encounters of the heart

This princess in pink is my niece Janelle. For whatever reasons that life would dish out, I've not been able to have much time with this young woman until a few weeks ago when Michael and I made an intentional trip to spend time, take her to dinner and chat a bit and hug a lot. Janelle's due to deliver a little princess sometime mid November.

counter culture - returning to roots

My dear friend Val of 3 Blonde Mom's Blog sent me this book read. She reads TONS and I love to hear her talk about her current reads. I'm a counterculture girl (I think Val might say she is too).

We started revisiting our roots here wanting that path to freedom and here with Garden Girl. And as a mentor, I'm all about women understanding the difference between being cultural and following the societal mores verses understanding the dignity of womanhood (especially in 'dating') through the lens of God. Living through God's lens centers a woman.

What's your counter cultural revolution about?

what in the world is twitter and who are tweeples?

I'm a tweeple and sometimes you can find me here and you can find some of my friends here too!

Now for those of you who are thoroughly confused, visit my twitter friend JenuineJen here cause she has a great post explaining all about twitter!

JenuineJen has a great post: Twitter for Dummies where she writes:

What is Twitter?
Twitter is considered microblogging. Well, that narrows it down, doesn’t it? Twitter is a place where you can send quick little snippets of information about what you are doing. You can also reply to what other people are doing in small snippets.

It is a bit like Instant Messaging with the world or updating your status on Facebook or LinkedIn. You may find it slightly more fun than blogging because you can have real time conversations with people. Also, you get little glimpses into people’s lives that you might not see just from their blogs.

She explains what tweets are and why you'd want to be a tweetering twittering tweeple. Then if you're convinced and can't wait to get started, JenuineJen tells you how to get plugged in.
