I have redeployed the Toujours theme on my blog to lighten things up for the season. Summer is coming and things are supposed to be brighter so I wanted to reflect that. Everything is bigger on this theme so reading and viewing pictures will be easier too.
Now is a good time to spruce things up and to post about what you are up to these days. Reconnecting during warmer months is always fun. Enjoy and keep on blogging my friends.
I am reminded of so many stories in life where amazing things are done when people are welcomed. Hospitality means a lot and it can change the world. Making people feel at home and comforted can go a long way in building relationships and promoting peace. In scripture Jesus welcomed many and was welcomed into homes to share a meal and his ideas. In so many religions hospitality is an important part of what they are about. Today hospitality is an industry with hotels, motels and people renting out a room so someone has a roof over their head for a night or more. It’s good to be hospitable but it goes both ways. Never wear out your welcome and do your part to make others feel affirmed and secure. Always make room at the inn and at the table.
To mothers in the United States and around the world you have my respect and admiration. This is a time to recognize those who play the role of mother in various forms. Mothers are biological, adoptive, spiritual, surrogate and so much more. For some, this is a difficult time because of the nature of their relationships with their own mothers so I hope they have found someone to fill in. Grace and peace and love to you all.
It’s hard to settle on something when you wanna experiment with everything. There are all sorts of cool things that are worth trying out and it makes it hard to decide on one thing you like above all else. Clothes, shoes, electronics, makeup, food and so much more are all things that make one curious and adventurous. There does come a time when you need to settle down and stick with something. It is worth it to see what is out there but you can’t do that for very long because the number of your days is growing shorter by the minute.
It’s good to have a careful balance of madness and magic in your life. A fellow blogger helped point that out to me today. We all need to be crazy when called upon but we need to make special things happen and to do magic when needed. I am a believer in magic that comes from ordinary things happening to make things better. Without it we are all in a bit of a quandary in life.
Be magic, be mad, be yourself!
Good noise means good things done.
