Would You Rather…The Teaser

Would you rather…

….go paragliding    paraglide    or

….fly in an open cockpit airplane?planeAnd you have to pick one!  This is a short teaser of tomorrow’s post.  It was going to be today’s, but another early spring snowstorm wrecked the internet until now.  So get psyched, get ready, get your brain in gear…it’s coming, tomorrow morning. 9AM EST.  May your grass be green and your sky be sunny.  (please, for me, as it is not here.  🙂  )  Slainte, Lisa

Lisa’s Top 5 St. Patrick’s Day Countdown…Number 4

I’m counting down my top 5 favorite Irish singers/groups, and coming in at number four is a singer/whistler/flutist from County Kerry named Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh. She is the lead singer from Danu, but has also done two solo projects. The tin whistle and Irish flute are definitely my favorite trad instruments, and Muireann is a wonder at both. Enjoy this live performance of “An Spealadoir/The Caucus/Wind”. Slainte, Lisa

The Best Shepherd Ever

Weekends usually hold a lot of expectation for most people.  Time to relax, time to be with family, time to reconnect with friends, time to pursue some grand adventure.  And sometimes the expectation can be rather exhausting.  “What are we going to do this weekend?  I don’t know…what do you want to do?” etc.  Sometimes it’s good just to rest and recharge for the next week, and not have so many plans.  Here’s a great psalm for meditating on contentment and peace.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not be in want

He makes me lie down in green pastures

He leads me beside quiet waters

He restores my soul.  (Psalm 23:1-3a)

In the midst of your weekend, take a deep breath and just be….just be.  The best Shepherd ever is taking care of us.  Slainte, Lisa

For Those By The Sea

The waves crash and fill the senses like the voice of God
The sound washes to shore peacefully like the whisper of a breeze

Seagulls dive and call like clarions on the wind

Salt air blows and clears your mind like a good night’s sleep

Soft sand surrounds your feet like the sweetest down

Peace descends on your heart….you are there, you are loved, all is well.

Slainte, Lisa
