Sun Worshipers Rejoice!
The many slices of time and season that God gives us are so fascinating! A time for everything, for every purpose under heaven.
Humilspiration (Blogger Event)
(hyoo-mil-spur-A-shun), noun
resulting from gentle exposure
to brilliant, accomplished people
who are willing to share their passion.
Early on in the event’s planning stages I stuck my neck out and offered to host, trying to conceal the truth that I just meant to cement my attendance. I mean, eventually someone was bound to realize this *crazy* Lazy W lady was pretending to fit into the “real bloggers” club and then promptly revoke my welcome card. Have you ever seen Catch Me if You Can? Kind of like that. But if I was hosting, well… then my chances for retaining my invite just greatly improved.
But Mia was rude and inappropriate with Brooke. (So sorry for that.. but Pacino did think it was funny.)
Another guest was a kind of local celebrity, Katie from Dishin and Dishes. She is a food blogger who appears weekly on Rise and Shine Oklahoma. She is also in the final stages of writing a book surveying all the best local restaurants in Oklahoma! This will definitely be on my Christmas shopping list next December.
These ladies showered me lavishly with unnecessary but much appreciated hostess gifts. The funny thing is they didn’t know it’s also my birthday week, woo-hoo!
Possibility for Oklahoma, my heart’s homeland.
of creativity and sharing.
“Blog drunk, edit sober.” Solid advice, ladies. Solid.
In a nutshell, it was one of those times when life shows you exactly how much you don’t know but simultaneously offers you a chance to learn it all. And to learn it through some really delicious connections.
I am whole heartedly looking forward to the next event and expect to see some of you between now and then, too. Thanks again for visiting the Lazy W, thanks for the gifts, thanks for the generous exchanges. Best wishes to everyone this spring and summer!
Birds of a Feather Can Still Be Mighty Different.
And That is Very Good.

Urgent Prayer Request for Savannah
Quiet Beauty Abounds
I went on a short walk through the forest today, after all the work was done, between luxurious bursts of cold rain, and was overwhelmed by the quiet beauty there. The earth was spongy. The trees were soaked, leaves dripping and limbs nearly black. The breeze sent this fresh, ozone like fragrance through every open air space. Deer paths were easier to find today too.
Nothing fought for my attention. I just walked and admired and said inward thanks for everything that thrives without our “help.”
God is so good. In the dark of a deciduous grove just around the corner from Yoga Meadow, I discovered three different flowering trees. They glowed against the pine trees and dormant blackjacks. I couldn’t resist bringing home enough branches to fill one vase.
Then I circled the grove once more, then the meadow, then home where the horses welcomed me with that weird attitude of indignation they have anytime we leave.
I hope you have time to go quietly absorb some natural beauty today. What you find today might be fleeting.
XOXOXO
