“The Gift of the Hummingbird and Why Caged Birds Still Sing”
I finally put two of my favorite paintings inside some frames. I created these two oil pastel paintings within the first few months of making the decision to sell my art, before I was inspired to start matting and framing them. My husband and I decided to create a dedicated gallery art wall in the…

The Gift of Looking Up
I recently got to mark “explore a gothic cathedral” off of my bucket list after my husband surprised me with a day trip to Sewanee, Tennessee. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a love, fascination, and deep passion for gothic architecture, especially churches. Perhaps it’s the intricate artistry of the carved stone…

The Gift of God’s Grace: In My Nature
There’s very few things my Sassy loves more than brushing up against a fresh bouquet of flowers. Very early on as a cat parent, I made the decision my cat would not be restricted from being a cat. If she wants to jump on furniture, I don’t force her down but instead clean more often.…

The Gift of Flying: What it Really Means to be Made New
A bit of a mess was made on our back porch when some soil stained water seeped out of our potted plants on to the ground. The water dried, and it left a brown water stain on the tiles. Before washing it away, Daniel and I noticed a blue butterfly land on the stain and…

The Gift of the Window and the Magic of Winter: Playing in the Snow
3/24/26 (an entry from my dream journal) Daniel and I sat next to one another during our nightly devotional. I looked into his warm blue eyes, and my heart filled with gratitude as my mind began to catch up with reality. One year ago today, I was a mere month away from meeting the love…

The Gift of Building Bouquets
Daniel and I sat down to build our second Lego project of the year. As we began putting the pieces of our bouquet together, we noticed something. The flowers were in different stages of development, some fully bloomed, others partially bloomed, and even some buds. This is actually what made the picture on the box…

The Gift of God’s Timing: I Said Yes
I heard the still small voice in my spirit whisper, “No matter how dark it gets, will you keep your eyes on my face?” “Yes.” I replied. The Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days of sorrow will end. (Isaiah 69:20) In 2024, my faith was repeatedly put to the test as I…

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…
