Carrie.: Christmas gratitude.
http://coffeeandcarrie.blogspot.com/2015/12/christmas-gratitude.html
Choosing to look for and celebrate beauty. Thursday, December 24, 2015. Here we are. It's December 24th. Christmas is most definitely upon us. It's the most wonderful time of the year and sometimes if we're honest, it's stressful and chaotic and emotional too - because life is beautiful and complex and messy all wrapped up with a bow. It's hard to tell where one begins and one ends. Right? Here's Eva reading on the front porch just an hour ago. In December. Wild. Hello 13 degrees. Have seen a great light.

Carrie.: Better together.
http://coffeeandcarrie.blogspot.com/2015/10/better-together.html
Choosing to look for and celebrate beauty. Sunday, October 25, 2015. Two years ago my husband couldn't run. Steve was determined to get in shape. So, he began by shuffling around our small 1 km block. It was all about baby steps. Little by little. Week by week. Month by month. One of the first times he attempted a longer run (he decided to go uphill -whaaaat? And he came back practically hyperventilating and it took him over an hour to began breathing properly. The girls were like, "Is Dad okay? The day ...

Jantzi's Blog: April 2010
http://jeffjantzi.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 29, 2010. I thought of this conversation because last night, at group, we talked a bit about the Bible verse that this person was referring to, 1 Corinthians 10:13, " And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure. As the verse says. Second, and this is some of what we talked about last night - God always provides us a way out in our struggles. Tuesday, April 27, 2010. Check it ou...

Carrie.: August 2016
http://coffeeandcarrie.blogspot.com/2016_08_01_archive.html
Choosing to look for and celebrate beauty. Monday, August 8, 2016. Last week, on Monday August 1, 2016, the Civic Holiday to be exact, my Auntie Muriel passed away in her 88th year. I smile just thinking about them. She attended my high school graduation and became one of my biggest cheerleaders in my life. She cheered me on in a quiet and yet powerful way. In such a way that I knew she believed in me and was proud of me. Her hair was always done just so and she never left home without her bright red lip...

Carrie.: Comments.

Choosing to look for and celebrate beauty. I've made a decision to close comments on my blog. While I appreciate comments, I can be easily distracted by them and how many comments a post receives. The truth is that I want to be free from those details and simply write. Just a personal choice - for a while anyways. I also want my readers to enjoy reading this blog without feeling the obligation to comment :). Thanks so much,. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Try Subscribing by email. Enter your email address:.

Carrie.: Favourite week.
http://coffeeandcarrie.blogspot.com/2015/12/favourite-week.html
Choosing to look for and celebrate beauty. Wednesday, December 30, 2015. Christmas was busy and crazy and exhausting and now it's the week leading up to the new year is completely different. It's late nights and sleeping in. It's eating leftovers and Christmas cookies and too much chocolate. It's pjs and coffee and baileys before bed. It's watching movies and de-cluttering the house. It's taking down the tree and dreaming about the new year. It's my favourite week of the year. What am I grateful for?

Carrie.: Advent.
http://coffeeandcarrie.blogspot.com/2015/12/advent.html
Choosing to look for and celebrate beauty. Monday, December 7, 2015. Here we are in the season of advent. I'm beyond thrilled with this advent wreath that Steve helped me make. It might just be my favourite gift this year. I grew up in a faith tradition that celebrated advent. I admit that for so many years I never appreciated it and drifted from the meaning and the liturgy of it all. A few decades later, a little life experience and I totally get it. Yesterday we lit the candle of peace. I'm trusting in...

Carrie.: December 2016
http://coffeeandcarrie.blogspot.com/2016_12_01_archive.html
Choosing to look for and celebrate beauty. Thursday, December 1, 2016. A Christmas letter to myself. Last year, just a few days before December 25th, I wrote a Christmas letter to myself. With today being the first day of December, I thought it would be fitting to share it. I know that I sure needed this reminder today. So here you are days away from the big 25. As for this year, much. Plan nothing that last week before Christmas and guard it with your life. All of this requires time and space on your ca...
