Listening to a pod cast this week, and a phrase stuck out to me. Integrity is not perfection, it is authenticity.

I want to share my vision with you, my reading family and fellowship group.

A refrain has been rolling through my head for a couple days..."...the wind … Continue reading Tuesday calm
It has been mostly cloudy with some rain. Hardly any blooms left for me to bring in and put on my table to enjoy. The sun does not shine on them long enough for them to really open properly, so my flowers stay closed up in tight little balls, waiting for enough warmth to open, … Continue reading Willingness and warmth
