Five Minute Friday ~ Happy
There is a party going on. Two years of celebrating a beautiful place to gather each week and love on each other. This week I popped in after being absent for months. This community opens its arms and says “welcome back”. This is Five Minute Friday and the...
Letting Go ~ Lost and Found
Lost and found. Every school has one. Most businesses also dedicate a place or a corner to house a lost and found. My experience with this idea is that over and over the lost remains lost and is not found as often as it is lost. Schools end up with an abundance of...
Sabbath Offerings ~ Retreat
What happens when you mix a long weekend, the Smoky Mountains and four women together? Not only is there a union of minds, but the heart and soul quickly follow in the opening up of our deepest parts. And when a trip to the mountains turns into this beautiful...

Sabbath Offerings ~ A New Day
A New Day Suspended between darkness and the first light of day, Caught between slumber and wakefulness, The mind slowly wakes up as one eye opens a crack and then both slowly adjust to the morning light. The body begins the slow dance of waking up, One small stretch...
Gracious Grace
The day began like any other. The awakening of the sun, little by little, until it sneaks though the mini blinds covering the windows. I followed my usual morning routine of waking up, working out and eventually indulging in my first cup of coffee. But this ordinary...Hi, I’m Mary!
I’m also a woman seeking God in the ordinary routines of life.
