Gardening Tips
My hope is for all to receive sanctuary and encouragement, including hospitality venues and ideas, conversational meditations, and organic gardening tips. Topics will range from the deeply personal to the light and entertaining, but all with the purpose of uplifting you while encouraging you to think deeply.
The Art of Listening
During this holiday season, we fret about how to ensure that our guests feel welcome, feel like they belong in our living rooms. How about we whittle this stressor down to one action plan; intentional listening to make sure that all who cross our threshold are being heard?
Pumpkin, Love it or Leave it!
We seem to all have a love/hate relationship with pumpkin. I am the official pie maker for our family gatherings since my mom passed. No one could ever compete with her pie making skills, but I try to pass on that piece of her legacy each year.

In counting my blessings this week, at the top of my list is my husband. Twenty years ago, before I had reconnected with Tim (we were childhood playmates), and after my divorce, I wrote some words describing what I longed for in a partner.
