Good morning... I love the healing rituals we do while on retreat. Usually, that is. Usually, I love each wise healing ritual. But yesterday, as instructed, I blindly picked out a rock from a soft bags of stones, and I didn't like it. I didn't like the engraved stone randomly resting in my hand. Other people picked rocks [...]
Good morning... I brew a twelve cup pot of coffee before our house guests stir and marvel in amazement at the gifts God stirred up in us. "Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you," says our central Scripture from yesterday's Awake To Wholeness Women's Retreat. "For God has not given [...]
Good morning... There are a variety of ways to impact the world. Music is one of them. Last weekend I was introduced to a music video created by Playing For Change. Researching a bit, I discovered this quote: "Playing For Change is a movement created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief [...]
Good morning... "Hi, I just talked to Agape," texted my fun friend Corinne Adams on March 25th. (Agape Youth and Family Center supports and empowers both senior citizens and school age kids from underserved families in our community.) "They wished aloud for as many as 226 pieces of Mother's Day jewelry before April 23rd! (200 kids and 26 [...]
Good morning... You may remember this cool painting from last month's post entitled Steve's Birthday Surprise.

Cozy candles. Meditative music. Soothing scripture. At the same time, I noticed my inner critic rising up with a vengeance, "Why do you even do a measly morning [...]
Good morning... Yesterday's post focused on what children may be learning as they spend time outside of the traditional school classroom. Tip The Canoe stirred things up and dumped us out in different spots in our common sea of humanity. Some subscribers enjoyed the free swim of a slower pace and a simpler life: "Brilliant perspective! Fills my heart with joy. [...]
Good morning... In this season of social distancing, Uber Eats delivers. The local pizza place delivers. I too have made my second delivery. My delivery is a bit unusual. Do you remember my good friend's daughter Audrey, who has battled cancer and now raises funds for cancer research? Audrey's goal is "to make cancer treatment shorter and less painful [...]
Good morning... "We're adjusting to a new reality," musicians in this video admit, "and we'll have to find solutions in order to support each other. Creative forces help us, let's think outside the box and use innovation to keep our connection and make it work together. Because if we do it together, we will succeed." This energizing endeavor [...]
Good morning... I feel like I just birthed a 12 pound baby. Naturally. After three full day of hard, hard labor. Our baby was conceived by God a long while back, but this was the weekend her due date graced my calendar. Sunday was my well anticipated time to deliver. For months and months, really years and years, [...]
