september’s coming soon

31 August 2011 by Kortney

a few quotes fell out of my Fanny Farmer cookbook this afternoon.  and they’re not a bad way to welcome this coming season.  these are from Donna Otto’s book called Finding your Purpose as a Mom.

home is supposed to be a place where people not only manage to grow, but are nurtured, encouraged, and helped to grow into the mature, loving, and Godly people they are created to be.  home is a place of rich resources and careful tending, where lives are shaped to produce fruit.

: :

our bodies and spirits are aligned to the natural rhythms and to ignore them is to invite unnecessary stress into our lives.

: :

children need you to be present–watching them, studying them, thinking about them, interacting without a wondering mind or heart that yearns to be elsewhere.

(oh, here’s Michael Stipe pining for the moon, breaking my heart, singing “Nightswimming”)

    my heart is broken so easily…a glance at a stick Mabel picked up at the library on a cold day; a corn husk doll from my little girl; remembering Bigmama, Nadine, Delania, others…and music is the ultimate heart breaker
