destiny vs fate

NEW-10947179_10152875029991773_7689374178434263412_n-copy

If there was ever a time to talk about fate and destiny it’s now. Transformation always goes with choice. And choice puts a person at a crossroads between their fate and destiny which are two profound mystical elements in life. Fate is when you relinquish your power of choice to the circumstances around you. When you give up. Destiny is when in that moment you write the end of your story. Destiny always leads you to a path you did not anticipate. It always leads you into the world your soul takes charge of.

quandary…

TheGospelCoverGrab

Jeanne’s latest book with her caught in the chaos of sticking to priorities

 

A quandary sent to my pastor this am in response to her text for Sunday’s sermon:

Hi my favorite priest!

Every day I look forward to your sacred communiques!

And I have to prioritize:
1 Do I do a hand calligraphy of the sacred scripture to frame and give away? or
2 Do I meditate further on the proper of the Sunday Mass as presented with music, video, text and divine inspiration? or
3 Do I attend to an endless list of medical follow ups for both Don and I? or  
4 Do laundry, vacuum, shop for groceries, cook or attend to household chores? or
5 Do I face-time my grown children, sister, brothers, vulnerable neighbors and friends, and grandchildren?

Sometimes the pandemic cuts through with immediate needs.
Do we have the correct masks?
Is planting flowers for mother’s day an essential task?

You make the scripture louder than everything else as it should be.

Thank you for your holy touch.
Jeanne

Bunny Question #1:
What does it take to be a children’s poet?

chutzpah

August Movie of Mini-Bikers

My son, Owen, has rallied the mini-bikers to show their mountain biking tricks for my iPhone camera.
I edited the video in iMovie on the newest MacBookPro. Hope you enjoy the double screen.

Yesterday I watched a zooming
Video on Face-time, while Annika,
My three year old granddaughter,
Ran pell-mell around her house
Showing me the homemade Easter
Eggs and baskets filled with
Hyperactive chocolates and sugar highs.
Her thumb muted the sound
So iPhone switched to silent
Movies flashing ceilings, sky, crib-
She jumped my eyes senseless!!!!!
