In with the New

By admin | Published: January 4, 2012

Yesterday I told you about the project that I finished up to say good-bye to 2011. The best thing about that is saying hello to my first project of 2012. Of course, it is knitting. But, it is proving to be a bit of a challenge. I suppose there are some knitters out there who [...]

Out with the Old

By admin | Published: January 3, 2012

Amy at the CMP gave me this idea a few years ago. I thought it sounded like a keeper, but at that time I had two very little boys and taking time when they were with me was not a possibility. Now, they are 5 and 6 and things are better….a little….:)! The idea was [...]

Healing

By admin | Published: December 30, 2011

Things have been very quiet here on R&TM. This, again, was unintentional. This time it lasted longer than usual and there have been times that I wondered if I would leave things this way. This blog has become sacred space for me. A place where I can be me…the me that loves to create but [...]

Infinite Thanksgiving

By admin | Published: November 21, 2011

Seven years ago today I sat staring out the window thinking that I would never have a baby. We had been through months of infertility and I was losing my mind on Clomid. Fast forward…..two days later, Thanksgiving. I found out I would be a mom. That was a day of infinite thanksgiving. Ten months [...]

You Want to Discuss Religion….I am not afraid!

By admin | Published: November 15, 2011

My educational background is in Religion. I came to this in a fairly roundabout way, but all and all, it has become my passion. I have a ridiculous collection of books….everything from classic theologians to much more modern ways of viewing the church and specifically mission. I run not to music but to religious dialogue. [...]

The opposite of war isn’t peace…..It’s Creation!!!

By admin | Published: November 14, 2011

I have been quiet around R&TM lately. I hate that. Sitting here at my keyboard is as therapeutic for me as I imagine the piano is for many musicians. I write, I edit, I design, I compile…it doesn’t matter what it is, I love it and it gives me so much peace. I love the [...]

There are No Words

By admin | Published: November 13, 2011

Today my mom would be 60 years old. There are no words to describe how much I wish I could tell her Happy Birthday and go to dinner with her, my sisters, our families and let her enjoy the evening with her grandchildren. I am not sure mom ever thought about what her 60th year [...]

A Holiday for ME….JOY!

By admin | Published: November 3, 2011

I heard on the radio today that it is National Housewife Day. It made me laugh. I made the very difficult choice (for me, anyway) to stop working when I had my second baby. December 15, 2006 was my last day of work. I had a one day year old and a 16 month old. [...]

The Time is Now

By admin | Published: October 12, 2011

When we got married eleven years ago, I said, “I will never live in Oklahoma City.” What did I tell you, this is a chronic problem for me. Law Man and I were going somewhere exciting. We wanted to meet new people and have new experiences. I dreamed of a urban area where everyone we [...]
