The New Year

Looking forward to the new year with hope, anticipation & excitement for what is to come!

Thin Places

Philip Yancey writes that "Celtic spirituality speaks of 'thin places' where the natural & supernatural worlds come together at their narrowest."  The sight of the sun rising over the rim of a sleeping world, the words of an old hymn, the birth of my child--these thin places can be as momentous as life & death or as tiny as a hummingbird.  For some people the veil seems to be thinner than others...

Favorite Tea

Wishing I had some of the wonderful peach tea from Tin Star.  My parents are shopping at NorthPark in Dallas today.  I told them to have some for me! 

Most Amazing Song

James Blake: There's a Limit to Your Love

I love this song so much and can hardly wait for it to be available.  As one comment said, "This song is only done justice on a system with a woofer the size of a small child." 

Path of Thoughts

"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives."

-Henry David Thoreau,  Transcendental man

Tshirt Quilt

I had this amazing tshirt quilt made for V from her favorite high school tshirts.  Such a fun way to save those memories! 

What. Is. This.

"What. Is. This. On. My. Hand? Oh. It's my. Ring. I. Thought. It. Was that. Bird. Again." --Rachel Zoe

This is our favorite line from The Rachel Zoe project.  We have quoted this so many times!
