"I got to thinking one day about all those women on the Titanic who passed up dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to 'cut back.' From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible."
(Erma Bombeck)
Sunday, January 22, 2012 at 7:44PM The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers. – M. Scott Peck
Monday, December 12, 2011 at 3:12PM Have you missed me? Well, I've missed you, blog readers. Where to start? Well, it's a funny thing. I have not felt a need to write for quite awhile. I think it's because I am getting my creative needs met by working tirelessly on the website for my new business. In the past few months, I have spent hundreds of hours planning, researching, and learning for my new business endeavor.
Wednesday, October 26, 2011 at 10:14PM I didn't intend to make this a long blog entry (Lord knows my intentions were good); rather, I wanted to share a video that I came across this week (see the end of this post).
Monday, October 3, 2011 at 12:16AM I haven’t updated my blog in over a month. I’m not sure, but I think that’s the longest window of time since I started writing this blog in July of 2008. Apparently, I haven’t had a need to “talk.”
Friday, August 26, 2011 at 10:26AM Most of you know that our family converted from Protestantism to the Orthodox Church in 2007. I've shared fairly frequently on my blog about our journey--an incredible paradigm shift from Western to Eastern Christianity. Today I would like to share an essay written by my daughter telling of our journey from her perspective
Monday, August 15, 2011 at 4:13PM In June, my husband and I celebrated 30 years of marriage. Thirty years, folks. Man, does that make me feel old. The years have swirled by in a mist of memories. Here we stand at Year Thirty. As I look back, I am grateful that we stuck it out together, if only by God’s grace.
Thursday, July 28, 2011 at 9:46AM As promised, I want to share a bit about My Big, Fat, Orthodox Wedding that took place on July 10th this year. Our family converted to the Orthodox Church in 2007 and one of the things I’d wanted to do, but kept putting off, was to have our marriage blessed by the Church. Well, it’s really more than a “blessing” --marriage is a Sacrament of the Church. We decided that, in honor of our 30th anniversary, what better way to celebrate than to tie the knot in the most meaningful way possible—by being married in the Orthodox Christian Church.
