Speaker. Storyteller. Coach.
All four wheels have fallen off my car. In the last 19 weeks, I have written only 6 blogs, after nearly two years of regularly weekly postings. How did this happen? Because I have gotten so consumed in my book project that I have abandoned important creative, domestic, and spiritual routines that help keep my world in balance. If Jesus himself had come into my studio a couple of weeks ago, I’m certain I would have said “Sorry, buddy, can’t talk. On a deadline.”
“Nobody sees a flower — really — it is so small it takes time — we haven’t time — and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.” — Georgia O’Keefe
“My mother said to me, ‘If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.’ Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso.” — Pablo Picasso
I spent this past week in bed recovering from root canal from hell (just so you know, gritting your teeth is VERY bad for you). Blog post to follow at some point, using said root canal as metaphor. In the meantime, a blog rewind — one of my favorites. Here’s to your good dental health and a relaxed lower jaw!

If you have not yet seen this video on starling murmurations (which I think is my new favorite word), you are in for an amazing 4 minutes. Birdwatching husband Eric had shown me similar images, but my friend Ted just sent me this link saying, “…you will be blown away. I think you will be particularly uplifted by the soul-based exuberance of the narrator.” He was right. Enjoy!
