Political Hot Spot
There is nothing like politics in New Hampshire. When I first moved to the place, everyone told me about it, but when I first experienced it for myself, I understood. People take politics and their candidates very seriously. And because NH truly is state with small communities, during campaign season candidates turn up literally anywhere. […]
Celebratory Day
We had such a great celebratory day today. First we had a birthday party for my sister who is turning 50. She and her husband bought a farm last year and are preparing to get some chickens in the next few months. She has also already purchased all the special seeds for her garden, which […]

It’s Not About Me
This morning in prayer I was thinking about what it takes to best serve others with love. The words that came to my mind were, “It’s not about you.” It is truly freeing when I think about things in this way. If someone says something that hurts my feelings – It’s not about me. More […]
