OUR JOURNEY

“This is our journey, this is you, this is me, this is we, this is us, this is life, this is ecstasy and woe, this is our energetic dance through layers of matter and space, this is our return to love.”

~ Rachel Elizabeth Schaf

Slow and Steady Wins the Race

Clearly my angels kept me safe on the ladder!

Dave and I were headed to Kentucky to attend his nephew's wedding last weekend; we used some vacation time to stop in Tennessee and get a little more work done at Poor Valley Creek Vineyard. Board & batten siding and soffit and fascia...as much as we could get done in 3 days!

As the sun dipped behind the mountains, we opened a bottle of wine, filled our red solo cups, and toasted to the start of our working weekend. Before calling it a night, we sat on our old porch swing and watched the moonrise (it was almost full) while listening to a soothing katydid chorus and rhythmic calls from a lonesome whippoorwill.

Thankfully, he is a “closet” carpenter, a “jack of all trades” really, and he can build ANYTHING he sets his mind to…So now we have a wine rack!

Lil’ Signs & Synchronicities

I’ve come to recognize and acknowledge curious little synchronicities as signs rather than dismissing them as “just a coincidence”. In my mind, there are no coincidences!
