What’s filling your mind?

March 11, 2013 by Amelia

Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.

Beat the Blahs – Day 2

January 24, 2011 by Amelia

Learn something new Two winters ago, after years of trying, I finally learned how to knit. The problem with my first attempts was timing – I was in college or I was pregnant. But January 2009 proved to be the winning attempt. Winter is the perfect time to learn a new skill. The rush of […]
