The Gift of Mothers and Mountains: Covered in Love
I’ve been inspired lately by mountains with my recent visit to Monte Sano. Mountains are awe-inspiring, majestic, and they cover about 24% of the earth’s surface. Taking in this breath taking natural wonder, I was reminded of the beauty and the majesty of mothers. Both mountains and mothers both possess great strength and stability as…

The Gift of Living Water
The name hydrangea comes from the Ancient Greek words for ‘water vessel’, ‘hydor’ and ‘angos’. This was chosen as the seed capsules on hydrangeas resemble cups. However, it’s a fitting name in another way—hydrangeas love water, and they tend to be quite thirsty. We as human beings have a certain likeness to that thirsty flower.…

The Gift of a Hero
“Sisters, Heroes” is inspired by and dedicated to my sister, Leslie. I am the only child my mother and father had together, but my father was married prior. I have a sister who has no relation to my mother but has chosen to care for her as if she were her own. My mom and…

The Gift of Vulnerability: Made For Worship

The Gift of a God Beyond Faithful
I decided to buy a piece of Peacock Ore to celebrate my first art sale which was “Beyond Beautiful” my floral peacock. I like to gift myself pretty stones to commemorate certain eras or special memories, and this is something I want to remember. Even more significant than my first sale was the faith it…

The Gift of Gold and Making Things Happen
There’s a woman I work with who inspires me. She’s an amazing mother, a strong woman, and she does the things she sets her mind to. Oh, and she’s very, very beautiful. If she were a color, she would definitely be gold. Gold is precious, rare, beautiful, highly valued and sought after. One property about…

The Gift of the Whisper
Have you ever had an experience where God spoke to you so clearly, it was absolutely undeniable it was Him? I’ve had a few of those moments, and those moments have come to shape my faith. The truth is though, more often than not, God speaks to us in a whisper. The thing about a whisper…
