Ok…I’m sitting here in my little kitchen/dining room and getting ready to respond to some very kind words I had last night and I realized that the post below, never got published on the blog. I re-read it and it blew me away. I am so lucky to have those little moments of clarity within which I can actually let the chaff fall away and get to the kernel of truth God has allowed me to...
Last night we met as a community to worship and pray and discern what the Father wants us to be/do/become….What a gathering. Wow, I tell you what, wow. I come from a mainline church background (Lutheran of the ELCA variety, just in case you wondered). The idea of corporate prayer usually came in the form of the liturgy. We just didn’t pray the way I’ve experienced prayer here in...
So last night I had one of the first “girls night out” excursions I’ve had in a long time courtesy of the lovely young ladies of the Convent. Dessert, coffee and a chick flick….So relaxing and wonderful. I don’t think they, or anyone else for that matter, really know how hard it is for me to let go and just enjoy the moment. The three of them were so gracious and...
My best friend and I have struggled over an idea we have from scripture. She and I are both divorced. She is remarried. I had an abysmally bad non-marriage relationship. We are currently having an open dialogue about what scripture says on marriage after divorce. We are both very confused. Let me put it all out here and if there are thoughts, they would be helpful and appreciated. We have...
Yep, it’s officially official. I work for the EVIL CORPORATE GIANT. I know I’ve said it before, but I am here to tell ya folks, they got me today. As some you know, I accepted a new position within said EVIL CORPORATE GIANT (TM). I thought I was doing the “right thing” in that I gave the lesser demon to whom I report the heads up about 3 months ago when I was...
Happy New Year…yeah, right. I am officially a failure. I am leaving Durham to go back to Cincinnati next weekend. I just couldn’t hold everything together financially and am running back to the shelter and relative safety of an evil corporation. Yikes!!! What it all comes down to in the end is that I don’t seem to have a grasp on what it takes to be a grown-up. So,...

Wow….Nothing since July. I have truly become a person without much to say. No one who knew me growing up would have ever thought that. But I guess the point is that I am afraid that I have become too unhip or too stupid to say anything anyone would want to read. Then I think about my life and realize I need to say something. If nothing else, my views could be read as a cautionary tale ...

Why is it that late at night when I am alone, I end up feeling very lonely. Isn’t it enough that I have an amazing daughter? Or that I have some of the most marvelous people in my life? Apparently not, because I just ache for someone to spend the rest of my life with. I want to be courted and cherished and loved. I want to cherish and love someone back. I want to have the ups and downs...

Well, I goofed. I really thought I’d have something to say to the world. I didn’t, but now I do. I have travelled an incredibly bad patch of road this past year. The only thing I have left is a sense that the world is generous, both with crap and with amazingly enriching relationships. I am now ( really and truly for those who’ve heard this before) a single mom on the...
Good Morning all. I have finally got my act together and will now attempt to post at least twice a week. Thanks to Bela for giving me the inspiration to actually share the inside of my head with the rest of the world. I am not an accomplished writer, nor am I even remotely hip. I am a strange and obtuse girl, living in a foreign culture. This post is actually a trial run, so look for...

Here's my First blog
OMG! I was inaugurated to the field of blogging by Antonio. I reckon it’s good but will have to fine-tune the margins and titles a bit… Perhaps I will find time this week to sort things out. I guess I’ll start now.
