I loved the ice formations and water on my morning jaunt in the woods. For quite some time I’ve been practicing the art of noticing. Poet Mary Oliver says “Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.” Noticing beauty has brought me through many painful seasons. One of my favourite authors, Ann Voskamp, wrote a book called One Thousand Gifts and challenges people to find 1000 beautiful things in a year. This practice helps us notice the miracle in the ordinary.

The loss of a child is the most painful journey to take--the ache has no end in sight. I work with mamas who have lost their dear child. I've been that mama. It amazes me how love always wins even in the face of tragedy.

Amen. "She felt all the pain and kept choosing ." What a needed mantra for us all. Especially those of us who know and .

This piece is by my lovely friend and artist, Lori Portka. Her artwork is so beautiful and healing.

"Life is made up of moments; small pieces of glittering mica in a long stretch of gray cement. It would be wonderful if they came to us unsummoned, but in lives as busy as the ones most of us lead, that won't happen. We have to teach ourselves how to make room for them, to love them, and to live, really live." Anna Quindlen

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.” CS Lewis
