Moving Right Along

March 30, 2009Mary Jo5 Comments on Moving Right Along

It’s been a good weekend. I enjoyed Friday night’s beginning to the ladies seminar and my monologue went very well. The script was open ended which I love writing but it is harder for me to perform. I wanted to present enough of a need in the audience…

Holding Back

March 27, 2009July 7, 2020Mary Jo4 Comments on Holding Back

Young Ivan with strong furrowed brow,
Would laugh if he’d ever learned how.
He can chuckle and smirk,
But his giggles still lurk,
Holding back till his hurts take a bow.

The Adventure Continues

March 18, 2009Mary Jo5 Comments on The Adventure Continues

I did manage to accomplish a small project yesterday. I posted it on my Girls In Stitches site and I’m quite pleased. The only missing component on this wall hanging organizer is a way to hang it. I am thinking I can just stitch little loops on the ba…

No Bridge

March 6, 2009July 1, 2020Mary Jo5 Comments on No Bridge

A young girl from bright San Diego
longed to drive to far off Tobago
She was saddened a smidge
When she learned that no bridge

The Last Straw

March 3, 2009Mary Jo3 Comments on The Last Straw

I have been trying to come up with a skit for our Spring Seminar and running into road blocks along the way. I was able to write one for the Friday night service and I think it will go well. It’s about gifts, living in your own calling and not trying t…

February 21, 2009Mary Jo3 Comments on Total Woman Retreat 2009

Well, we were frugal. Due to some unexpected circumstances only two of the 6 girls who had said they were coming showed up last night. A third joined us this morning and we had a great time.

Make Shoes While the Sun’s Down

February 19, 2009Mary Jo7 Comments on Make Shoes While the Sun’s Down

I couldn’t sleep the night before last, so I cobbled. I had started these Mini Mary Jane’s for Tisra’s Adoption Fund and as it seemed impossible to rest I worked on finishing them instead. I got most of it done then and finished off the details yesterd…

I Can’t Believe It….

February 17, 2009Mary Jo4 Comments on I Can’t Believe It….

…I was on TV! If you’ve watched Monster’s Inc. you will remember Mike Wazowski’s exclamation after seeing himself in a commercial. Though his face was covered by logos and brands his excitement was unaffected. I felt a little like that this morning…

Spinning

January 4, 2009Mary Jo4 Comments on Spinning

I have whirly twirly ideas spinning in my head and I need a break. I start to get overwhelmed by them and feel guilty for not acting on them…regardless of their ridiculous nature. I’ve started passing my ideas on to other people lately, in hopes that…

And t…
