A Writing I Shall Go

Welcome to my "writing room." It's about 90% organized and ready. Smile with me as I give you a tour and show you some of the things in it that make me smile.

My friend, Susan, and I were talking to our friend, Molly, suggesting she create a place in her home to be her little corner of the world. A special place where she can go and find rest, peace, solitude and inspiration. Where she can pray, meditate, hope and control her thoughts and actions to help her be a Godly woman.


                 I love my new chair and ottoman, a delight I didn't have room for in Maryland.

Whether it's a chair in a corner, a small closet, a window seat or a small room, I believe you'll greatly enrich your life to hide away by yourself and fill your heart and mind in your own little corner of the world.

I'm hoping Molly took our suggestion and now has a special place of her own.

                   I have my note writing posters on the wall to remind me of my service to God.

I was fortunate to have the smallest bedroom in our home in Maryland for my writing room. And with this move, I have another room, a tad bigger, where I can go to be encouraged, write, read and create.

The baskets hold my note writing cards and matted prints. I'm surrounded by those things I enjoy doing.
                                                                             

This ten dollars was the first sale of my note writing book!

  At my desk I have my collection of Eeyore, my favorite storybook character. He and I are kindred spirits. He always makes me smile.

On the side of the bookcase where I sit at the computer is Eeyore, of course, pictures of my desk as a girl with my teddy bear and doll friends, Abby and Jo when we first got them at 12 weeks, a cartoon that says: "My therapy is quite simple; I wag my tail and lick your face until you feel good about yourself again.", two friends eating chocolate that says: "The only thing better than a good friend is a good friend with a box of chocolates.", and a picture of me with my first note writing poster holding my book.

Mom painted the doll and put hair on her; next to her is an angel of Hope, my friend, Karla's "Give Thanks" art and, of course, a fawn (not mine).

The little train I had as a young girl, and my charm bracelet of life.

Faith, Hope & Love is on the little pillow, and the cream throw was a gift from my Sunday School class and has a cross and personalized with Proverbs 11:25. That's my special scripture verse for my note writing ministry.

My friend, Kathy's, snap of a chair in her garden sitting with the hydrangea; a figurine my childhood friend, Linda, gave me when we moved, and a girl friend cupcake, and, yes, that's the birds around the mailbox I posted last week on the side of the book case right where I can see it in my new chair.

I hope you enjoyed my little tour! Now I need to meet and make friends in this new land I've been brought to. For my true happiness comes from fulfilling my gift of note writing to encourage others with the amazing and awesome love and joy that only comes through faith in Christ.

And I'm excited to say we may have found our church home. We visited a number of churches in the area and the last one seems to be the right fit!
