Hello Friends! I am going to leave February’s calendar a mystery because I need you to take a tiny journey! For a while now, I have been posting desktop wallpapers at two places – here at giantsandpilgrims.com and also on my art website betonycoons.com And honestly it add an extra level of work for me […]

Here we are at the close of another year. How does it go so fast? This morning on our early sunrise walk around the lake, Tim and I wondered together about what our guiding word for December should be. We talked about how we want this month to feel slow and sacred. How we want […]
This morning in my Facebook memories, a picture came up of our family gathered around a table lighting a set of candles. For the last several years we have celebrated All Saints Day (November 1st) by taking a moment to pause at the end of our day and light a candle for someone who has […]

This wallpaper is pulled from a little painting I have been piddling around with, painting glazes in layers with no clear intention or […]

Our pool opened yesterday and at 8 a.m. the kids were already in their swimsuits ready to dive in (even though it was only 50 degrees and didn’t open until noon […]
Recently I have been holding things a little too heavily. I get wrapped up in the to-do lists that never end. The messes that seem to multiply of their own accord. I forget to stop and laugh. So this month we are leaning in to Levity. With this desktop design, I want to remember to […]
