Hold me...

some words have musicality that reaches your heart and mind and soul. Some have the power to stay.  

Years ago in college, I stumbled across a poem in an anthology. I don't remember the author or anthology or details around the poem. I am unsure of the author's actual subject or intent. 

For me, this poem is a prayer. An anthem. I don't even remember the exact title or versing. But, it's something I have repeated periodically over time. It reminds me of my Savior, Jesus Christ, and how I can reach out to Him for peace, comfort, and support amidst whatever is going on.

To whomever wrote it, I thank you.


Hold Me


Hold Me.

In this dark hour,

I am afraid of life.

I am afraid of


Everything 

But you.

Great poem - and so appropriate.

You will find Him holding you a great deal over the next week (+?)

Thank goodness for that solace. I hope you find it every day.

Let's Get It Started

Today I found a new online party planning resource . Holiday, birthday, bridal shower, baby shower, weddings, etc. It helps you create invitations or ecards, is customizable, offers list management and guest list management, sends event/birthday reminders, manages potluck sign up lists, links to Twitter and Facebook, helps you decide on a date, links to your e-calendar, links to party planning supplies, manages a to-do list, offers party planning ideas, hints and tips, and is pretty much amazing. In addition, it is free. I'm hooked.

Shot and Chaser

I did it! Today I braved a shot of wheat grass and am forever grateful to the Jamba Juice employee (Alexa) who recommended the orange juice shot as a chaser over an orange wedge. I'm not sure why today was such a momentous day. Wheat grass is something I've wanted to try for a while, but haven't dared do - kind of like my purchasing soy milk and hesitance to drink. (Thanks, Renee , for the recent soy smoothie introduction!) All I can say now is wow, wheat grass - talk about fresh!
