life. these days.
soaking in some good creative time with carving block and tools.
walking around after my meals with this 32 week ((almost 33 week)) belly i'm carrying.
listening to so much birdsong. nesting, too.
eating with great intention and mindfulness ((dealing with gestational diabetes - takes greater thought and purpose, though no huge changes in the foods i'm eating, but certainly more frequent and exact.))
painting and dreaming of painting.
thankful for another amazing retreat weekend. such good folks to be with and lead. such a great time.
these days i'm making new work and offering it on etsy as quickly as i'm able. my floors are taking the back seat as i slow the pace and get done what needs to be done. doing my best to remind myself to rest. to be gentle and set a pace that will carry me through until july when we welcome our sweet one into the world.
my hopes include making plans for some new writing ... ecourses ... new wisdom cards. new feathers for the plume.
now i'll return to carving. i'll return to resting. i'll make good food and send love to good folks who need it.
sending blessings your way.

witnessing beauty and blessing.
our pastor's last sunday with our church is today. i've been filled with emotion and grief. she is amazing, and she will be so good for the church she's moving to as their pastor. she believes in long term pastorates, serving grace for 23+ years. we'll miss her.
yet we won't be lost.
yesterday we had a benefit concert for the soon-to-be-new-to-us organ. our church and the church our pastor is moving to choirs sang together. we sang. they sang. voices joined together in unison, with a common purpose, celebrating the same soul.
the presence of this pastor in our life has been deeply healing for me. for us. there are so many stories of conflict from previous churches. we've found healing with her. what i have come to realize, too, is that we've found healing with each other.
sharing. accepting. receiving.
knowing that we are blessed by her. we bless her. we are blessed by her church-to-be. we bless them.
amazing. i've never heard of two baptist churches who come together and share with one another in such a beautiful way. the experience was moving. the experience will usher moments of healing.
as i sat there, with this sweetpea in my belly rocking about with the music, i thought to myself that the table is set to go and visit their church. to know that door will always be open. anytime. there is no end to relationship here, just the type of relationship.
today i will celebrate. i will grieve. i will know and be known. she will know and be known. she is loved. she is blessed. she is blessing.
yet we won't be lost.
