Find Me in a Tree

 

I always speak fondly of my relationship with inanimate objects.  The fondness is an extension of my relationship with living objects like people, plants, and TREES!  I love me some trees!  I can’t name just one thing, its  a bunch of things. I feel like trees are silent witnesses to the recording of life.  They are wise. They are ancient.  They have such endurance.  They are grounded and strong.   They have roots.  They are connected to something bigger.  They look really cool.  They grow.  Their leaves can be evergreen or change colors. They protect themselves.  They provide shade.  They provide shelter. They are landmarks. They re-generate.  Even when they are destroyed, they turn into mulch and  paper, which can be recycled.

Over the years, I’ve turned into a good ole fashioned tree hugger.  No matter how old I get, I hope I’ll always be able to semi-climb one.  I feel like they can transfer energy.  Touching a tree is one of my favorite ways to ground.

I have severe allergies, and there is only so much exposure to them I can handle.  Living in NC is the most beautiful lush green oasis of trees.  It is also unkind and not friendly to my sinus cavity.  All that having been said, I seldom let it stop me from loving on a tree.

On any random outdoor adventure, you’re likely to find me, in a tree.  It’s the happiest of places I’ll be.



Wishing you abundance always!

Sing Unto the Lord

  Sing Unto the Lord This was the name of the songbook in the Pentecostal Church I grew up in. It was my favorite songbook.   It was the only songbook I knew. During COVID, I ordered a copy of it to teach my children the hymns I grew up singing. To my dismay, the organization changed the songs that were listed. It was an abbreviated version of my childhood memory. Singing has always been one of my favorite things.  It makes me happy.   I love music, and I love to sing. I always wanted to be a jazz soloist. I don’t have a strong soloist voice, but I can carry a tune.   I’m an efficient backup/choir singer. It never stopped me from grabbing the mic in church or at Karaoke. Most of my adult life I’ve sat on the back pew and absorbed the goodness of God.   During covid, we weren’t going to church at all. No one was. I was inspired to sing and write like never before.   I’ve written so many poems and songs over the last 4 years. Most of whi...

The Universe

  This week I had a conversation with a friend.   Our paths have intertwined on various levels and paths over the years. We both have always subscribed to manifesting and abundance.   I discovered recently that she too is renewing her faith in Jesus.   We are both being revived in the faith. We discussed the layers of “new thought” and it's   place in God’s plan. She shared with me some revelations about several conversations that we’ve previously had. I thought back over my entire journey.   I grew up underneath the church pew.   As a young adult I got distracted but returned to my faith in a fringe capacity.   I permanently occupied the “backsliders’ row” on the church pew. When I was far from the cross, I missed the discipline of faith.   I missed the inspiration,  promise of abundance, and prosperity that results in   being sprit filled.   When I was introduced to meditation and  manifesting,   I found gre...

Make Hay

  This summer I took two courses.   Math and Business Ethics. I felt drained mentally.   The last 8 weeks went by like a slow-motion blink. I had joy.   Good things happened, but it just felt exhausting. One positive thing that occurred was my involvement with my new church. It’s in its infancy stages and everything is new and exciting.   The people, the passion, and the mission.   It has rekindled faith and promise in me that had solidified on a back burner somewhere. This week I was inspired to write.   I wrote a song.   I wrote two poems.   I wrote a presentation for a motivational speech I will soon deliver. I returned to my blog. The irony about taking Math and Business Ethics is that I really do know math conceptually, and I do have ethics, figuratively.   However, after fundamental applications were required in the processing of both math and ethics, I was struggling. Literally struggling.   Thin...
