I HAD TOO: Soooo you mean to tell me that someone down your ancestry line survived being chained to other human bodies for several months in the bottom of a disease-infested ship during the Middle Passage, lost their language, customs http://peggyeldridgelove.blogspot.com/2020/09/rarely-repost-but-my-initial-decision.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9255304.post-8304004623425181983Tue, 31 Mar 2020 15:39:00 +00002020-03-31T10:46:45.169-05:00 So look what I've been up to recently. Yep, making greeting cards again. Someone recently introduced me to paper crafting and I've been on a roll since. I purchased a small die cutting and embossing machine, a hand crank one, and it just seemed my creative juices caught on fire! Here's a peek at some of what I've done. http://peggyeldridgelove.blogspot.com/2020/03/ss-so-look-what-ive-been-up-to-recently.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9255304.post-7673044437644925524Tue, 26 Mar 2019 18:55:00 +00002019-03-26T13:56:40.667-05:00 STOLEN JOY I remember the comment I used to hear frequently about 'not letting anyone steal your joy'. It was well intended, usually delivered with love or concern when people who genuinely cared about us became aware of our struggles - especially those struggles that related to another person or persons that it appeared we'd given sway over some aspect of our life. It was comforting http://peggyeldridgelove.blogspot.com/2019/03/stolen-joy-i-remember-comment-i-used-to.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9255304.post-4845867065422849758Wed, 26 Jul 2017 17:55:00 +00002017-07-26T12:57:17.972-05:00The Same GodI was confused for a while. Wondered how either I could be so wrong or people whom I love and have worshiped with, or, at the least, shared a common faith and conviction with could see the same events, the same people in such different light. I'm not confused any longer. I realize we are seeing the same things just filtering them through different strainers.  There is accountability http://peggyeldridgelove.blogspot.com/2017/07/the-same-god.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9255304.post-6456757325550560581Tue, 14 Jun 2016 19:28:00 +00002016-06-14T14:28:09.522-05:00You Beckon by Peggy Eldridge LoveDo you own this? http://peggyeldridgelove.blogspot.com/2016/06/you-beckon-by-peggy-eldridge-love.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9255304.post-2990731707316447436Tue, 16 Jun 2015 11:59:00 +00002015-06-16T06:59:57.993-05:00'21' Secrets Uncovered Tour with Shelia M.

I think it is the need for something tangible, some evidence of my efforts manifest that is the driving force behind that, but, along the way, it has also become very satisfying. I'm in a creating mode at present; the making things kind of creative mode.

I sincerely hope it will accomplish that goal. As I move in that direction with a new blog I realized it was in 2004, nearly 10 years ago, that I launched this one, Living on the Tip of My Pen.
