Have you heard about this anti-speeding ad over in Australia?
Body art... which says it in so many ways. I LOVE collaboration especially when it is working for the good and care of each other.
And talking about collaboration... if you want to get involved in something larger than yourself and not have to go anywhere or coordinate anything, and you are female... check this out. I am praying for Lindsay from Mississippi for the next 14 days. She and her hubby are waiting to adopt. Someone just might be waiting for you to pray for them too.

One of the inspired organizers is Berene Campbell of Happy SEW Lucky who is a member of the Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild. So pleased to be associated with such a quality group of people!
You know you are special when you get invited into someones very very private creative space.
Thank you Summer Anne Burton for opening these doors and letting us peak in at our leisure.
I'm posting this just so I can find this link in a wink to look back to again and again.
From tiny writing desks to giant painting studios, the only thing all of these creative studios have in common is that they inspired their successful inhabitants to create greatness.
At the end of the day, when I am lying in bed and I know the chances of any of our theology being exactly right are a million to one, I need to know that God has figured it out, that if my math is wrong we are still going to be okay. And wonder is that feeling we get when we let go of our silly answers, our mapped out rules that we want God to follow. I don't think there is any better worship than wonder.

Someone else posted this quote on their blog and it soothed my soul to be reminded. Thought I'd pay it forward in case you needed it too.
It's raining and dreary today. When I was a kid and we needed a bit of a lift we'd always page through an old National Geographic to remind us that it is not raining everywhere. Now it's so easily accessable. Thank you internets.
The Cherry blossoms are out over here and over there...
This past weekend we have had heavenly weather! I mean that the sun was shining for consecutive days! So, in our parts, when the sun comes out you absolutely go outside!! No ray can be wasted if possible!
The first thing on order was cleaning up the garden and the lawn. When that day was done and the sun continued to shine into the next one as well I just knew I had to tackle washing the front of my house!!! I have these wonderful, wonderful windows that are too high for me to get at with a ladder sooooo... I tackled them with a brush that looks similar to this.
I don't know why I don't do it more often when I get a chance. Gee, it felt so good to wash the spider webs and accumulated dirt away. Just as good as therapy. I was on a high for the rest of the day. Not sure if it was the extra day of sun or the clean front of the house. Either way, it worked for me.
"True Strength: My Journey from Hercules to Mere Mortal And How Nearly Dying Saved My Life"
I spent the evening sewing little kimono shirts for charity while listening to an audio book from my public library. Downloading audio books for free is genius! If you haven't checked into it you should! The book I'm listening to now... 'True Strength" by Kevin Sorbo. My kids used to watch the TV show Hercules when they got home from school which afforded me time to cook dinner. My favourite bios are of people who have high quality standards and possibly, after my house washing, I'm feeling a little bit of a Herculean spirit both inside and out, plus, ... I love a man who loves his wife.
Tidbits: He only needs four hours of sleep a night -- really???!! His fiancee Sam takes him to church with her. She's got her head on straight. She reads some of the chapters in the book as well. I'm halfway through and already recommending it.
