Day 21 In Search of my Blogging Identity “Women of Wisdom Arise”

"I am but a vessel... on a good day...of what heaven speaks…truth integrated into life…but on a bad day… Do you believe we can be like a pitcher pouring inspiring words for thirsty souls?

"I have a gift hidden in heart for you. Fine words carefully selected and crafted into a message…that you might smile again!"           I don't know about you, but I often need a word of encouragement in order to smile again.

Day 19 In Search of my Blogging Identity “What Inspires You?”

The thought just occurred to me that I wonder what inspires my blog readers. Where do you go for encouragement? Have you any thoughts on the subject?   Life is far too difficult and dreary to go it alone. We need words spoken by caring souls to find meaning beyond the mundane.   So feel the …

Day 18 In Search of my Blogging Identity “Finding Kindred Spirits”

Day 10 In Search of my Blogging Identity-“Awakenings”

"Life is like a series of awakenings from birth until death."            Contemplation is essential for the human soul and yet modern living does not easily lend to this practice. The temptation to stay continually "connected" leaves little time for reflection. Without reflection, one activity blurs into another.        Awakening... sudden awareness, recognition, or realization …

Day 9 In Search of my Blogging Identity-“Stepping Out”

"If we step out into the light with all of our insecurities still hidden… who can penetrate such darkness?"        These words floated through my mind as I drifted off to sleep.
