Northwood Jane: March 2014
http://northwoodjane.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 14, 2014. Caught in the moment. Dear readers, this week I had the pleasure to guest post for The Coffee Shop Chronicles over at Paisley Rain Boots, a blog run by my dear mother. You can find the post here. Or enjoy it below. A hum of chatter fills the room. Every open space is filled with the voice of one or another. Then there are the pairs. Only three voices remain silent. By CS Lewis open to his piece on "Learning in War-Time". I'm caught in the moment. Labels: C.S. Lewis. Home was a pla...

Northwood Jane: April 2013
http://northwoodjane.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 3, 2013. Five things to think on. First, to provoke thought:. Why does God have me where I am? A question I ask myself often, but a good one to think on. God is using us in every moment of every day. Be happy with where you are now, even if you'd rather be in a different place. Second, to strive to be:. Humble, gentle, and quiet. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." -1 Peter 3: 4.

Northwood Jane: Spinach-Pesto Pasta with Mushrooms and Ricotta
http://northwoodjane.blogspot.com/2014/01/spinach-pesto-pasta-with-mushrooms-and.html
Wednesday, January 22, 2014. Spinach-Pesto Pasta with Mushrooms and Ricotta. It is that time of year. Caught inside as the winds whip outside, dropping the temperature to an arctic chill that reads below zero. Yesterday, stuck inside I tried my hand at a new food creation: spinach-pesto. The final pulse left me with a smooth combination of pesto, with a slight overpowering aroma of garlic. 1/4 cup fresh basil (I used dried basil, but would recommend fresh). 1 cup fresh packed baby spinach. 8 oz whole whe...

Northwood Jane: June 2013
http://northwoodjane.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 25, 2013. The best book of poetry begins with "In the beginning.". Is a powerful form of language. of writing. of art. An honest poem can cause a reader to burst out in pure laughter; it can cause them to weep tears of sorrow and pain. A raw, real, all natural poem pulls at the heartstrings of the reader. They connect. Over the course of the two day conference I witnessed the lyrical songs of Josh Garrels. The discussion, the seed planting idea of the Bible as poetry was brought forth in on...

Paisley Rain Boots: The Girl in the Boots
http://paisleyrainboots.blogspot.com/p/the-girl-in-boots.html
The Girl in the Boots. 52 Week Photography Project. The Coffee Shop Chronicles. The Girl in the Boots. I think it is nearly impossible to get your "about me" page right on the first try. Realistically, if you are constantly learning new things and growing through that learning, what you write today will need to be rewritten six months from now. So this is who I am today, November 20, 2016. I have been fortunate enough in 2016 to be published in Rural Magazine. September 11, 2013 at 4:49 PM. I love your p...

Northwood Jane: Friends, I'm back!
http://northwoodjane.blogspot.com/2013/10/friends-im-back.html
Wednesday, October 9, 2013. Friends, I'm back! My dear mother and grand blogger herself has nominated me for an award. This award has come at time, well, so perfectly timed. I have begun to embrace my blog once more. I have ached for it in the past months, but with the fullness of life it was tucked into a corner untouched. Plus I am including a new addition FOOD. Yet, I thought it would be fun to answer the ten questions posed for the nomination. And link you. Currently, I love Julie and Julia. Seven Ma...

Northwood Jane: May 2013
http://northwoodjane.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 27, 2013. To those who taught. You sit at the table, carved down by the gnarled hands of a man whose spot now sits empty. You were young, the day that spot opened up, left for dust to collect on, but felt the pain. You lost a gentle hand. To carry you through. So this day you will remember a man who taught. You to work hard and never stop. To love through action, through silent words. A few months back I stumbled on this blog by Hannah Brencher. Through Good Women Project, and whoa! So that i...

Northwood Jane: Let's crave together like we crave chocolate
http://northwoodjane.blogspot.com/2014/03/lets-crave-together-like-we-crave.html
Sunday, March 9, 2014. Let's crave together like we crave chocolate. Home was a place she missed. There were days where the missing was a surface level feeling and other days it was a deep pit that could not be filled. Being far away in a vast city with coffee shops on every street corner was thrilling, exciting even, but there was a but. That but was a bit that embodied a need to be with someone. Not in a "significant other" sense, rather, quite simply, a someone whose presence created company. It is a ...
