Sweetness …

It is beginning to thunder outside my bedroom window … the 100 year old pane is braced open .. and the girls and I are listening to the rain begin to fall through the branches and new-budding leaves of the old maple tree that stretches out towards my window. I love a beautiful spring rain … bringing forth the greens & vivid colours of our natural landscapes … it’s so soothing for the soul, as well … like a little washing from Heaven …

 

We can all use that washing once in a while, can’t we? Tonight, a group of my girlfriends and I are getting together and spending some time in prayer & conversation (and good food!).  I realized the other week that we often carry such heavy burdens on our shoulders alone and very rarely do we have time to *really* share with others – who care very much – how much of a burden we bare. Some burdens may seem small to others, but to you, it’s a big deal. And it hurts to carry stress and pain alone. So tonight, we are bonding, underneath the rain and the thunder from Heaven, to help each other out, to pray for each other and to lift up our needs to the Heavens.

Here’s a sneak peek for one of my lovely, awesome clients, Lita, who has worked with me for years now. 🙂 

Her family has been so blessed to welcome their new little girl into the world … Baby Alexandra … who surprised us all by weighing 10.1 lbs at birth! Lita, you deserve an award!  Hee hee!

 

She’s so beautiful!
