Happy Wednesday! We're back onto a (hopefully) regular schedule again. But I hope you've been using your Wednesdays to wake up nonetheless! Music as a theme in life has been something I've been thinking a lot about recently. But also how we partake in music within the context of community. I've a close friend who … Continue reading Wakeup Wednesday – Sharing Music
Happy Wednesday! Ever wonder what it's like to take public transit in the mornings? Like most people who don't, probably not. But guess what! After taking it daily for almost three years now, it makes you think. Like if you had to describe taking public transportation in the mornings, what would that be like in … Continue reading Wakeup Wednesday – Morning Commute
Happy Wednesday! Tea is an amazing thing - especially black tea with a hint of orange in it. Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE coffee. But there's something about a hot cup of black tea with a little milk and sugar that warms the soul. Imagine the hot water as it slowly pours into … Continue reading Wakeup Wednesday – Tea Time
Happy Wednesday! Can you believe we’re already halfway through another glorious week? I was out late last night and couldn’t help but wonder at the stars above as I was walking home.

It's crazy how this created world contains so many tangible reminders of who we are. For whatever reason, this morning reminded me of a Beatrix Potter story. I grew up reading her stories, … Continue reading Wakeup Wednesday – Beatrix Potter
Happy Wednesday! I've had the theme of stillness on my mind a lot recently, partially because I've had some great opportunities to sit quietly in the morning and night while the rest of the world sleeps.

Happy Wednesday! Many of us are starting to see the first snow falls - I woke up this morning to a light dusting, and it was marvelous. Crisp, cold, and peaceful. I'm reminded of the song In the Bleak Midwinter: In the bleak midwinter/Frosty wind made moan/ Earth stood hard as iron/Water like a stone/ … Continue reading Wakeup Wednesday – Bleak Midwinter
Happy Wednesday! We're a little bit past the waking up time, but still. I'm travelling to visit my family, and I've got some good vibes to send your way. Go listen to Wilder Woods - it's the self titled album by the singer of Needtobreathe. And it's pure gold. Maybe you're traveling for Thanksgiving, maybe … Continue reading Wakeup Wednesday – Injection of Beauty
Happy Wednesday! There's an interesting movie called Loving Vincent that I saw over this past weekend, about Vincent Van Gogh. One of the things that struck me was that Van Gogh didn't start painting until he was 28. 28! Can you imagine? As a 20-something who's worried about having their life together, it's pretty reassuring. … Continue reading Wakeup Wednesday – Starry Night
