I walk by dying dandelions every day. So common. Gone in a breath.

But when I take time to look, it's a magic moment. A lit sparkler. A wizard’s wand. A glowing crown of thorns. A halo.

Do I believe that I’ve been created to bring life, to be beautiful and broken at the same time? I’ve wasted too much time crawling around like a worm when I was transformed to fly—even broken. The “Lie Guy” tells me it’s too late to start flying now.

Bill and I experienced our first wildfire in November. We never dreamed it would be on our property.

Lucy Farmer is one of the most fearless of artists, free to try many forms from HGTV home flips to her own line of jewelry (Lucy's Inspired). She's an entrepreneur, a curator of beauty, a resource to artists, and a role model of living a beautiful, adventurous life.

I am trying to unlearn my need (and bad habit) to interrupt and ask too many questions. My tendency to teach and "fix" and give the "right"answer. It's exposing my fear of "What if God doesn't show up?"

I'm learning to "zip my lips" and wait.
