I’m a writer, reader, and creative. I thought by now I’d have things figured out, but I keep coming up with more questions. I think that’s okay. I’m here most mornings pondering ordinary things and the thin places where faith intersects.

  1. I like your foraging photo. Again, simple but stunning. And the rainbows! I can see the gold.

  2. Love the red. There is little that can replace a friend like that. They are so nice to have.
