Monday Musings: January 16, 2012 (Abbreviated Version)

Dear Munchie-Boy,

Congratulations. You did it. You achieved your 1st milestone of puberty. You are now taller than me. This does not, however, give you license to use me as an armrest!

A vertically challenged 5th

Dear Bethany,

One word: Bravo!


A proud Mama 5th

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Blogging Buddies,

Bear with me as I adjust to my increased work schedule. Posts have been sporadic at best and I am having the most difficult time getting back into a routine after the holiday season. Until then, I will post when I can. 

Your MIA 5th

A Haiku and Miscellaneous Musings

Morning's grace
upon winds of change
heron glides

Daytime storms
shelter found in faith
heron rests

Mercy reigns
refining, cleansing
heron soars

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Early this morning, as I was leaving the house, our occasional visitor, a great blue heron, was gliding in the air above a nearby pond. Whenever I see him/her I am always reminded of God's majesty. Today was also host to some pretty stormy weather. These events were on my mind as I attempted to experiment with a "3-5-3" contemporary haiku format. Needs some work, although I am finding this a wonderful new writing challenge.

Guess what?!

My business cards came in. It's official. I am now a bona fide "Writer/Poet/Artist"

It must be true...my business card says so!



My hope is to work on an inventory this winter and be able to open up an Etsy shop by spring. I've already had a couple of clients interested in some commission work. I so appreciate the validation because I have the tendency of being my own worst critic.

I'm taking another blog break over Thanksgiving week. Be on the lookout for a really cool give-away upon my return. I promise...no crazy rules or jumping through hoops. A simple, straight forward give-away. It will make a wonderful gift for someone you love or for yourself. Really. Just you wait...you'll be glad you did!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am penning this late at night and it is past my bedtime. I require much slumber because, as you all well know, my dreams can be exhausting! Good night!
