On a chill October day, I tumbled into a local train to meet my precious Sarah (and Joy) at a lovely hotel for a small rendezvous together before she gave birth to darling baby Samuel. quickly grabbing a doorman, we smiled for a quick photo from him as we were swirling through the rotating door. Precious times with Sarah have filled my heart with gratefulness beyond expressing. She is my beloved first child, the one who taught me how to be a mother.
God eased me into motherhood by giving a sweet, gentle, generous little girl who became my close pal and kindred spirit through so much of my life. Sweet Sarah has always been a creator of beauty. It oozes out of her in her words, the ways she shapes life, the beauty she brings, the love she gives.
Time together now is filled with constant sharing of what we think about every subject in the world, the books we have read, the thoughts and feelings that have journeyed through our hearts and minds. Soul retreat comes to mind when I am with her. I knew you would enjoy being with us in our thoughts.
Last week, in a phone call, I found Sarah up to her eyeballs caring for her bubbly 2 year old Lilly, and never wants to sleep, darling Samuel. Even in the midst of this demanding season, her mind was alive with the book she is diligently working on, moments of creativity and lucidity being tucked in here and there when she can find a few minutes to write her thoughts.
When one draws from Sarah’s life, they always find richness and treasures there. I love drawing out fo the hearts of all of my adult children because I always find wealth in their souls. Awaking Wonder is the story of our journey together through discovering the worlds that shaped them.
Sarah and I conversed today about beauty, books, the shaping of hearts, minds and souls. I know you will love this podcast between mother and daughter, best friends. Sarah is the author of the book: Read For the Heart which provides hundreds and hundreds of favorite children’s books and authors. Currently it is out of print but has been a favorite resource of many.
To celebrate all of you, I will be giving away one of Sarah’s books about books (a real treasure as it is out of print and sells for around $45. And also, I will be giving away an out of print book in the classical children’s series you all have seen upon my shelf. A generous friend said she would love to donate a copy.
