Bonnie's box

Recently I entered ADO's "Framed" Challenge.
I used this as an opportunity to make a birthday gift for my friend Bonnie.
For my birthday she gave me the card that this box is based on. We laughed. Hard!
She called me "her most colorful friend".
I took it as a compliment.
And when she receives this gift,
she will undoubtedly know....
She is MY most colorful friend.


This last week I had the honor of being spotlighted on Lisa Johnson's blog.
Thank you Lisa!
I gave a shout out to my dear friends Jodi and Richard Creager and Marie Segal.
:-)
Love you guys....

Guidance

"This is amazing that someone even thought of this!



Dancing With God
When I meditated on the word Guidance,
I kept seeing 'dance' at the end of the word.
I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.
When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.
The movement doesn't flow with the music,
and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.
When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,
both bodies begin to flow with the music.
One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back
or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another.
It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully.
The dance takes surrender, willingness,
and attentiveness from one person
and gentle guidance and skill from the other.
My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.
When I saw 'G': I thought of God, followed by 'u' and 'i'.
'God, 'u' and 'i' dance.'
God, you, and I dance.
As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust
that I would get guidance about my life.
Once again, I became willing to let God lead.
My prayer for you today is that God's blessings
and mercies are upon you on this day and everyday.
May you abide in God, as God abides in you.
Dance together with God, trusting God to lead
and to guide you through each season of your life.
I Hope You Dance Through Your Weekend~

A Quote for the weekend

"The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark."
– Michelangelo Buonarroti

About Michelangelo Buonarroti

Michelangelo Buonarotti, the Renaissance sculptor and painter, is considered one of the world's greatest artists. He was born in Tuscany in 1475. He apprenticed to a painter at age 13, infuriating his father, who considered art menial work. By age 25, he had sculpted one of his finest works, the Pietà, in St. Peter's. Working alone, he took four years to paint more than 400 figures on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. He also designed St. Peter's dome and is perhaps best known for his iconic statue of David. He died in 1564.

For Renee's family and friends


"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief ... and unspeakable love."

Washington Irving
