Psalm 14:2, Fiber Fun, Literary Life: Liar's Dice, Finding Joy in Journaling from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There!

Thank you for stopping in for a visit! I skipped posting last week—life happens, right?—but I ended up accomplishing twice as much on my goals - for the blog and behind the scenes. The rain here has been beautiful, leaving our desert plants looking fresh. My husband and son were away on an overnight trip, and while I enjoyed a quiet morning for studying and writing, the house felt a bit too lonely without them. I was so glad when they returned!

Take good care and, as Daddy used to say,

"Make memories; it's later than ...

Psalm 14:3-5: God is in Our Company, Fiber Fun with Hexagons, Literary Life, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Today, I’m looking back at where my blog began by linking to my [first] and [second] posts. These archives begin the documentation of my breast cancer journey—a time that was incredibly difficult, yet the biggest blessing of my life.

My daughter gave each year of our three-year journey a name: 2015 "The Year of the Fight", 2015 "The Year of Recovery," and 2017 "The Year of the Comeback. It was during my 'recovery year' in 2016 that I felt the call to write devotionals. Even though sharing my ...

Psalm 13:5 God's Devotion, Fun, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello there!

Happy Fourth of July to all of you who celebrate! It has been a quiet week as I continue to recover from surgery nine days ago. I have spent much of my time crocheting some cowls, reading a couple of books, sleeping and occasionally watering our garden. I've been eating comfort foods, but, starting today it's back to mostly healthy eating.

I hope you all have had a fabulous week and are ready to move onto a new week! Here's a song to enjoy as you read this new post!

Take good care and, as ...

Psalm 13:3 "Consider me and respond, O LORD...", Fiber Fun, Literary Living from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hi there!

I hope you've all had a fabulous week! Yes, I actually had my surgery yesterday, but I was able to post this because most of it was pre-written. Luckily, the surgery was done laparoscopically, so recovery is fairly easy. I'm hopeful it stays that way.

In the eleven months since my daddy's passing, I’ve found that grief never truly ends; we just learn to live with it as it sleeps, and then wakes up roaring. I'm realizing my mind isn't entirely clear right now. One goal that has completely fallen off my ...

Hello There!

Wow, it has been two whole weeks since my last post! I honestly thought I’d be blogging while in San Diego, but we were just too busy making memories. From exploring local gems with Mama—complete with a perfect afternoon sharing cheesecake at her home—to discovering new spots with my DH, we completely immersed ourselves in the local scene. Of course, no trip to SD is complete without visiting my favorites, including two trips to Liberty Station and a wonderful haul (pics in the Finding Joy section) from Apricot Yarn and Supply! On quieter days, we ...

Hello There!

Thank you for stopping by! Whether you are enjoying summer or a completely different season across the globe, I hope you are staying comfortable. Here in Southern New Mexico, the heat is no joke. I’ve been fleeing the heat by going indoors by 10:00 AM, stepping out only for my absolute favorite things: my reading and fiber arts groups. Well, I also step out for my responsibilities like medical appointments and purchasing fresh produce. I’m drinking so much water I feel like my eyeballs are floating!

I also have a big milestone coming up: my ...

Psalm 12:3, Fiber Fun and a video! Literary Life and Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,

Welcome! I hope you are doing well today! This past week was so busy! I had a couple of gatherings with friends and a few doctor appointments. The friends were fun; the doctors... not so much. Apparently, I have some unusually fast-growing polyps in my gallbladder, which resulted in my surgeon highly recommending its removal—especially given my history of breast cancer. After obtaining a second opinion and talking with my family, I've decided to part ways with my gallbladder. I've heard it's a pretty easy surgery to recover from.

Now onto the fun stuff ...

Hello There,

I hope you're having a blessed day with joy, peace and love! My week has been filled with writing, studying, playing with fiber arts, reading and a bit of time with friends. I did have a different kind of day on Tuesday.

Our school district honors bilingual students by offering them the opprotunity to graduate with a Bilingual Seal added to their diploma. My former student teacher invited some of my friends who are retired teachers and myself to serve on a panel that grants students the opprotunity to graduate with their Bilingual Seals!

Psalm 10, Fiber Fun - or not? Literary Life, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There!

I hope you had an amazing week! We're going to several of my grandson's baseball games each week. This weekend will be filled with his basketball games. I love having this time with my family while the weather is still cool enough to attend. Heat is my kryptonite, so soon I'll just be hearing about his baseball games rather than attending.

I finally had some time at home to play with fibers and read. I listened to a fabulous audio book, The Phone Booth at the End of the World by Laura Imai Messina. In ...

Hello There,

Thank you to everyone who stopped in last week! It was fun to guest host Melva's Link Up and meeting so many wonderful people! Thank you, Melva, for this wonderful opprotunity! And thank you to all of you who linked up!

This week was jampacked with obligations every day - sometimes two or three in a day! This weekend will also be full. Thank God, most of these activities were fun! As I wrote this post, I was surprised how much I did accomplish. Usually things look worse in my head than the actually are. After a few ...

Hello There,

Welcome, and thank you so much for stopping in! Has Spring sprung in your neck of the woods? Here in Southern New Mexico, we have had a mix of hot, cool, and perfect temperatures. I'm finding recovery slow going, probably due to a sinus infection developing a few days after I was diagnosed with strep. Talk about a 2 for 1!

This week, I am happy to guest host Melva’s (from Melva Loves Scraps) Sew and Tell link-up. You will find the link at the bottom of this post.

Please grab your favorite beverage, sit back ...

Hello There,

Thank you so much for stopping in! I sure hope you all are doing better than I am. It's my birthday weekend and strep throat decided to crash the party. I've been miserable, but am hopeful the coming week will be better. My husband, who is an amazing cook, made me a big pot of delicious chicken/vegetable soup! It's so soothing to my throat. Thank You, God for antibiotics, my wonderful husband and chicken soup!

Before I got sick, my husband was also in to mood to paint my sewing room. The walls are ...

Hello There,

Thank you for stopping in today! Lately I've noticed a change in my mindset. While I enjoy my current fiber projects, there are so many hidden gems and long-lost UFOs I am also working on and want to share with you!

Next week, you’re invited to a 'Parade of Behind-the-Scenes Projects' to see my hidden fiber arts collection! I'll share my progress via an occassional "break from the routine" posts.

For now, happy reading, sewing, and enjoying whatever else you love to do!

While we're talking about blogging, thank you all for your patience as I grieve Daddy. I’m finally starting to comment and respond to your sweet comments again! As spring begins to peek around the corner, my joy is slowly returning. It feels strange, but wonderful to laugh, play with my grandbabies, and rediscover joy in everyday life again. It's fabulous to reconnect with all of you!

Hello There,

Thank you so much for stopping by! It has been a creatively productive week with progress made on most of my goals. On a more personal note, I’ve begun reading a few books on grief. I know many of you are also walking through loss, just as I am grieving my daddy. They say it gets easier, but the pain never completely goes away.

My most valuable resource during this time is the Bible. The Touchpoint Bible in the New Living Translation has been invaluable.

Last week, I was recommended two books that have helped me immensely ...

Matthew 6:33, Fiber Fun, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,

Welcome back! Are you settling back into a normal rhythm now that the holiday rush has faded? One of my favorite parts of the year is that quiet 'in-between' week from Christmas to New Year’s. For me, it’s a time for rest and reflection. After being "freed" from quaranting in my bedroom, I'm eager to get settled back into my home office. However, I decided to leave my devotional materials in the cozy corner I created in my bedroom. I managed to tick off most of my goals, finish two great audiobooks, and watched a ...

Hello There,

Thank you for stopping by! I appreciate your time and visit! This week my son had the terrible after-COVID-migraines. Last night he showed signs of improvement and even asked for pizza! I think we may start with homemade chicken soup. LOL!

So it’s been a pretty quiet week around here—lots of reading, sewing, and playing my Township game. I definitely set a timer, because that game can be surprisingly time-consuming. My grandchildren are thrilled that I’ve finally joined them in an online game, and they’ve been patiently—and very gently—showing me the ropes ...

Hello There,

Thank you for stopping by! It was another busy week with more doctor appointments, gatherings with friends and various sewing groups. Toward the end of the week I caught a cold, hence today's late publication. I'm taking care of myself and know I'll feel better soon. Mama tells me it takes a good 7 days to feel right as rain, so I'm looking forward to that.

Fall is in the air! I'm looking forward to making my yummy pumpkin quick bread, soups and stews!
