One of the simplest handmade tree ornaments is a spiral. You can make them in different sizes by tracing different round objects&#8211; for instance, jar lids of several different sizes; or a teacup, a mug, and a saucer. The larger the circle, the longer the dangle from the tree [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lightwithspirit.wordpress.com&blog=1926227&post=150&subd=lightwithspirit&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Hardly seems possible, but over the weekend, I heard the first TV commercial this year to give the countdown to Christmas&#8230; even before Labor Day. It gets earlier every year.
I don&#8217;t mind much, since I love Christmas and I read about it, buy gifts for friends and make plans for holiday [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lightwithspirit.wordpress.com&blog=1926227&post=129&subd=lightwithspirit&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

This portrayal of Mary Magdelene is in a small  out-of-the-way gallery in the L&#8217;ouvre. I was moved by the sadness in her face, and at the same time comforted by her peaceful resignation. It&#8217;s also extraordinary because it is a nude. It is carved in wood, apparently from one tree, then burnished, painted and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lightwithspirit.wordpress.com&blog=1926227&post=118&subd=lightwithspirit&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

At the end of May, my husband and I took a weekend trip to &#8220;Shakespeare country&#8221;  It&#8217;s only about an hour and half&#8217;s drive, but we meandered a bit, took our time and enjoyed country roads with gorgeous vistas in every direction.

It&#8217;s interesting. I&#8217;ve wanted all these years to erase the line between spiritual life and everyday life, and I&#8217;ve  just realized that choosing these paint colours is an example of what I&#8217;ve been trying to do. 
Seems pretty mundane, deciding what colour to paint a room. But it&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=lightwithspirit.wordpress.com&blog=1926227&post=97&subd=lightwithspirit&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
