Now Hear This

I've been trying to record my One Thousand Gifts (onethousandgifts.com) on my iphone app. I am pondering what it means to really live fully, every moment, every second...I think it means engaging the senses moment by moment and connecting them to the heart. It is hard to block out the noise, the "have to" moments and pay attention. 


My family and friends know that I am hard of hearing. Oh, I hear everything, I just can't understand what people are saying unless they are looking at me. Today I am focussing on the gift of hearing, hearing with "love colored glasses".

What gift did you "hear" today?

One Thousand Gifts

I don't remember who commented on Facebook about this book, but the title intrigued me so I read it. Just finished this morning. The message so beautifully, painfully, and lovingly imparted made my heart strings hum like Yo Yo Ma's cello.

An amazing writer, Ann Voskamp sought the answer to this Christian life deeply and well, and now challenges us to live fully, right where we are. Caution: If you don't want to change or have joy in your life, don't read this book.

Oh, by the way, you'll actually be wanting to wash dishes after you read just a few chapters. Trust me, you will. Find out about the thanksgiving challenge and start your list, too. I'm going to be posting mine on a separate page here.
