Hello. I'm Michal.
Pronounced "Michael".
Yes, I am a woman.
Yes, I'm sure my name is not Michelle.
No, I do not have a boy's name.
No, my dad did not want a boy.
Yes, just like King David's wife, Saul's daughter and Jonathan's sister.
I have expensive taste, on a thrift store budget.
I sew. I thrift. I read.
I love my family and my animals. I live a quiet life.
I mind my own business. I work with my hands.
Incase you were wondering:
(Just the facts ma'am).
1. I am a Christian. I believe Jesus Christ is the son of God. You don't have to be a Christian for me to love you or be your friend. I prefer living my faith, rather than preaching it.
2. I am an amateur. I find technology and Blogger difficult to use, but I enjoy the challenge. I love learning new things.
3. I have an awesome Nikon D5000 It's a lot of camera for me and I miss film, but I love my camera and it is never far from me. I even take it to bed with me. Creepy, huh?
4. I love to read and read about 30 books at a time. *face palm* Classic literature inspires me.
5. I love mothering and nurturing my children. My kids are grown now, so I mother and nurture my animals.
7. I have 1 daughter and 1 son. Girl child doesn't care if I take her picture or blog about her. Boy child is much more private. It may look as if I have a favorite child because I always talk about one and not the other, but this is not so. :)
8. I homeschooled and graduated both my children. It was the best thing we ever did.
8. I sew or quilt every single day of my life. I mostly quilt, but love sewing for children and all kinds of needlework.
9. The color red orange makes me nauseous. I'm not kidding. Every since I was a little girl, if I stare at a red orange crayon, I'll start gagging. What's up with that?
10. I'm from Texas. I live in Tampa, Florida now. I stay homesick, but if you're going to be stuck some where, Florida isn't so bad.
11. I can't remember a time in my life when strawberries weren't my favorite food. Absolute. Favorite. Forever.
12. I love musicals and frequently break out in song. My feelings are hurt when other people don't know the lyrics.
13. I've been married 20 years. Go us! I don't talk about him much. He is private.
Be Blessed. Be a Blessing.
Be Kind. Be Genuine. Be Loyal. Be Gracious.
Encourage one another.
This is what I look like. I'm on your left.
(My sister has the sunglasses. Hi Nancy!)
A major theme of this blog is
finding joy after life's traumas and difficult change. Yes it was horrible.
Now go create something beautiful.
And be a loving person.
