About

THE BLOG
As a kid did you pick dandelions and violets to present as a gift to your mom or someone else you loved? I did. This blog comes from my “grown-up” version of the same impulse – gathering up beauty created by God as an offering of wonder and love, tapping into child-like joy in sharing bouquets made up from the stuff of life, connecting with people who seek the beauty, truth, and goodness for which they are made.

I hope and pray that by engaging with one another through this blog we will discover graceful intersections of our holy ordinary and extraordinary selves!
