Once upon a time, there were two sisters who liked to dream. One day, when they were quite grown-up, one of them said, “Let’s go to Newfoundland.” Her sister said, “Let’s do it.” And then they laughed. That was normal. That was how they always shared their dreams with each other. Visiting the only provinceContinue reading “The Crazy Dream”

Ripples on the River
It was a year ago that I settled down on my top bunk at SMBI for a quick nap before our banquet supper. This was our final evening of term, the day before we planned to leave for our choir tour in Belize. I picked up my phone just one more time before closing myContinue reading “Ripples on the River”
Light That Fire
…a photo gallery, mini thoughts, and a big announcement… Autumn. Ahhh….when it is autumn, let there be bonfires. Let there be bonfires all year round. For around a bonfire, people gather. Around smoke, ashes, and glowing coals, memories are born. With patient care, a baby spark is nursed to a happy flame. Stretching for theContinue reading “Light That Fire”

So this time, I’m sharing a fun post.Continue reading “Highschool Soccer”
Imagination
Innocence,Berry juice on fingers,Eyes sparkling like silver,Giggles lilting, tinkling through golden sunshine.Bare toes scouring dirt for a pebbleSmoother than the one beforeWhile ruffles ripple in a clement breeze.The heaping scoops of clouds aboveSail across the limitless sky,And the puff of pink midst the grasses belowSees nothing of the likes.Beneath the quivering aspen leavesShe has escapedContinue reading “Imagination”
From An Elephant Teddy
Again and again lately, I have been reminded of how incredibly blessed we are this Christmas season. The blessings come in so many different packages and I cannot unwrap them all for you today. The greatest blessing of all is that my Savior humbled Himself to become man so He could offer salvation. He experiencedContinue reading “From An Elephant Teddy”
