Easter is a perfect time for new beginnings. Here I am, writing my first blog. Something I always wanted to do. It’s makes me a little bit nervous, make that a lot nervous. Putting myself out there for the whole world to see. I do believe this is what God had planned for my next.  I gave myself until the end of March to either get started or to forget the whole idea.  Naming the blog was the hardest part.  Every name seemed to be taken. I looked through books, magazine articles, even the bible in search of something different.

I sat down in my favorite quiet spot and prayed.  In that still small voice of God, my head kept saying call mom. Of course I wasn’t really listening.  (About a year ago my mother had a stroke. To make a long story short we opted to put her in a wonderful assisted living community. She has dementia. Her short term memory is quickly fading.)  The “call mom” thought would not leave my head.  I was in the midst of prayer and thought calling mom could wait until I was done. The “call mom” persisted..  I finally called my mother and told her about starting my blog and not having a title for it. It took some time explaining to her what a blog was and why I needed a title before I actually started writing. Without hesitation she said “MeSewLaneoUs.  She went on to tell me exactly how to spell it. My mother has always been a very sharp women, especially with words.  I wasn’t sure about MeSewLaneoUs at first and asked if she had anything else.  “Nope, that’s it”. Who am I to question.  So thus my blog was born.

Wishing you many new beginnings and  Easter blessings
