throughout the year of my word and goal. I want…

Meaningful Soul Words – Part 1
As we approach the new year . . . I can’t believe it . . . 2015, I thought this so appropriate. I have some other fun things to share as well on the horizon including a book that my husband and daughter gifted me for Christmas having to do with art and prayer. Love it. I recently ran across some information I thought was so good when dealing with emotions. Finishing up this last year, we do some reflecting – some of us had a great year and others are happy to put it in the past. With the new year brings a clean slate, a new beginning and possibilities.…

Warmest Christmas Wishes
I wanted to send you warm Christmas wishes on this Christmas Eve. I know personally that the month of December isn’t always ribbons and bows, sweet sugar plum dreams and so forth. Sometimes we experience loss or hardship. Maybe you’re missing someone around the Christmas table. If that is the case, I hope and pray that memories of their life bring joy and warmth. No matter what life has brought in 2014, Christmas is a time that represents hope. May we know that hope and peace and experience the blessings around us with a grateful heart. Some precious gifts that come to mind this Christmas are life, family, freedom and loved ones. We celebrated…

Boutique for a Cause
tis’ the season. I hope all had a lovely Thanksgiving. I did although I have been struggling with a bug. But I’ve been trying to push through it and I’m gearing up for a boutique that will be held at Voyager’s Church in Irvine on Saturday the 6th. It will be a wonderful day of inspiration both while singing some carols and listening to a funny, lighthearted speaker. I’m hoping I may be able to raise some funds so that our sweet girl can participate in a trip to Washington D.C., where her chorale group will compete as well as a trip to Costa Rica ~ she was chosen by…

Fall Back (and Falling Forward)
Tomorrow is November 1st and time for most Americans to turn back our clocks tonight. We gain an hour of sleep. I have been thinking about falling back and falling forward in a different sense. I started thinking about when we fall back . . . when the bottom of things falls out as we know them; when things are turned so upside down we don’t know which way is up; when something so shocking slaps you down and you are completely stunned as you never saw it coming; when your heart is so broken you don’t know if you can find all the pieces. This is the time to fall forward…
