There was a tinge of feeling “less than”. And then, in my being I sensed a phrase of “you are worth waiting for”.
It stopped me in my tracks. Where else does this show up in my life? Everywhere. Absolutely everywhere. At home, at work, at play, at church or any group or meeting, or not, there was no place it was not.
I wonder how many witty inventions clever stories and pearls of wisdom have been lost or reallocated due to the simple act of the absence of penmanship.
The soul cleansing power of the lament (excerpts from my “morning writing” routine): We are so often taught to stuff it down and act civil. Yet there are times when we need to shake our fist at the world, pour out our soul, like puzzle pieces on the floor and have God instruct us on […]
Knowing what you don’t want is just as important as knowing what you do What do you want to do when you grow up? We’ve all heard this question in our lives, and to some point it may still apply. We go through changes in our lives, whether career, relational and even spiritual. Knowing […]
In terms of the worst advice I’ve ever received, I would say it has rather more to do with the delivery than the content. Or shall I say a matter of invitation. As such I’d have to say the worst advice is unsolicited advice. Those moments where you bare your soul, show your underbelly […]
Our culture seems uneducated and ill-equipped to navigate through this … either at a loss of how to support someone or process through the journey oneself.

Calculate how long it will take to pay off your credit card -or- Calculate what your payment would need to be to reach your payoff goal…
Budget Calculator – Easy just fill in weekly/monthly amounts and it calculates automatically for the year – auto calculates pie chart too…

One of the ways to get organized, be organized and declutter (clearing clutter) is to deal with collectibles and items associated with memories.
Life is about flow, not perfection. Decluttering is an ongoing one, but is very do-able. Organizing is a single step, and the rest are just a series of small steps all sewn together to create the final product.
Food a lot of the times isn’t even about food, it’s about the family around the food. You know, papa did this, and mama did that. We think it’s food, but it’s really the relationships created around the food, that is the supernatural part.
Soft Morning Kisses By Sylvia Fox Bevan What a beautiful thing it is to see the auburn sun come up and kiss the tender little greenhouse plants, as if to say “good morning my darlings” and they respond by reaching their delicate little leaves up in hopes of getting a hug from the one who […]
What is it really worth? By Sylvia Bevan Have you ever looked around you house and said, how come it doesn’t look like a magazine? It’s probably because it’s too cluttered.
