The Price of Busy

I am writing this as I sit in a hospice in-patient room with my dear friend who can no longer tell me her stories to fill in the blank pages in her Life Story photobook. She started it when she took my Life Story course — I was cheering her on. She recorded some of

Your Body’s Glue

Glue?  Seriously?  Yes, I have done a few blogs on this topic and it is time to revisit (and remind ourselves about) our all-important “glue” – collagen. You hear a lot more about it these days than even 3 years ago when I was blogging about it.   Collagen is found throughout our body.  It’s a

TOO MUCH

Here I am again trying to explain (to myself? to the ether?) why I am not finished with my very important photobook project.  One I am so desiring to have completed, and so motivated, I thought, to get DONE!  And I started it oh-so-long ago….aaarrrggghh! What’s the problem? I think the Filing Fairies who have

Digging for Love

As I started helping people in conflict work to reconcile, I knew what steps needed to be taken and what words and actions needed to appear in that process.  But getting to the place where “they” recognized what needed to be done with regard to their own contribution to the problems was the big obstacle

Salty Advice

“Where food meets faith” is the opening for a blog I want to feature here.  Isabel D. Price is related to a dear friend of mine – so that is how I learned of her email blog “New Life Promise”. She regularly reminds her readers that faith-focused food is all about finding nourishment.   Although

Are You an Intercessor?

Intercessor is kind of a big word that I just skipped on by not thinking I would ever need to know about it.   I thought it was something only a few folks were “called” to do.   But then a dear friend of mine who moved far away with his wife to be close to

What Do I Do With All This Stuff?

What stuff?  It’s all the family history stuff – you know, letters, documents, obituaries, funeral guest books, Bibles, photos, media (VHS, super 8 film, audio cassettes, etc.), family tree sheets (half-completed by some unknown person), newspaper clippings, annuals, and the list goes on and on. Maybe you are the Family Historian by choice – active

The Best Bread Ever

Did your kids have a habit of saying “best ever”?  Like “best brownies ever” or “best vacation ever” or “best bike ever”?    I find myself in that groove, too.  Always searching for the “best ever” in recipes, fix-it’s, gifts, photos and family stories – whatever subject you name. And when I started eating gluten free,

Stress –  Good or Bad?

Is stress good or bad? OK, you are going to get the “lawyer” answer here – “it depends”! Probably the most common words you hear when someone is talking about stress are negative words – stress is something to be avoided.   But truth be told, it is a natural and expected part of daily life
