Fostering a new renaissance through creativity, authenticity, spirituality, and art
We are sorry to be done with the four seasons of this BBC period costume drama that was aired between 2009 and 2013. We watched it recently on Amazon Prime instant streaming at the recommendation of a homeschooling friend, and we are so glad we did! We loved it and highly recommend it.
Whatever an education is, it should make you a unique individual, not a conformist; it should furnish you with an original spirit with which to tackle the big challenges…
Books about war are not my favorite genre, so it took a book club to get me to read this one about World War II. We had a great discussion about it this evening.
For this month, in my project of contemplating and growing in one attribute of Spirit at a time, I have been concentrating on being spiritually-minded.
This is good, and even our teenager liked it, who doesn’t think she likes cooked spinach. She told me to make it again!
We’ve had a very snowy season here… most Monday and Tuesday activities have been cancelled since New Years. I have only been to the pottery studio twice since the holidays, since Tuesday mornings have so often been impassable.
Please know you are loved! I love each and every one of you and God does too!
We had a nice small celebration for our youngest turning 18, as you can see in the photos below.
I really enjoyed this light book about a young woman with an amazingly discerning palate. She can taste anything and tell you what is in it and what it needs.
I’ve wanted to paint this since taking a photo of this scene of ice and fog early one fall day along the Housatonic river.
Imagine a dark room
behind a closed door
but the hall light is on
and when you open the door…
This bag has been on the knitting needles for probably two years, much of the last of that time languishing in my knitting bag completed but not assembled and shrunk. I am delighted to have recently put it together, and we shrank it last Friday.
I’ve been here for lunch a few times in the past, and every time it was memorably terrific, so I chose this location for my birthday dinner. The three of us had a great time and our meals were remarkably delicious.
I’ve had a nice day, full of Facebook love, phone calls, messages, and texts. Thank you for all your good wishes!
Erin Hanson is one of my favorite living artists. If I had money and wall space I would be investing in her work. I absolutely love it.
Consider the Generosity of a One-Year-Old who has no words to exchange with you yet, and instead offers up her favorite drooled-on blanket, her green rhinoceros as big as she is, her cloth doll with the long blonde pigtails, her battered cardboard books, swung open on their soggy pages, her limitless heart.
