After all this time, I'm finally posting. And finally got around to taking some photos. I keep meaning to post them but stuff kept coming up (like tearing apart the master bath... and the furnace deciding to stop working...) Then I stumbled upon this post at Between Naps on the Porch, which is one of the blogs I read when I get a chance. These link "parties" are always cool to take a bit to browse because you get some really great ideas from other people you would never otherwise meet in real life! Now, thanks to Laurie, I read quite a few home decor and DIY blogs. But have never posted photos or linked to them. I love to look but it never occurs to me to share my stuff with anyone else. And when I saw HomeGoods I got a little sniffy because I loved HomeGoods when we lived in Maryland (their Waugh Chapel store misses me, I'm sure.) But as far as I knew, we didn't have a HomeGoods in Cincinnati. Every time I'd happen to catch...
Hey there! So you may be wondering what this photo has to do with faith and art. You may be wondering what happened to faith and art and what happened to this blog since it's been a while since anything has been posted. Well, it's here. I'm here. And here's the deal - this isn't just an "idea" anymore (I've tried to link back to specific posts or other things that explain... re-introduce... the hopes I have for this blog, the group and the idea overall.) This whole Faith & Art thing is what I honestly feel like is God's gift to me. Not gift as in "I'm so gifted" or "my gift is my art." But gift as in God loves me so much that He decided He would plant this idea because He knew that it would bless my life in my thinking and my actions and that it has been a seriously great thing for me in that even when I'm not posting, the faith and art connection is something that is woven through just about ev...
First, the idea: I've decided to start posting here as a kind of journal while I work through my issues with creativity and my interactions with God – which are very often the same things. Good idea, A++ Second, a confession: My earlier Facebook post about my health may have read as thoughtful and mature. But in reality is was the result of a mini-temper tantrum a few days ago. I went to schedule my next haircut appointment and the receptionist replied that the date in my normal time frame fell on Nov 7th... which is the date of my next follow-up mammograms, scan, and surgeon appointment. I got flustered and had to apologize and hung up. I was so mad! Like, not scared about the mammograms but just mad because I want to be done feeling like my time is not my own ( "Mine! My own! My preciousssssss!" ) I want to not have ot think about bra I should wear so I'm not sore by the end of the day or have to keep track of a doctor's appointment six months out. We s...
