I have created a new blog for totally random reasons but I thought I would start with a photo of poppies as they are one of my favourite flowers.  A bunch of poppies can look quite ugly until the flower emerges from the pod.  There was a time in my life when I felt stuck in that pod, wanted to burst out of a shell and reflect part of the beauty of God.  It took me a while to feel like that pod no longer described me.  I am a wife, a mother, a Christian and I enjoy thinking and writing about issues connected with being this woman.  So, I plan to write about marriage, parenting, my relationship with God, books, walking, quilting and other random stuff, because sometimes I think about totally random things.  I will eventually close my old blog, but will continue writing similar things on this new blog.  You are welcome to read, comment or ask me to write about something that you would like me to write.
