Colossians 3:17 “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the father through him.”

Foremost, I thank God for planting the seed of passion, love, inspiration and faith in my heart.  May my words, thoughts and actions reflect His will.  May I give and receive in His light.  Through Him all things are possible.

Words are unable to convey enough thanks for the incredible love and support from my tech savvy husband who made this website possible.  He encouraged me to create a site of betterment even when I felt unworthy.  He gave me an incredible gift when he believed in me more than I believed in myself.  He is the love of my life.  May we always encourage one another to share our gifts.  My daughters are my constant source of magnanimous  love.  They are my wind and flight and fill my life with miracles.  They are the light of my life.  May this be a minute part of our legacy to grow in love and peace.  My mother in law, an ever flowing fountain of youth and joy.  My mother and father, may I eternally honor in all my works.   My father for his passion and drive and my mother for her humility and strength.  Their wisdom and values I cherish.

To pastors that serve and share God’s gospel and make it come alive in the homilies.  My brothers and sisters in Christ who share His message you are an incredible force of Hope and Love.

My family for encouragement.  Our passion for life is immense.

Finding a name for this site was a tedious process.  If a name resonated it was either taken or not the one.  Until, we let it be and gave it to God.  A breakfast with distant friends would put an end to our search.  We enjoyed a lovely breakfast filled with laughter and love.  As we were leaving I joked about finding a name.  Without hesitation Angela said, “the nourished soul”.  I smiled at my husband we laughed and said, “I love it! It has to be taken.” and laughed.  We added the ‘our’ for the voice of people and voila my husband registered it!  Thank you Angela from the bottom of our hearts for the perfect name.  It inspires me beyond belief.  Sophia, thank you for the the beautiful drawing (above), I knew I would find the perfect place for it.  Your heart and words are so kind.  You are all a blessing.

Dana, thank you for sharing your faith and inspiring me to share my gift even when I didn’t have courage to.  Her blog, Little Lessons Learned by Dana is an inspiration to many.  Tonie, thank you for your good willed, tenacious encouragement and inspiration to keep on and just do it!  You are a reminder to put fear aside and let God take the stage.  You are a force pushing me forward to spread God’s love.  Your faith and knowledge of scripture is a gift.

May we always be a channel of peace.

Peace,

Claudia
