What I Feel, Right Now...

Just Drink Some Tea!   Well, it's like this: There is always a feeling. In fact, my instructor at the seminary said that we feel before we think. I think it goes like this: feeling/emotion. Emotions cloud thinking. Now, when we say emotion, it can mean strong feelings of confusion, anger, angst, in addition to sadness, depression, loss, etc. As  understand it,...

Just This...

Great Morning, Great People! Today is the first day of December with 30 to go. It is cold here in Northeast Georgia and I am up, about and somewhat alert. This is just a note to say that I trust you're all doing well today [these days] and to tell you that I need some support! That's right. Have you ever had occasion to feel like you're doing something you must do but somehow...

Life Goes On...

A Path...A Beginning   Those are not new words. life does, indeed, go on. I know. Sometimes it is exciting and thrilling; other times, not so much.  Forward movement is one experience that--I believe--all living 'things' have in common. The desire to fulfill is what pushes all creation. Again, I believe it does. So, here I am, about to take a new leap, a new...

Morning Stars/Morning Starts

I have a job. That is not news. I have a job which requires my presence at 5:45 a.m., further requiring me to awake at a much earlier time than that.  Me, Smiling Again!   I don't enjoy giving my time away, certainly not my best time. One great benefit: the millions and millions of stars that I see each morning when I leave the house. The surround area is so dark...

New And Good!

I sincerely apologize for my long absence from my blog post. I call it a post because it is an important position that I hold, that of Blogger. Not just for me, but for anyone who might read it and benefit. Now that we are together again, let's go! First, I want you to know that I am yet to retrieve my lost files from my old PC. The good news is that I have a computer...

The Apothecary

Beginnings - on My GrandMother's Mantel     Well, here in the last moments of my free time, I'm 'moved' to write of my Apothecary. I love that word: Apothe-cary. It makes me think of something mysterious and moving. It conjures visions of someone moving about in long, flowing, loose-fitted clothing mixing and making things. Things, in this case, refers to lotions,...

Wow. I Owe An Apology!

What did I do? I left way too many fonts in my last post. Not just way too many, but they were way too big and obtuse! That's what happens when I start learning how to do things on a computer...no matter how simple they may be! So, My Friends and Loved Ones, my Readers, old and new...forgive me. That couldn't have been easy to behold.  Now, that's settled. Listen...

Sorghum

I have my reasons for writing about Sorghum. In a short while you will understand! For now, just know that I'm really grateful that you're reading this! Beginning of the Apothecary!   The sorghum plant, which is a type of grass, was introduced into the United States from Africa in the early part of the 17th century.

Tonight's Show was Great!

Really, it was. See, the theme was ‘Time and Patience’. On the last show [September 6] we worked more on Time than Patience. We worked largely from Ageless Body; Timeless Mind¸ Deepak Chopra. There is a great wealth of information regarding the connection between the mind and body. More specifically, it is about how ones beliefs affect ones body. Put another way: what you...

Parsley - Today's Herb

A tiny green leafy item found in produce, most widely known to shoppers and diners as a garnish. I was at a Passover celebration and we were served Parsley to dip in vinegar. [As I recall, to symbolize the bitterness of the Exodus.] Most often, we don’t eat our garnish; not so with Parsley. Clearly not Parsley, but a lovely yellow bush! Again, speaking from personal...

Ginger, Continued

If I appear to be dragging out my Herb of the Day, I am. I know much more than I realized, and you know me: I love to share. Enjoy!

It was self-serve and just, oh, so very hip. I...

My Calling To Fulfill

I am Sandra Teresa Davenport. I am no preacher; nor am I the child of a preacher. However, I fully accept, embrace and enjoy my calling into ministry to teach and preach. The name of my ministry is LivingWellMinistries. Further, in the words of Franz Fanon. “Each generation must discover its mission, fulfill it or betray it, in relative opacity.” Now then, if I were an active 'preacher', I would conduct some sort of service most Sundays....
