INGA Find her at a coffee house called Goodbye Blue Mondays, Her hands warming around a cup of latte. She is colorful. Lighting up the space Wearing a fuchsia sweater Her eyes framed by turquoise glasses. She will be there welcoming you, With a quick bright smile, her eyes shine bright. She will invite you to sit. You’ll stay for a while. Find her at home. Bluegrass music is playing. She opens a window to let in fresh air and Spring sunshine. Find her cleaning. Dusting her mind cleaning away cobwebs of anger and frustration. Sorting life out and finding meaning. Pondering all that happens both the good and the bad. Find her at work. Working with a silversmith Happy to do whatever needs to be done. Completing jobs big and small. Even the tasks everyone knows is no fun. Find her alone. Taking a moment of time She exudes peace and calm. Beneath the surface there is uncertainty In this time of transitions and change life weighs heavy on her. Find her moving forward. Like those she admires defying constraints Find her knowing. There is no need to fear, God has her back. She is encouraged to release worries and fears Find her looking forward. to all that lies ahead. Travel near and far Having time to share New places, spaces, and adventure For Michael and her it will be a time to rediscover All that they have always held so near and dear Find her in prayer. Praying for her family and friends Old and new Trusting in Her life built on a firm foundation Relationships Family, friends, and faith.
