Time on Our Hands

Many of us are finding extra time on hand with stay-at-home orders, quarantines and social distancing. This offers us the opportunity to look at the work we do, are doing, or have done in light of the spirit, in light of our destiny and God's will. How will the work we do reflect back on who we are as a person? How we do that work is even more meaningful than the work itself at times; is it done with a smile, with kindness and compassion, with joy?

We do truly want the fruit of our hands and labor to reflect the love, light and joy of the Holy Spirit in all we do and to those whose lives we touch. This is a part of our path to wholeness; when we are balanced and whole, we can do the work of God.


Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
Proverbs 31:31

If during this time on hand, you are feeling dissatisfied with your work, are searching for more meaning or feeling a lack of purpose, turn to the bible wherein you will find the guidance and teachings that you need to begin to work for the will of God. Proverbs 31 is the best place to start with the Virtuous Woman. Do not be discouraged if you do not know right away, God has a way of leading us on the journey we need to get us to what we are supposed to be doing. It takes, time, effort and patience, but you will be given the way.  "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:5-6

Words Across Time

Words linger. Whether it is audible, something spoken to us or something we read, words linger in our minds and stick like glue. Words are one of the few things that set us apart from all the other animals and living things, we can speak. Is it any wonder that the memory of a mother’s soft coo can so strongly calm and send us to the kitchen for a cup of coco or that the memory of a scolding can set us trembling? Words are positive, negative or neutral; neutral words have little effect but words of a positive or negative nature can lift up and inspire or tear down and destroy. In a sense, they are our strongest power and thus the power of words move with us across time. St. Catherine Christine de Pisan Whether I am reading the Bible or an ancient manuscript crafted out a thousand or more years ago by isolated monks on some remote island or a contemporary twentieth century author who has now passed, it never ceases to amaze me that I get to hear their thoughts acr...

Journal - October 16, 2015

Journal October 16, 2015 Cool rainy, weather, journaling, Anais Nin, Hawaii Five-0 and Chili Dogs. My life at present is a giant blinking cursor on a blank page because I am in-between projects. This happens every few years, probably to most writers. But I have been keeping journals dating back to 1978 when I first began. That’s a lot of journals. My son seems to think I should publish them, but why on earth anyone would want to read them, I cannot imagine. I feel like Anais Nin, keeping them safely tucked away in a vault (or in my case a storage unit, at least those that are pre-computer years). Anyway, since journaling is what I do the most (I won’t say best), I will keep a journal here at my blog for no reason at all other than it occupies me and helps me to think and heal, grow, create and prattle on. One of my unfinished projects that I can’t seem to get back on (as I am still waiting on that trip to London ) is an historical/fantasy/fiction novel titled Ravenna ...
