No Locks on Our Family Doors
I’d rather have my home be a place of trust and boundaries than of locks and lies. No need to lock doors when we ask each other for respect
Whether to Reward for Actions or For Our Love of Them
A discussion arose between me and another member of my family about how to reward children and, perhaps, people in general. He contended that people should be rewarded for their efforts. And I stand for the idea that people should be rewarded for their character out of love. Many people are currently rotten parents to…
100 Days of Shalagh 2021 : Days 61 through 80
I am officially 80 percent complete with this year’s 100 Day Project. It started much earlier this Pandemic afflicted year and I appreciated that immensely. I was given a reason to be purposeful and remember how wonderful creating daily feels. And I won’t be dragging my art supplies off to my vacation unless I want…
Faith is So Much More Than God Trust, It is Life Trust
Faith is a loaded word. It suggests dogma and suffering. But I feel Faith holds so much more meaning than a belief in a higher power. Faith peppers our every day. Doesn’t it take faith to get up in the morning and assume you’ll be alive at the end of the day? Consider that you…
Faith or Trust :Which Sideline are You Standing on

I am near that place when I am writing from my heart. And I’m even closer when I am in a creative community engaged in creativity and supporting one another. Each of us has felt the tickle and the tug of this special place for ourselves. And yet, as we trust our logic and fear…
Faith In You Delivers You to You
I’ve visited the subject of Faith before and I felt the need to come and redefine it for myself today. Because the next phase of my life will rely on some wicked amounts of Faith driven work to deliver me through my goals. It’s OK to know and be terrified of what you need to…
My Word of the Year for 2018 : Trust
Let me start by saying that by March ’17 , I had abandoned my 2017 word of the year on the side of the road. It asked too much of me. Or should I say, it asked for inauthenticity. A fake it until you make it attitude I couldn’t buy into. My word was Courage…
Impatience Makes You Feel You’ve Already Failed
Have you ever you read something and thought immediately you needed that to be true for you too? Sooner than Later. My journey through blogging and self-discovery has set me face to face with so many options and ideas on how to be and do. And it would seem that I often did myself an…
