One of the best parts of being a parent is that I can fix things. Like a caped crusader I can kiss a boo boo, find a lost blankie, provide comforting arms when their scared. But I’m an extremely limited ...

MY INSTA-HAPPENINGS

“Friends are like training wheels for a bike, th “Friends are like training wheels for a bike, they always keep you from falling down.” -Jerry Craft, the New Kid. The true test of a story is not the nobility of it’s content, but how many times a child falls into the escape of it’s pages to find refuge and joy on every dog eared page. New Kid, Class Act (and soon to be released Class Trip) are exceptional stories in graphic novel and audio book. As a writer with a passion for diverse literature, I was thrilled when New Kid hit our library shelves. But as a mom, I loved watching this story hook my young readers again and again. Story is a powerful tool in the hearts and minds of a child. Too often we (the grown ups) make it too boring, serious or hard to be swept away into world of imagination. Mr. Craft has woven a witty world and tender story into his vibrant graphic novels that give an uplifting perspective on middle school. What a pleasure to meet @jerrycraft and his lovely wife today in Arlington. Thank you @arlingtontxlib for this moment.
The last of the summer blueberries went into my fa The last of the summer blueberries went into my favorite muffins. Perfect for a chilly morning-I love this recipe (the secret is white vinegar and sour cream.) its become my no fail go-to when I need to bake. I typically have extra topping that works well on my banana bread too! Copycat Starbucks Muffins by Dorothy Kern TOPPING: * ¾ cups all-purpose flour * ¾ cup granulated sugar * ¼ teaspoon salt * 5 tablespoons unsalted butter softened MUFFINS: * 2 large eggs * 1 cup granulated sugar * ½ cup vegetable oil * 1 tablespoon vanilla extract * 1 teaspoon white vinegar * 1 teaspoon baking soda * ½ teaspoon salt * 1 cup sour cream * 2 cups all purpose flour * 1 cup blueberries wild or regular sized, fresh or frozen but defrosted and drained. https://www.crazyforcrust.com/starbucks-copycat-blueberry-muffins/#wprm-recipe-container-41341
“The future belongs to those who believe in the “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” -Eleanor Roosevelt In 2019, a dear friend called to ask me to help @saradaniellehill who’d written a book. I love these moments, and introduced Sara Hill into our @arthousedallas community where we bring our dreams and far fetched ideas into a space that nourishes them until they grow to life. Hope in the Darkness was the first step in her vision to encourage the soul and hearts of medical professionals. Sara has faithfully poured herself into the vision God sparked inside her throughout the pandemic and beyond. Today, she launched Spirit Lead Me and has grown a thriving ministry (Undercurrents) in multiple locations.
We’ve loved robotics since Sophia introduced us We’ve loved robotics since Sophia introduced us to the sport in 2014. The wise and wonderful Mr. Brodernick got us hooked on First Lego League. It’s a supercharged combo of science fair, speech contest and robotics competition. Isaac’s been a fan of this program for years and we’re extremely thankful to Stephen and Kristen McConnell, original UME robotics students and new parents, who took on the epic task of introducing a new generation to this rewarding sport. The Top Gun Mad Bricks are 10 incredible fourth graders experiencing the sensory roller coaster of fear, panic and pride that is an FLL competition. Thank you Wilson Peppard for teaching us about local electricity. Thank you Sophia for cheering on your little brother as he finds his own path. Thank you Isaac for trusting me with your team. Coaching robotics is WAY out of my comfort zone but doing hard things with your kids reap priceless memories.
Time is such a precious and fleeting gift. I’m g Time is such a precious and fleeting gift. I’m grateful for tools that help me steward my days with grace, purpose, and prayer. “Liturgy + Intent is a journal that provides space to craft and consciously capture deeper held beliefs, personal vision and pattern toward a life of intention. As pilgrims caught between our eternal design and our limited mortality we are wise to create navigational guides to aid our passage.” Millie Watters @culturecitizen
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, fa I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
    And wild and sweet
    The words repeat 
Of peace on earth, good-will to men! And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
    Had rolled along
    The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men! Till ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
    A voice, a chime,
    A chant sublime 
Of peace on earth, good-will to men! Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
    And with the sound 
    The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men! It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent,
    And made forlorn
    The households born
Of peace on earth, good-will to men! And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said;
    "For hate is strong,
    And mocks the song 
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!" Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
    The Wrong shall fail,
    The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men." Christmas Bells Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Picture by @michellendjerareou
“We are the music makers,     And we are the “We are the music makers,     And we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea-breakers,     And sitting by desolate streams; — World-losers and world-forsakers,     On whom the pale moon gleams: Yet we are the movers and shakers     Of the world for ever, it seems.” By Arthur O’Shaughnessy This weekend a few of our faithful dreamers got to celebrate new love and a new friend in Shannon’s beloved Tyler. To many more nights of laughter, song, and story together dear ones.
