To my blog kindreds, my stars and garters, my stellar pals:
Here's to words and worth,
Joyful dirt,
Bright, hoped for things
and clean pages.
Happy Holidays!
Happy New Year!
finding joy in the everyday grit
- Faith Pray
- I'm Faith Pray. I write and paint. I play and get my fingers dirty. I wrangle four wildebeests. I make cardboard train stations and fairy paper dolls. I read books. I write, and send things off to my agent. This is the good life. This is why I'm here. I want to dig deep and revel in sacred moments, even when the gritty humdrum demands attention. Come stay awhile; we can hunt for buried treasure. Who knows? Maybe it's hiding under that huge pile of laundry.

wonderful illustration and happy new year to you too!
There can never be enough bright, hopeful things. Thanks for having a blog that delivers that often. Wishing you a grand New Year.
Happy New Year to you too! Hugs. Molly -- love the art. :)
Thank you, Faith! Here's to seeing the miracle in each moment. The sacred in the dirt- and the dirt in the sacred.
Thank you Julia, Tricia, Molly and Amy! I'm excited to see what 2012 brings for each of you. Here's to happy, happy creating! Clink! (that was the champagne flutes)
