On Today’s Platter

Good morning... Last night I made twelve Stromboli, six to serve our son's high school friends in our busy basement and six to share with his college friends as they move into their rental home this afternoon. Straddling two life chapters, two different seasons, two separate towns - Atlanta and Athens - Stromboli chills in our refrigerator right [...]

Why Are You Here?

Good morning... Strolling our dog down a very familiar street, a breeze picked up and this beautiful blossom floated down at my feet. I stopped and marveled at the exquisite design. Right before my eyes, this fragile flower had just switched from the process of living fully to the process of dying quietly. In one instant, one moment, [...]

Our Wheel Of Emotions

Good morning... Many of you have written to ask more about the EMOTION WHEEL talked about in yesterday's blog post, Treasure Each Tuesday. So, I went on a treasure hunt to find a copy of a similar image for our written word community, and viola! Here it is. Take a moment to look over the emotions detailed above. [...]

Inching Our Way Forward

Good morning... After a very significant phone conversation, she wrote me a thought-provoking text. "I just saw a photograph on Instagram this evening, the pain and the trauma expressed needs no fact checking," she wrote. "The image was a black woman holding a handwritten sign that read, 'We live in a world where trained cops can panic & [...]

Our One Attachment

Good morning... "Every morning God paints a different sunrise," my friend texted me a Jon Piper quote on the day we were leaving the beach as she was arriving. "He never gets tired of doing it again and again. But then it struck me. No, he doesn't do it again and again. He never stops doing it." "The [...]

One Yellow Tinted Bird

Good morning... After teaching our Zoom class in the cozy quiet of our newly decorated church parlor, I packed up my candle and laptop, I gathered my phone and purple notebook, and, after talking with a few friends on the staff, I walked out into the brick courtyard on the way to our car. Just outside the door, [...]

A Drunk, A Hunk, A Chunk Or A Monk?

Good morning... I have heard it said, "When we emerge from this global pandemic, we will be either a drunk, a hunk, a chunk or a monk!" This extended period of social isolation has held us long enough for our true colors to begin coming out in the mirror. What might we see if we looked at the [...]

Gratitude Is Everything

Good morning... I have spent the week selecting forty readings from one of my favorite books, The Hidden Life Awakened by Kitty Crenshaw and Dr. Cathy Snapp. Recording my voice reading aloud these soulful quotes will make up the backbone of our Waking Up Whole: Mind, Body, and Soul study. Forty readings. God and I prayerfully, diligently, whittled [...]

Where Are You?

Good morning... As vulnerable babies, we are born in relationship, born into the experience of Genesis 2:25: In those days the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed (VOICE). Then our innate self centeredness elbows others out of the way. Our "Me. Mine. I." begin to run our show. We devour what is not [...]

We Wake In Oneness

Good morning... Waking this morning at 3:24 am, I google "When is sunrise in Palm Beach, Florida?" The answer is "6:40 am." For three delightful hours, I will enjoy silence and solitude with God on this Sabbath morn before I walk out to the sand and do a photo shoot on my phone with the rising sun. Why [...]
