Friday reads
As a reading specialist my Friday practice is to share new reads with students and staff. Loving to read is a gift as books are magical, they take us to beautiful places, teach, heal and restore. After attending the Wisconsin State Reading Convention I was inspired to share with you. So from my desk toContinue reading “Friday reads”
Listening quest
Initially I thought I would embark on this quest, post everyday… life is lifey, full and beautiful. I have my listening moments, devotions at 4:30 am on weekdays, do yoga, run with Gussy, shower and leave for work. At end of day all I want is to walk Gussy, eat or go to dinner andContinue reading “Listening quest”
Listening to God quest; Day 2
I awakened at 3:30 praying, dreaming of a prayer meeting. Flowing between conciousnsess and dream world. I saw a heavenly host poised, ready to battle. Prayer warriors gathered together in one accord. In anticipation of my time with Jesus I got out of bed, 3:40. Made my coffee, ate breakfast. They only utterances from myContinue reading “Listening to God quest; Day 2”

Walking through the airports, flying in planes, there is something magical about it. Whether in an aisle seat or by the window,Continue reading “In the clouds…”

Anchored
Making sense of my world I often draw in my journal. These are a series of entrys over the past few weeks. The top is today’s. It is a series of hearts. Yes, this may be avoidance behavior as I need to work on dissertation revisions. Life is lifey right now. While calm resides inContinue reading “Anchored”
