Happy New Year!

I love new beginnings. The New Year is symbolic of putting away the past and setting sights on things anew. Regardless of how the previous year was, the New Year like a fresh start. Scripture talks about "putting off the old and putting on the new." Certainly Paul was referring to the the transformation of a person to be Christ-like, but think about it: The New Year is a perfect time to plot your course for the future. Review what didn't work last year and plan your best for this year.

I love to read blogs. I enjoy it so much that I decided to start my own. I calf-roped my sister into being a contributing editor and I hope you enjoy what you see here. This is a seed I'm planting for the New Year and I look forward to seeing what fruit it yields. A new beginning, indeed!

You will find things of the home: cooking, cleaning and decorating. So many have shared the beauty of thier homes through their blogs. It inspires me.

You will find things of people and places: experiences, relationships, venues to visit and shop.

You will find things of God: even if you are not a believer, don't let that keep you from enjoying what is shared on this site. Keep an open mind - you just might change it! Everyone who comes here is loved. -Paula
