It's the brainchild of Rachel Reeves and Heather Hamilton, so you can bet it's stylish and quirky and all flushed with love.
I find myself gravitating toward people with open hearts, these days. I like real and flawed and grace washed. I like a little messy, some grit along with the gleam, and I find it all there. It's a community for me and for you where we'll be challenged to slow down, take notice, bask in what already is, create as an offering.
A couple of weeks ago, clawing for sleep that stayed just out of reach, I bared my soul and my heart and all of my weird, neurotic fears and failures to God. It was different from most of the prayers I pray and now there's just no going back.
I wrote about it here.
you're just plain awesomeness my friend

ReplyDeleteps. why does it say i commented at 7:25pm? are you in the pacific time zone??? i don't think so(?).
ReplyDeleteBeing real, is the only way.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to check it out!!
ReplyDeleteI commented on your FB page and again want to say THANKS for the Marisa de los Santos recommendation! I am IN LOVE with her writing.
She reminds me a lot of my best pal.
Mexico was healing...looking forward to taking my gritty and messy self OVA to this site!
HOLLA, xx, oo, LOL, USA (stole that from a "New Adventures of Old Christine" episode I saw in Mexico. It was in english. My spanish is nothin to be proud of. )
"I like real and flawed and grace washed"
ReplyDeleteI like that sentence. And didn't even know that was what I liked until I read it. Thank you for shaping that thought in my mind.
Love how you always know the fun, new things! Off to read.
ReplyDeleteI'm drawn to real and gritty, too.
ReplyDeleteI love how honest and open you are :)
I think Becky from farmgirl paints is contributing over there, too. I can't wait to add another blog to my list of weekly reads. :)
ReplyDeleteAm totally inspired to read a blog full of words from christian women. In a country where christianity is often not valued, it feels like a haven of truth. x
ReplyDeleteOoh! I've just started browsing around, and I'm already so excited about this new project!!
ReplyDeleteYou've always been open and honest and funny but you've morphed a bit lately. Maybe it's the move, I dunno. I've gone from casual reader to full on junkie.
ReplyDeleteso i heard a rumor you are coming to my hometown on saturday to visit a new store!!! since i was pathetic enough to skip out on the nappannee gig, maybe i could be a bit braver in my neck of the woods?? when are you comin? if the rumor i heard is true that is?????
ReplyDeleteYou have an amazing ability to blend words together in a way that makes me want to hold onto your sentences and save them for later when I need something to enlighten me. Your words are like a painting...full of life and truth. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSo excited that you are going to be a contributor for this blog!! I started reading it a few weeks ago from the link on your sidebar and fell in love!
