He wasn’t just any baby. This beloved babe, born of a virgin, came to love like no other. Live like no other. Forgive like no other. Die like no other—because he rose like no other. And like no other, he will come again. What did this beloved babe do to change the scope of my hope? How has he updated my lens of love and posture of praise? How does his life and death give me…freedom? Why do I celebrate Christmas?
How do you celebrate this season? How is it different from your childhood memories?
Childhood Christmas’s meant church cantatas, family gatherings, school plays, parades, caroling, hot chocolate, and a booming “Ho, ho, ho” from my Dad! What’s mantled in my memories? The sounds of Christmas songs, the feel of cheer and chilly air, and the car rides to my grandparents. Some soul-sniffing provides the smells of Christmas, too!
Ah, the Savior’s birth stirs my senses!
Traditions continued as I grew. As I’d celebrate the birth of Christ with my own family, some traditions continued, and new ones were created. Reading the Nativity story, seeing Christmas lights, and watching movies made the season magical. As I grew older, the birth of the beloved babe was often overshadowed by other “Christmasy” outings. Why was there an emphasis placed on performance and activities? Standards. They had to be met everywhere—school, home, and every other area of life. Standards snuffed out the significance of this beloved babe’s sacrifice. The sights, sounds, and smells became…standardized. Is that what the beloved babe intended?
The rigidity of religiosity, adoration in activity, and praise through performance set me up for…failure. Is that what the beloved babe intended?
“I am leaving you with a gift-peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.”
John 14:27
The beloved babe, surrounded by the humblest of people in a lowly setting, intended life to be lived…free. Our beloved babe, (fully God, fully man) became the Prince of Peace and King of Kings. Skimming the surface, or standardized celebrations, poorly represent my faith-filled freedom.
Doctrine doesn’t define and society’s standards can’t satisfy.This love was made real in surrender. The candles I’ve lit this Advent season represent the relationship I cherish with this beloved babe. “O Holy Night” and “Joy to the World” sing out of my soul! My heart’s longing was ONLY fulfilled through the freedom found from this beloved babe. He’s with me as I “run” free in the woods (just like a child!). He’s beside me when I’m in line at the store. He’s holding my hand at the infusion center. He’s beside me when I’m helping a student. When I’m lying awake at night, HE is there. Ah, freedom. HE is the hope, peace, joy, and love of my soul.
How can I convince others that this BELOVED BABE came to TAKE AWAY your frustrations and burdens? His tears and blood, from a manger in a cave,… to an old wooden cross,… were shed FOR YOU and for me. His gift of peace is a treasure! I choose to not waste his sacrifice by stressing over things that I can’t control. Or that don’t matter.
Fear failed when this beloved babe was born. He grew to be the man I cherish. The Savior I accepted. And the Holy Spirit who indwells IN me.
Do you REALLY KNOW how loved you are? Are you frustrated or faith-filled? Is your life performance-based or grown by grace? Do you feel trapped or free? I PRAY you experience the heart-changing, soul-shifting, and freedom-finding true gift of Christmas.
This beloved babe, Jesus Christ, is the most precious gift I’ve ever received. It’s not about perfection or performance, it’s about your heart and humanity. Will you please accept this free gift? Do you know how loved you are?
Merry Christmas, dear friends. May the gift of Christmas give hope, peace, joy, and love. ❣️🎄
Have faith 🤍

Merry Christmas, Karla! 🎁❤️
Thank you, dear Kelley! I was JUST reading your poem. So beautiful. Many hugs and prayers. 🩷🎄🤍🤗🙏🏼
Your sweet voice singing “Happy Birthday Jesus”, brought tears to my eyes…so beautiful, my precious friend!
Thank you for always reminding me what is most important. “He is the hope, joy, and love of my soul.” He truly brought joy to a broken world, that will remain broken until His return! We can only know peace, comfort, and joy through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
I wish you a most joyous Christmas, my sweet friend. Sending love, hugs, and most importantly prayers for you and your family. I love you ❤️✨🙏🏻
Thank you, precious Pam. I feel your love, prayers, and support every day. I appreciate you so much! I’ve been singing that song for years. While I was in Tulsa, I sang it with my little granddaughter, too. My oldest and his family are on their way—like in an hour or two. When I see the precious kids, and students at school, I always think of how much Jesus loves them. Oh, I want them all to know this love like no other.
It’s the only peace there truly is, isn’t it?
I love you, Pam, and your family, so much. Please give your Daddy, Butch, and everyone my regards and blessings, too. THANK YOU for being you. ❣️🩷🎄🌲🙏🏼🎶
❤️🙏🏻✨❤️🙏🏻✨
I suspect that was you singing, but the children in the background have thrown me. Whoever it was, I enjoyed the beautiful voice.
Though I’m not a Christian, I do celebrate Christmas with my wife (who is a Christian). I like your take on freedom. We can strive to live up to an ideal, but it doesn’t have to be like digging a ditch. The idea that we are forgiven when we fall short is a comforting thought.
I think if we were all perfect, we would all be boring. The freedom to be imperfect is necessary to keep life interesting. And therefore, forgiveness for our imperfections is necessary.
I like the idea that the gift of forgiveness for our imperfections is what we receive from the birth (and death) of Jesus. I think it’s a wonderful and very important gift we can give each other, and receive from God, too (if there is a God).
Beautiful words, Tippy! I always appreciate your support and feedback, my friend.
That is me singing (and the kids were on the track already–but I did sing this with some very important kids in my life :-).
Yes, perfection would be boring. My tagline begins with “Embracing imperfection…”
Why, Yes, Tippy, there is a God (imagine me saying, “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!”). I’ve had a personal experience. Life or death situation. Wow. It was….awe-inspiring and might seem unbelievable to some.
God bless us, everyone (Tiny Tim?).
I’m looking forward to getting back to your place–is it part 13? I have a lot of catch up to do after Christmas!
My oldest son and his family, I found out, are on their way here…NOW! Let the fun times begin!
Merry Christmas, Tippy, to you and your family! I hope it’s filled with wonderful memories and great times!! I appreciate you, my friend.
I like your tagline.
So, did you have one of those Near-Death Experiences, where you went through a tunnel and saw a Being of Light, or some such thing? I’ve always found the stories of those experiences both fascinating and comforting. They’re one reason why I assume there is a hereafter. I’d love to hear your story, if you ever get around to it.
My series is up to Part 14 now. There will be 16 parts, in total, with Part 16 on Christmas Day. I’m glad you’re along for the ride, as I love your thoughtful and positive comments.
Merry Christmas to you too, and your family!
Thank you!
Tippy, I’d love to share my experience sometime with you!
It was real~ {unlike your canned unicorn! 🦄 tee hee}
Part 16. Yikes! I’ve got some catching up to do. You work hard putting that research together and in a fun and unique way, too! It’s my pleasure to be a part of it!
I can’t wait to see what song it will become! Here’s to a great Christmas and soon, New Year!
🎄😊
Beautiful, Karla.
Thank you, Rose!
Perfect, Karla!!
Thank you, dear Rose. I appreciate you so much!❣️🩷🙏🏼
Blessings for a sweet Christmas dear Karla! May you be filled with and surrounded by peace and joy!
love, katelon
Thank you, sweet Katelon! I appreciate you, my friend. I wish the same for you. Love, Finn and me ❤️💚♥️🥰🐾
Hi Karla,
I am “Prompted” to tell you about an experience I had while staying in San Diego. I was walking my present landlady’s dog, along a familiar neighborhood and suddenly my attention was drawn to a sound like chimes hanging from a front porch. I looked around to see where the sound was coming from, but saw nothing. The sound continued to increase and had expanded to become all around me. It continued as I walked an entire block and beyond. I could feel it in my body, too. I realized I had just been “bathed” in the Sound of Creation. It was so stunning.
Thanks for “listening”, love, katelon
“Fear Failed” so beautiful to think of, thank you. And for the beautiful music — Happy Birthday — a whole new way. Thank you.
It’s my blessing, JK! God bless you and Merry Christmas, my friend. I appreciate you!
Thank you for sharing your Joy Karla, a song to celebrate something very beautiful that we have been gifted with. It took a long time to understand just what we do down here, and in finally seeing and appreciating that it isn’t just a trip and a stumble, but something very loving indeed.
Love the photo’s and so surprised there is so many birds still about in the cold. And I love the horse, and by the looks a big draft horse or some such. If it is a local, give it a big hug for me 🤣
As I have read the comments, your journey even in its depth has been raising that love within you kind lady. To enable this celebration of His birth and the Joy it raises in its understanding.
Glad to hear your heart in your voice with this post, and with those so close about to visit and you share that beauty with them too. I hope you have a great time Karla, to be with those you love, laughing, singing, and being in that love He has gifted with in this understanding ❤️
A very Merry Christmas to you, Finn and your family Karla, and a Happy New Year too. May it speak in that love found and heal even more on that path you follow. Big hugs, love and blessings kind lady, I am looking forward to that light you always share and the healing ever given. Take care xx 🤗🥰🦋🎄🎅🎶🎁🕊️🦌☃️🐾🦓❤️🙏
Merry Christmas, dear Mark! It’s always so fun and heartwarming to read your comments. You know all about the journey, dear friend. “It isn’t just a trip and a stumble…” awww
It’s so freeing to feel the liberation in the Lord!
The horse~ he IS a local horse and so beautiful isn’t he? I’ll give him a hug when I see him again.
The birds are all preparing to leave~ mostly. But robins, they stay! And I love them. That bird made a nest in my wreath on my front door. What “fun” when he flew into the house. It’s the best bird pictures ever!
Finn and I send our hugs, love, and blessings always dear friend. I appreciate you so much! Take care! 💕💚🎄🙏🏻🤗🎶🦓❄️🩵🙏🏻🙏🏻
Oh Karla, that bird in your wreath and even coming inside. I love it when nature trusts us so much it accepts us in its place. Well, it now owned your wreath anyway 🤣
I do love horses, they have a strength of love within them. As do all animals but I was blessed with bonding with one. I had done a healing on Amigo, a friends horse (her ex husbands horse anyway), and he decided to ‘let me in’. It totally caught me off guard and made a connection I never knew was there. I must have been too busy healing humans 😂, but it is something I will never forget 😂
And it is when we ‘bond’ that we know His love is ever there kind lady. In so many ways He speaks to let us know of that beauty. Like that little girl who spoke to me…that love in those words still bring me to tears. It had…well…everything in them. A softness, a strength, a heartfelt touch, it just spoke ‘everything’ in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye. A gift I’ll never forget ❤️🙏
Anyway, may the gift of all your family and friends together be that love too Karla. A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all, may its beauty sing as you do and hold us all in its light. Big hugs and love to you and Finn, have a great time and enjoy it all 🤗🥰🤣😂🦋🎄🎅🎶🎁🕊️🦌☃️🐾🦓❤️🙏
A beautiful post, Karla, with a real Christmas message for all of us. You photos are always wonderful. I enjoyed your music very much!
Merry Christmas My Friend!!
Thank you, Dwight! I appreciate your prayers and support so much! Merry Christmas to you and your family. You’re such a dear friend. 💚🙏🏻🎄
:>)
❤️ AMEN to all you said in your post and your song 🎵 touchsd my heart. Your voice is so lovely, Karla! Sitting here in the lights of my candles and Christmas tree just added to the peace of listening to your song. Love and hugs!! ❤️💚❤️💚
Aww, thank you, sweet friend. I’m snuggled right now (within the cutest 5 year old explaining breakfast!) and I wanted to get on here to say thank you. I’m snuggled in YOUR blanket, dear friend. It’s warm like friendship and God’s love. Thank you for being you, C! Sending love and hugs always.💚♥️💚♥️💚🙏🏻🎄🎄🎶🎶
LOL about explaining breakfadt. Have fun!
You are sooo very welcome! Warms my ❤️ to have you as a friend and to know you love the blanket and feel God’s love in it and mine. 🥰 Enjoy!!! Love you, sweet Karla! 😊😊💗❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
I just love hearing you sing. You have such a wonderful anointing. There is only one Karla. Your posts are always so special. I hope you have a wonderful visit with your son. You deserve it! Merry Christmas my sweet Karla! 🎄😇🤗🐶🙏🏻🎶🕊️🥰🌹💖
Mama Wenda, you’re so sweet. There’s only one YOU, too. I appreciate your precious support and prayers. I’m thinking and praying for you. You’re an inspiration on leaning on faith always! I love you!💚🙏🏻🎄♥️🎶
Now who is the sweet one! I love you more! 🥰💖❤️🪂🌹⭐🎶🎄❄️🕊️🙏🏻 Whew! I’m tired! lol!
no joy with the audio, Karla 🙁 but I am fully into what you say about the rigidity of religiosity; its structures and practices — stifling ; I find myself rebelling against it; where is the liberation, the joy of Jesus’ message ? it feels like when I walk into a service I am fitted with a straitjacket; I am going through changes, Karla but they will be gospel infused
John, there’s so much wisdom in your words! Aw a straight jacket service, a bonded belief~ when you don’t FEEL the joy or love coming out of the house of the Lord, and you feel it more in strangers or outside of a building, or it becomes a job or routine~ that’s not the freedom we’re supposed to have! Amen! I FEEL the changes coming In you! How wonderful, my friend!
I appreciate you so much, dear friend. You inspire me! I’m sorry you couldn’t hear the audio. Merry Christmas my friend! 💚🎄
same to you, Karla; I’m glad we’re on the same wavelength; sometimes — or often, rather, during the service, it has the feeling of just going through the motions
Karla, I love your posts: they give me spiritual strength
Thank
You, dear John. That blesses my heart to hear that. Take care, my friend.🙏🏻🥰
Joy to this magnificent holiday, Karla.
Blessings continue for you and your family as we gather around the manger and sing His praises. Oh, sweet heavenly child, come to save the world. So meek and fully mild, He is our great shepherd. Love you sweet Karla and Finley too. Hope you have a wonderful holiday making new memories and traditions. God bless you. Mama K
I love you, Mama K. I’m so glad we’re connected on this side of heaven. And one day…
Happy New Year to you, Paul, and the entire family. Your continued faith and testimony touches my heart.
Love you sweet Karla. Hope your new year is chock full of blessings, good health, contentment and peace. You are a rock star and I’m so glad we’ve gotten together to share this year. Please wish the same to your family.❤️
Thank you, Mama K. You are so sweet, thank you. I pray that same thing for you all. I’ll give my family your love, too. I love you!❣️❣️🤗
Little sister I am glad you have wonderful memories of Christmas with your family. So good to see you post again. 🙂
Hard to believe Christmas is in two days. Time has flown by. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas little sister. Jesus loves you
Beautifully written and beautifully sung Karla. Thank you for sharing the gift that is you. You continue to touch so many of us and no doubt continue to point many in His direction 🙌
Wishing you and your family a very Merry and Blessed Christmas ❤️💚
Thank you, precious friend. It’s my blessing to share. It touches my heart that my words and experiences (and songs) can “speak” to your heart, too. I’m so thankful for God’s mercy, love, and healing. I pray you and yours had a wonderful Christmas! Happy New Year! ❣️❣️❣️🙏🏼🎶
May every person who doesn’t know Christ be reminded of what Christmas is really about. I pray they will be drawn to the Savior with every carol they hear. Thank you, Karla, for this post! God bless you and yours! Merry Christmas from Henry and me! 🙏💕🐾
Amen, sweet Cindy! “Drawn to the Savior”. There are so many things happening, my friend, that point to more opportunities to grow my faith and walk. I pray that this season, and the start of a new year, keeps us firm in our faith and relying on the truth and joy in the only source that matters! Finn and I are alone again and relishing in the memories; yet, also, existing in peace as I take one hour at a time and give thanks for the gift of still being here. I’m so blessed, Cindy. Sending love to you and Henry, always. Thank you for being you! ❣️🤗🙏🏼
Karla, it would be so great if we were neighbors! Someday when we get to Heaven maybe we will be!
I know what it’s like to be alone. It’s the thing I struggle with the most. Thank the Lord for Henry and Finn! I’m sending love and prayers to you and Finn. 🙏❤️🐾
Cindy, I can “see” it now! Amen to our furry ones. Often, I think, “I’d rather have Jesus than ANYTHING.” (Finn is looking at me strangely ;-). But it’s true. Something hit me hard a few years ago, my friend. I believe Jesus needed me ALONE so that I could be COMPLETELY HIS. I know you understand this, too. We feel your love and prayers and send it always. Happy New Year, dear Cindy. I’m grateful for you! ❣️🥰🩷🙏🏼🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🐶
Yes I understand. I truly do. I am thankful for our friendship. You have been an amazing encouragement to me. Happy New Year Karla and Finn! May God bless you richly in this new year! Henry and I send our love, Cindy
🙏🐾💕
I love Christmas and all that it stands for. We have a birthday cake for Jesus on Christmas Day. You have such a beautiful voice!
Thank you, Diane. I appreciate you so much! The birthday cake is so precious! Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas, Karla!
Merry Christmas to you and your precious family, Ann! I pray it was the best possible. God bless you and your family!
God bless you and yours too!
Dear Sweet Karla! Oh, how my heart has swooned this day as I “gifted” to myself time spent near the tree, trimmed in love, reading through the missed months of your post(s.) Although my time to visit your Sacred Space has been absent, not for a moment have you left my daily prayer intentions. Thank you for enveloping me, through the gift of your tender woven words, into your life and heart. I have always feel a special kindredness of Spirit & know God has knit this together by His own Fatherly hands. May you continue to be blessed in the upcoming NEW Year. My prayers for you continue and I have added your sweet Father’s healing to be blessed by the One who knows the purpose granted unto this recent health-scenario. Know of my continued admiration and gratitude for your presence on my own path of attaining Heaven. Your faithful flanneled praised is always caught up with a great grateful hug lifted up to the Heavens as a true blessing in my life!
Dear Dawn, my heart and face lit up when I saw your name so many times. To read your words, FEEL your love and the Spirit oozing out of you gives me such joy, dear friend.
I’m humbled that you took so much time to spend to catch up in my teeny tiny slice of the big internet world.
Do you know I wrap your shawl and pray for you? I’ve wondered, pondered, and prayed. I thought of your NEW POSITION and how you were being used for love, light, and truth! Also about how big those precious babies must be getting and the cuteness of any family photos and activities. I can SEE them in my mind!
I know what you’ve been doing and I’m so thankful for this sisterhood. Our connection created divinely so many years ago is special–even if only in this “space”–we know it’s BIGGER than that. For one day, eternally, we will see each other.
I’m so grateful for your friendship and presence. Your prayers lifted have been received and I’m overwhelmed by my blessings and healing. This entire health journey, which we all have, continues to teach me grand lessons. Even when I’m confused by symptoms or overwhelmed by obstacles, I can “center” myself with Christ. My hand on my heart, a hand on my stomach, my mind and soul completely focused on …peace, love, and goodness.
Here’s to 2025, dear Dawn. Our God is always on the move. Even in the quiet seasons, there is much to appreciate and learn. During the fast and furious times, I can pause, ponder, pray, and praise. I’m giving him everything, sister. All of it. My heart, mind, and soul. I know you do, too.
I love you, Dawn. It’s so good to know you are well. I can’t wait to see and hear about those grands and your precious family. Thank you for being you!
Beautiful voice ❤️ merry Christmas Karla, God bless you ❤️
Thank you, dear friend. God bless you, too! Sending hugs and blessings always. Here we go into 2025. We’ve got this.❣️❣️❣️🙏🏼🤗
Merry Christmas, Karla! ❤️
Merry Christmas, precious Jennie (I emailed you, my friend!). I appreciate you! ❣️❣️❣️
Merry Christmas!! I will look for your email. I so appreciate you, Karla. 😍
I appreciate you, too, dear friend! YAY!! 🥰🥰🥰🩷🩷🩷
😍
What a Beautiful share! Wishing you dear Karla peace and love always and into the new year.
Thank you so much AOC! I appreciate your support, love, and kindness always! Happy New Year! May peace and love lead! ❣️🤗🙏🏼
Blessings Karla. May the renewing Spirit of Christmas continue to infuse your faith in the coming year. I appreciate the journey through this testament. When the season of Advent is knocking on my door, I enjoy the thoughtful and meaningful time spent in God’s Word as I craft poetry befitting each Sunday of Advent. I want so much to allow this beloved babe to be with me each and every day. Praising our God and Father for opening our eyes to His redemption journey through His Son.
Dear Richard, I’m sorry it took me a bit to get here. The Spirit of Christmas DID infuse my faith. THANK YOU for your precious words. “I enjoy the thoughtful and meaningful time spend in God’s Word as I craft poetry…” My friend, how beautiful. Your poems inspire me; just as your concrete communion with Christ! As we begin a new year my goals aren’t “fickle”, Richard. I’m full-in, both feet solid, and heart, soul, and mind prepared to listen, learn, and love. I’m going to participate in a new daily study (the entire Bible again, but with more intention and background) and another weekly ZOOM with other women across the USA in a spiritual gathering to fuel our faith even more. I’m surrendering to what HE has in store–but being intentional to alleviate distractions that deter. I know that health and other life happenings might interrupt–but that’s all part of the learning plan and process to keep my eyes open and my heart in the right place. Happy New Year to you and your family, Richard. I’m looking forward to reading all the inspiring words you’ll receive!
“I choose to not waste his sacrifice by stressing over things that I can’t control.” I needed to hear that, Beautiful Sister-Friend, and hearing your voice was a bonus! I’m so thankful for the Beloved Babe, the reason for this season, hope, peace, joy, and love! And now for 2025, upcoming miracles, and prayers answered! 🙏🏻🫶🏻🙏🏻 I love you, K! Sending big hugs!
CL–you’ve been on my mind, sister. Thank you for taking time to stop by to read and listen to the song. I know how thankful you are for Jesus!
I’m giggling thinking about what I can “control”. Aw, a “clean slate”, a new year….my tired body is quite a pair with my bursting heart of joy. It was such an amazing Christmas and I pray for you too, dear sister. The goodbyes are bittersweet. I’m blessed to have the opportunities to see family!
Crystal, you’re an inspiration to me. Look at how YOU’VE crushed obstacles and together, we’re breaking ceilings, and I have a feeling life’s journey will keep us learning, laughing, and at times, probably crying together!
We can sip tea and talk about the lessons we continue to learn. I introduced one of my daughter-in-law’s to YOUR tea. Here’s a sip to more days to cherish, lessons to learn, and love to sprinkle out like glitter.
Happy New Year, C. I’m grateful for you! I love you! ❣️🩷🤗
wonderful pics, Karla; I am not a fan of rigidity in religion or verse or any form of art. Religion like Art should be liberating and joyous. Hope you are doing well, Big hugs, though not bone-crushing
Amen, John! “liberating and joyous” (oh boy!). I appreciate you so much, my friend. I pray you had a wonderful Christmas. I’m slowly getting back here–plugging away, with peace and good intention. Ah, a pace of peace. Technology is not my friend–but I’m getting “her” on my side through some fixes. My life is full and blessed, John. It’s about time for another treatment. And so it begins again. How blessed am I to be here? I feel the gentle hugs and give them back (not bone-crushing–that made me giggle).
hahaha ; I’ll put you on the prayer line this morning , Karla; yes, Xmas was great: still convalescing 🙂
Thank you, John. You’re on mine, too. I appreciate it so much. WE KNOW why we’re here. I’m glad your Christmas was great! 🙏🏼🩷🥰
…from me, Karla 🙂
🤗💙
“How is it different from your childhood memories?” In every way, Karla! Jesus is the gift I never received as a child, and now gratefully accept every day. Blessings always, dear friend.
Such a beautiful and heartfelt post. Your words really touch the soul and remind us of the true essence of Christmas. I love how you embrace the freedom that comes from knowing Christ and living in His love.
And I have to say, I absolutely adore the Happy Birthday song. It’s such a joy to hear, and I can’t help but smile every time. Your voice is angelic – truly, it’s a gift to hear you sing.
The pictures you shared also capture the magic and peace of the season.
Thank you for this reminder of the deep love and peace we can find in Christ, especially during Christmas.
Hope you had a Wonderful and Merry Christmas and I Hope and Pray for a Blessed New Year to you my Dear Sister. 🎄✨
Willie, you are such an encouragement and faith-filled friend/brother. Your heartfelt words are evidence of your HUGE heart and soul. Thank you, brother. I’m so happy we connected on this side of heaven; in a place where deep souls, lovers of Christ, writers, singers, musicians, and others can gather to share, support, and encourage. It’s elevated my Spirit in unfathomable ways!
May we both keep creating art–whether in graphic design, music, or words. It’s truly our way of worship isn’t it? And to let others know…they are loved. YOU and yours are loved, brother.
I pray you are doing well and that this year brings miracles and blessings to you all! ❣️🤗🎶🙏🏼
Thank you so much for your beautiful words Karla. 🙏 I’m incredibly Grateful for our connection and the way we inspire and uplift each other.
I’m Blessed to walk this journey with you, and I pray that 2025 brings you much deserved Blessings, Joy, and Comfort.
You Are Dearly Loved
God Bless You today and always.
Happy and Blessed New Year my Dear Sister .❣️🎶🙏
Aww, thank you, brother!! YOU are TOO!!! I’m so thankful for you too, Willie. ❣️💞🩷🤗

Beautiful little sis, the real gift is you, that rings true to me. You are a gift, your heart is full, your love is real, like the Velveteen Rabbit, you give the lifeless life. Thank you. I love you, C
I love you so much, big sis. Thank you so much! (The Velveteen Rabbit comment~ oh my heart 🥹❤️🐰♥️). You’re a gift to me, too. Thank you for supporting me. Through it all! ♥️♥️♥️
