A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and a richness to life that nothing else can bring.” ― Oscar Wilde Wealth is a word that crops up often, along with good fortune. As a Christian I really do not believe in luck and I believe wealth is not necessarily money at all. I am wealthy with family and love and blessed with many gifts.  In the same breath I know that I have to feel worthy to receive God's gifts and

I am lo

Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession...Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.” ― Dietrich Bonhoeffer This is the Bible verse that is attached to this piece. I still own the original and have not ever wanted to sell it.  It is watercolor and one of my favorite paintings. The hand model was my husband!  Our youngest grandson will be baptised in the church his parents gr

Mike Tudor... this is for you!  I hope it brings a smile this year as you use it.   I said I would make it through the 12 days of Christmas before sharing.  Our extended family that was living with us has moved to a ne

The more you worship, the less you worry. You'll feel more patient and less pressured.” ― Rick Warren, The Purpose of Christmas Day Eleven is here... most of you will have taken down your trees and packed away the festive lights and warmth of Christmas.  How will you keep that warmth alive in your heart and lives for the next 11 months before you unpack it again?  Spend more time with God.  He will fill you with not just love but with the spirit needed to keep this peace and joy part

I slept in this morning again and almost missed the 10 am deadline. Pulled a name quickly... and it sounded familiar so I looked and he is a beautiful photographer. Thom Ciulla.  His website is: http://www.thomciullaphotography.com/  and wow oh wow does he have the spirit. I am honored that Thom follows my newsletter!   It was a second glance that caught me... I use to call my studio "In Perspective Studio" and on his about me page..." A Matter of Perspective" and t

But it warmed more than your body. It warmed your heart...filled it, too, with melody that would last forever.” ― Bess Streeter Aldrich, Song of Years GOOD! Today is another bag. I love my bags.  I use them for so many things.  We have shopped at Whole Foods for 25 years and always used cloth bags as well as cotton net bags for produce.  So it helps the environment for me to share a bag! This 2016 beauty goes to Karen Gauriloff.  I do not know Karen, but again, I look forward to havi

There has to be at least one day of the year to remind us that we're here for something else besides ourselves.” ― Eric Sevareid I peaked early. I pulled today's name last night. I wanted to sleep in this morning.  Eric Guy... are you awake yet? Email coming your way. This 2016 Spirit of the Paint mug should give you a pencil holder or a coffee holder!  My husband would use it for Coffee... me... it would have pencils or paint brushes in it for storage.   Eric is another new sign up this year on my newsletter. Thank you so much for your support.
