Chrysalis Gallery

I was so delighted to get a text from Denny at Chrysalis Gallery asking if I would have my art available there through the end of the year. I gathered up most of what I had on hand that wasn’t already on my new website (www.SimplyMargot.com). I wasn’t sure how much he was going to want but he said he’d take it all.  Here’s some photos. He did a great job displaying it all. Stop by and shop local! My Hearts - Birds & Dragonflies FUSED Glass Earrings and Pendants Framed Mosaic Heartd Cards, Mosaics and Jewelry Sets

Words for a New Year

 For almost 10 years I have been choosing a word or words to be my focus for the New Year. I'm not a big fan of resolutions because the seem to come with a lot of guilt when you realize you have not lived up to your intentions. I started choosing words while I was in ministry school at the Spokane International Healing Rooms. People always laugh and say "Don't ask God for patience"  Not that having more patience would not be a good things. As those who have asked God for patience can attest - God is not your fairy Godmother who waves a magic wand and poof now you are patient.

To ask for wisdom you open yourself up to opportunities to grow in wisdom. What I like about choosing a word or words for the year is they keep working in the background even when I am not particularly focusing on them. The opportunities for growth and to...

Bingo on A Bus - The Adventure Continues

Not quite a month ago I got a text from my friend Bill. He works for Visit Spokane and they had gotten a request from a tour company needing extra tour guides, for a one day job taking a bunch of people by bus to some essential oil farm. They needed to hire tour guides for 11 busses to essentially greet people as they got on an off the bus and to play bingo during the hour and a half long ride to the farm. Plus pass out snacks and tell them a little bit about Spokane. Sounded fun and easy. Im in! I was able to clear my schedule to make it work,  so I called and told the contact person that I was interested. She wanted to know if I was comfortable talking in front of people. That was an easy yes. So the day of the event arrived and I got to the Davenport Grand Hotel at the appointed time and got my two yellow back packs. One full of prizes and bingo supplies the other with snacks. I found out that I was assigned to bus number 7. My bus held 53 very excited people who were Youn...
