Milk and Honey Day 30: Inheritance
Inheritance is about far more than money. Long before we arrive, others are already shaping the ground beneath our feet through the stories they tell, the values they model, the traditions they create, and the sacrifices they make. As I worked on the Milk and Honey collection, I found myself asking not only what I have inherited, but what I am cultivating for the people who come after me.
Milk and Honey Day 24: The Symbolism of Clouds
I've always loved clouds. Growing up on an island in the Chesapeake Bay, the sky was part of daily life, and I learned early that some of the most dramatic beauty arrives wrapped in uncertainty. This post explores why clouds have become one of the recurring symbols in the Milk and Honey collection, and what they reveal about wonder, mystery, faith, and the light we can only see because something else is partially obscuring it.
Milk and Honey Day 19: Rivers and Living Water
Rivers and waterfalls appear throughout the Milk and Honey collection as symbols of movement, provision, and the steady flow of life. Drawing from childhood memories on the Chesapeake Bay, biblical imagery of living water, and the landscapes that continue to shape my work, this post explores why water has become one of the collection's most enduring themes.
Milk and Honey Day 17: The Promised Land
The Promised Land was never just a destination. It represented inheritance, provision, identity, and a future generations had been waiting for. This post explores why the wilderness years mattered, what the Israelites had to learn before they could step into the promise, and why the difficult in-between seasons of our own lives are often where the most important transformation takes place.
Milk and Honey Day 11: Why Bees?
Every spring, our azalea bushes would hum with hundreds of bees while everyone else kept their distance. Day 11 explores why I’ve always been fascinated by them, and how bees became one of the central symbols inside Milk and Honey through themes of beauty, motherhood, provision, resilience, and the quiet work of sustaining life.
