Recently a friend asked me, “Why the blog?”
My answer involves a question.
Is there anything that makes your heart sing – an interest or activity that excites you, makes you happy to wake up each day?
The process of writing does that for me. Finding just the right words to express a thought or capture a moment gives me great pleasure.
That satisfaction is what gave even this timid woman the courage to launch out into cyberspace. (Admittedly, I was pushed forward by the recognition that anyone who wants to be published has to establish an online presence.)
This “curly girl” plaque by Leigh Standley captured my feelings after I made some important life changes last year. So I bought it for myself as a reminder to listen for my heart.
I blog because it makes my heart sing!
What brings music to your world?
My heart is like a singing bird. Christine Rossetti

I'm a lover of God, mother of three, grandmother of eight, and a collector of friends. I like nothing better than talking, listening, laughing and eating with that crowd. My husband, Terry, and I feel blessed to wake up each day to a magnificent view of the Arkansas River. An amazing variety of creatures, from bobcats and coyotes to deer, bunnies and nutria, along with all sorts of birds roam the natural area behind our house. We also share our home with three silly kitties. I often find a lesson in what I see both indoors and out on any given day and usually find myself writing about it. I hope you'll join me in exploring the ways God speaks to us through His creation.
