WonderGirl and the Sift. I can’t tell you About Me, without telling you About Them. I stay at home with my five children and that occupies my hands and heart all day. I love what I do, even when I don’t, and I am happy, even when I’m not. I believe in do-nuts on Saturdays, clover necklaces in the Spring, cyprus knots in the living room, sun hats on Easter, and marshmellows in cocoa. If I can pass along even a part of that to my children, I will be happy. October 9, 2010 at 6:36 am. Don’t stop there!

WonderGirl and the Sift. The Way of A Man with a Maid. January 11, 2015. 8220;There are three things which are too wonderful for me, Four which I do not understand: The way of an eagle in the sky, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the middle of the sea, And the way of a man with a maid.” Proverbs 30:19. Summer in my heart. Though winter rages ’round. Sunshine on my skin. Though rain keeps falling down. Music in my ears. When fades away the tune,. Stars in my sky,. Sweetness on my lips.

WonderGirl and the Sift. A Letter From Home. April 5, 2016. I mailed this letter to my brother today. I wonder if the mailman will notice the verses. Or the prison official who will read the letter, checking for violations. Or my brother’s cellmates. I hope they all will. There’s nothing it can’t do. I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,. And IN HIS WORD I put my hope. After a Slight Pause. January 29, 2016. Goodness gracious. Time does get away from me! And with my daughter! I’ll try to sneak...

WonderGirl and the Sift. January 4, 2015. But, this is okay. This feels right. He was arrested a few weeks before Christmas of this year. He was jobless, homeless, still in the process of breaking himself. Being arrested saved his life. He’s thinking about his life. With four blank walls around you, there’s no escaping your own thoughts. He is truly master over all. So there you have it. We’re in a quiet place now. A place to catch our breath. A place to assess our condition, check that...Notify me of ne...

Wednesday, June 10, 2015. A visit with an Ebony Jewelwing Damselfly. We recently had a visitor at the water feature in our courtyard and, at first glance, I thought it was a butterfly.

I discovered that he is an Ebony Jewelwing Damselfly. I determined that ours is a male because, according to the article abo...

WonderGirl and the Sift. When your heart can’t hold it in anymore. July 20, 2015. I’ve seen my brother once in the last two years, at my sister’s wedding. As we stood for photographs in the sunshine and the flowers and the heartbreak, I wondered if that would be the last one of us all together. He wrote me a letter from a rehab a few days ago, and before I had a chance to even write him back, he had left. I lay in bed some nights, imagining what it is that will kill him, and what it will do to us. The Du...

A Million Skies: Disappointment and Expectations Go Hand in Hand
http://www.a-million-skies.com/2015/05/disappointment-and-expectations-go-hand.html
Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Disappointment and Expectations Go Hand in Hand. Expectations and disappointment go hand in hand. It's simple, really. If you don't want to be disappointed, then don't expect anything from anyone. Hey.it's a win win. But, really.it's not. Shouldn't we expect certain things out of certain people? Without expectations we wouldn't be held accountable for anything. Would I pay the bills if I wasn't expected to? Would you call your mom, if you weren't expected to? People let you down.
