Politics, Spotlight ArtistBy Melissa KirkAugust 10, 2015Leave a comment

…456 days until Election Day… There are more pressing dates than the next presidential election. There’s this school year and the start of next. Twelve Federal holidays. A full football, baseball, basketball, hockey, and soccer season between now and then. There’s next summer’s vacation and the 2016 Summer Olympics. We’ve got to get through all the…

ArtForm: Overflow! And Beautiful Handcrafted Cards

Spotlight Artist, Thoughts of a Grace WarriorBy Melissa KirkJuly 26, 20151 Comment

Most people want to help others. In order to do so, we have to have something to give. Something we can share that pulls a person up, dusts them off, and pats them on the back. A fabric of our being that enables us to hug their neck, shed a tear with them, and encourage until they can’t…

This past week, Larry and I took a mini vacation to visit my sister in Vicksburg, Mississippi.

Thoughts of a Grace WarriorBy Melissa KirkJuly 12, 2015Leave a comment

When something hurtful happens, we might think, “This is it. I can’t go on. Things will never be the same.” Those statements are partially true. After all, the pain is now, our world changed course, and the territory ahead looks very unfamiliar. Life is kind of like a book, though. With the book open, we read along, turning the pages,…

It’s your day, so let’s talk about you! You are in this moment. Yesterday has passed and tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. Today is your time. You are unique.

Some days are easier than others. During the work week, you may hit the snooze button on the 6:00 am alarm three times. But on the first day of that special road trip? You’ve grown impatient waiting for the same 6:00 am alarm to sound. There’s those exciting days when we celebrate the arrival of new life, or first steps,…

Bird Watching…   Struggling?  Write this at the top of your to do list: “Don’t go it alone”. In order to prosper, you need help. Your task might require physical strength that you don’t have. Perhaps you need insight from someone with experience in matters you know nothing about. Finances might be a hurdle you’re having trouble…

Have you ever been in “ON HOLD” mode? You’ve planned, worked hard, danced three steps forward -two steps back, and seen the light at the end of the tunnel. You’ve rechecked your list, raised the bar, tweaked, and polished away the imperfections. You’re almost there. Then, things beyond your control happen. Someone else’s schedule takes…
