Hold It Loosely
It’s a blustery Friday afternoon, full of loveliness in the best of ways. We are settled in at home after an afternoon away at music lessons, and I was even able to restock my market booth before we returned. We relaxed for a little bit before eating crock pot chili, and then I was able…

The Hidden Goddess of Christianity | An Introduction
Spiritual living is something I investigate on a daily basis. In fact, studying religion has been one of my biggest hobbies for over a decade. At first, my study was confined within my expression of Orthodox Evangelical Christianity. As I began to see contradictions, my exploration moved into Messianic Christianity, then Judaism, Buddhism, Taoism, Pantheism,…
