I created this card to send to my Grandchildren. If they lived next door like in the olden days when family’s grew up together, I’d take them for walks and we’d look at God’s big creative world together, but since we don’t, …….. Created for my Grandchildren on May 11, 2010 I have a friend who…
A couple weeks ago, on April 28 I spent time with my mentor/spiritual director friend, Shirley and we celebrated 5 years of friendship. Our first visit to Botanic Gardens when I was deeply hurting, was 5 years ago! I wrote the following about a year ago and sent it to her. And I share…
I created and framed these pics for my mom for Mothers’ Day, 2006, 5 months after she had lost her third child and I had lost my last sibling: “The world loves closure, loves a thing that can, as they say,be gotten through. This is why it comes as a great surprise to find…
