The Oncoming Storm

Beautiful Anguilla

I much prefer this kind of storm to the one that’s coming our way tonight. This storm had warm winds, rain that cooled hot skin, and turbulent green-blue water. This other one, Pax, is supposedly going to have lots of cold white stuff that just keeps coming to the tune of 8-12 inches. And I know that I should have a good attitude, love whatever comes my way, but I’m just not there. So I’ll do my usual distraction technique and look at pictures like this, pretend, dream, and before I know it, Pax will be a memory. For those of you who love snow, my apologies. For those of you who are feeling like me, happy dreaming. 😉 Slainte, Lisa

Fairytale Flora

Posted on February 10, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

Growing in a magical garden, bigger than life, set apart for a time while we walked there…flora from a fairytale. May your Monday be green and growing, if not in colours then in love. Slainte, Lisa

*All pictures taken at Blarney Castle Gardens, County Cork Ireland. Although a huge tourist attraction, it is definitely worth a visit even for the gardens alone. 🙂

Truly Beautiful

Peace, joy, beauty…isn’t that what we all seek? I watched this video this morning, and it moved me. I hope it does the same for you. I pray your day is truly beautiful, that you feel truly alive, and that the grace of God surrounds you today. Slainte, Lisa

Coming ‘Round the Bend

Posted on February 3, 2014 by lyonsroarforgod

One of my favorite things about traveling in Ireland is the wonderful towns and villages. You come around the bend, and presto! A whole town of brightly painted buildings with shops, pubs and groceries to explore. This is Portmagee, a great little town in Kerry that we used as our home base for 3 weeks. Portmagee is the place to catch a boat tour out to the Skelligs, has some great little pubs/cafes, and a tiny but efficiently stocked grocery.

We would walk down to the village some days, buy some groceries, and the kids would undoubtedly get a “99”, a delectable soft ice cream cone with a Flake bar stuck in the top for the walk home. By the end of the three weeks, we felt like it was a home away from home, and we were sad to see it fade in our rear-view mirrors.

Enjoy your little village today; big or small. Slainte, Lisa

OK, all you wanna-be Nancy Drews and Hardy Boys! Here’s a mystery for you…where was this photograph taken? All valid guesses will be listened to…you may not be right, but you will be listened to. Have a wonderful weekend filled with little wonders and mysteries. Slainte, Lisa
