Another Day To Don the Wy Wings

It is now the early hours of the morning and I just listened to an inspiring speaker say that “We all have and will have our ups and downs.” I just got in the bed to practice falling asleep and discovered it was not the time or place. I moved to my blog that is dedicated to my GirlMic Leslie. The butterflies carry some of the names who are prayer intercessors and I said I would count them as others count sheep. I have set a 03::00 goal to go again to bed but I thought it would be a good time to count the people who are helping me get through another day. I decided to double my words of thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ for the opportunity of another day to don my wings.

The definition I have chosen is, “ruminate is Figurative. to think or ponder; meditate; reflect.” Today I experienced a muted moment of prayer as I listened to a group of prayer warriors give praise reports and prayer requests. I have chosen to make this observation in response to the prompt: ruminate. I am working to […]

I Hesitate and Listen for Your Voice

via Daily Prompt: Hesitate   This is the eighteenth month mark of my GirlMic getting her Wings to go to her heavenly place.  I wanted to write her a letter to say “I love you and I pray for every mother in mourning this  March morning.” I share this picture of a sermon that gave me some consolation. The songs that the choir sang were perfect. “Just To Know Him, Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God and “He is my Everything.”  Dr. Netters challenged us to “Be excited about God.”  and asked the question, “What could 700-800 committed people do today?

A January Joy And A Grace Connection

On New Year’s eve, our Church had a “Ceremony of Remembrance and Healing.” I do not feel like I was completely able to participate  because I was not feeling well. I chose this as my first 2017 writing because I see many things written about the joy and grace connection of remembering. I thought it might help others if they felt the grief of not having someone present. I am remembering my GirlMic Leslie as I light my candles and speak about her love for family. “Praise the LORD O my soul, and forget not all his benefits.”

Another Mother’s Mourning

In my quest to write today as I prepare to attend another daughter’s transition and comfort another mother, I pause to honor the love of a mother. It has been a year and 24 days since my #GirlMic took flight and it was another sleepless night as I imagined the pain of this mother preparing for her final earth goodbyes. This week has been an up and down travel week as I put prayer in place for those who hurt. I joined the “Legacy Connection”  as I continue to pursue wisdom. We are all in position and a place of grace.

Good Morning

This is my sign that gives me the peace and #WWOW so thanks for your beautiful pictures that I can add to my memories of my GirlMic Leslie

Chronicles of an Anglo Swiss

Nothing special, but it was an experimental shot to see if I could take a photo of a butterfly on the other side of the garden in my buddleia bush with my new long distance lens, and it seemed to work quite well. This butterfly was probably on its last days as the wings were looking quite tattered. I recognise most of the local butterflies, but this is not in my category of known names.

I did not have so much luck with my blackbird. There is a pair that visit the garden every morning. Sometimes you can snap a photo before they fly away, but more luck than anything else, and not a close up. This morning I spotted the male of the species (he is completely black with a yellow beak, the female more brown) and so I immediately got my camera with the attached 300 lens to…

It Is Your Birthday Forever

I have just returned from a private day party where my children, SonD, GalVal, grand girlP and great grandgirl KEB and I sent balloons into the air as we celebrated the Date of Birth of my daughter Leslie. I remember not going last year when it had only been 12 days but seeing that my sonD had gone and placed a balloon and took pictures. We decided this would be an annual reflection and memories event It as amazing to see  my family smile and remember her. I wanted to put this birth day in pictures and prose as we remembered.
