Water, and more specifically the ocean, is a powerful symbol of God for me. The tide rolling in and out, stormed tossed seas, ripples that barely mark the shore, they all tell me something about my relationship with the Divine. I go to the beach when I have something to celebrate, when I have something…
This is part of one of the most walkable neighbourhoods in the city of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Called The Hydrostone Market it is part of the North End, an area which has become increasingly attractive over the years. After years of being the poor cousin of the rest of Halifax, it has become a haven for…
I signed up for the WordPress Photo Challenge, an invitation to post a photo every day. The theme for today was home, what evokes a sense of home. To me nothing says ‘home’ like a stack of books to read. Even though I have a tablet that I often use to read on, especially at…
1. First, Sweet or Salty? Or both? Describe that gotta-have-it treat. (It can be healthy or paleo-friendly, or decadent. We won’t judge!) It’s always SALTY for me. Lays plain chips. 2. Self-control: How do you help yourself stay strong with the temptation of All That Sugar? Sugar is not the problem, but don’t expect a bag of…
I belong to revgalblogpal.org, a supportive community for clergy women. On Fridays, we play Friday Five, this is the first time I am playing. 1. How do you sign off in your emails, professional and personally? Professionally: In Faith… Personally, it varies from person to person. 2. If you were an animal TODAY, what is…
My husband and I signed up for a stained glass class with Lynette Richards of Rose Window Stained Glass last spring. We were unable to make the final class in June and Lynette graciously told us that we could come back and finish anytime that was convenient for us over the summer. The summer of my sabbatical stretched out…
I have spent lots of time in my gardens this summer. I have discovered just how physically demanding gardening is and how sedentary my life usually is. The most demanding thing has been moving plants and edging the borders. We thought that hiring a landscaper last year to design and lay out the gardens made…
This is entrance to the labyrinth at the Singing Sands Inn. I didn’t realize when I started down the path that it was an unfamiliar design to me, a two-mouthed Baltic Wheel Labyrinth or Goddess Labyrinth. The labyrinth was one of the reasons I chose to stay at Singing Sands Inn on my recent Photography Trip to…
It was the first day of my three month sabbatical and seemed like the perfect opportunity to connect with other women outside of my church, to spend time outdoors in a beautiful setting, and to stretch my comfort zone by drumming. Heather Pentz was the retreat leader; I met her when she drummed for You…
I drive past Camp Hill Cemetery quite regularly in my travels around Halifax, and as a minister, I have occasionally presided at graveside or committal services there. Camp Hill Cemetery is the second oldest cemetery in Halifax, the final resting place for many of the city’s elite; you can read more about it here. I have…
