As part of the process of navigating toward publishing my book, a collaborator on this project (thank you, Pat) encouraged me to create an intention board in the form of a collage, and I did. As with painting, I approached this as a form of prayer, and I was very pleased with the result. It was full of joy, abundance, and freedom, and the strongest theme to emerge was connecting.
One part of it says “It’s your gift: connecting new.” And I believe this is true. I have a passion for helping others “connect new”: to bring awareness to what they already understand deep down but have lost or forgotten, and use this awareness to reconnect with each other, with God, and with their authentic selves.
I lead retreats in Guided Prayer and my work in that forum does much the same thing. Writing, painting, facilitating retreats -- all are an extension of my living in consonance with my purpose in life. And for that I am grateful.

You commented on my Potato Soup-Ice Storm post this evening and I was led here to your blog.
Your intention board is really interesting. I was invited to a "DREAM BOARD" gathering this Sunday at the home of an aquaintance and was a little hesitant what it might be like. Seeing your finished creation gives me a better sense of how mindful collage assembly can help define goals and dreams. Thanks!
I changed my blog address, Clarence. Hopefully, it will work now. Please let me know.
I made a collage with a photo of my mom, sister and me and then glued pictures from the fifties around the photo. I really liked doing it.
I love the idea of an intention board...and how you got the name for your blog!
Thanks for stopping by mine. We are enjoying our new life here in Belize and grateful that God brought us here to serve.
Joy & Blessings,

Hello!
Thank you for visiting and making yourself known. I clicked to your website (beautiful) and your blog (wonderful) and now i wonder if you know, or have heard, the song "Love In Any Language," because that's what comes to mind while i visit your work. I expect you'll find me popping by often because - anywhere God is spoken - well, that's the place for me . . .
Well Met, Sir.
Happy Day to You!

My blog is mostly humorous stuff I find myself doing.
I love to laugh and my favorite picture of Jesus is of him laughing. I think God has a sense of humor. After all he created that beautiful animal, the skunk, and gave it that awful smell.
