| Introduction | I am... a girl, a daughter, a sister, a woman, a wife, a mother, a musician... a homeschoolin', granola-crunchin', homebirthin', orthodox, Pro-Life, charismatic Catholic (and closet hippie!)... I am beloved by my Father in Heaven, and trying to let that Love live through me... I am here for a short time in the span of eternity, hoping to love and be loved without reservation, without fear... Listening everyday for that New Song in my children's laughter (and whines!), the clinks of pots and pans, and the sweet chord sounding in the word "Mama", I;m here to share my daily symphonies at this blog! |
