Articles from March 2017

This photo was taken at the funeral we attended today. In the blurry flurry of emotions, feelings, relationships, sadness, joy, memories and all the other things that are part of a funeral, I believe the crowd of people who gather to sing, pray, visit, hug, share and listen, properly embody today’s word. Encourage!

At Christmas our family received perpetual calendars from Ten Thousand Villages, which feature a word for each day of the month (as you can see below). My plan for the month of March is to take a photo each day that in some way, at least in my own mind, relates to that word. I fully expect to fail, but that won’t stop me from carrying on.
The word for the 1st of the month is Cherish. You can see my Cherish photo below. It evokes all kinds of “cherish” for me – Eileen, laughter, memories, food, partnership, shared experiences, stories, conversation.
