I came across a ministry named The Marketplace thanks to a friend. I paid them a visit and fell in love. They are a Christian fair-trade store located in Davidson, NC. They work with artisans and ministry groups all over the world helping to provide employment and an escape from various bad situations some underprivileged people find themselves in when bad folks take advantage. These groups help to remove the victims from their situation and provide a way out through the production of various fair-trade goods. I feel a definite pull to get involved with The Marketplace in some way, and I will pray as to how to do that.

Welcome to my online home since 2004. I blog a bit about my life as it happens, my work as I am permitted, and occasional throwback entries. When I'm not writing new posts, I actively curate this blog, improving the wording or adding new media to old posts, and finally finishing old drafts I've left sitting for years. It is not my intention to be a source of news or content. I don’t have anything to sell, and I’m not trying to get likes/shares/follows. This site is an autobiographical effort - imperfections and all. My life, remembered in my words, my way.
When known, I include credit for photos in the captions. Contact me for photo credit or removal. *Side note: If you make one of my Mother's recipes, I'd be happy to post a photo of the finished product in the corresponding post, and give you full photo credit.
If you have comments or questions, feel free to visit the Contact page and fill out the form. I'll be happy to respond. Thanks for stopping by!
