The birds on the wire

Inspiration is right there.

It occurred to me, while reading my friend Karla's blog, that inspiration is all around. Karla created a beautiful card after a shopping trip to Pier 1.

An apron inspired her. An apron. And so, it made me think: Inspiration is there at almost every turn. Perhaps we should mark the moments. Perhaps we should notice the birds on the telephone wire.

About Me

Vicki: I am: A believer and a follower of Jesus Christ. A wife to an incredible husband, a mom of great kids, one who notices the shape of trees, a violinist, for now - a former corporate executive, a season ticket-holder, a chef with a fabulous O'Keefe and Merrit stove, a walker, dog-lover, leader, follower, teacher, listener, gatherer. And the frosting: surrounded by great friends. To be sure, my life is about God at the center. This blog reflects God with me in the day to day. My other blog, Grace stacked on grace, goes directly to the places I stretch and grow in my faith.
