About Me
- Anna Morrison
- Just a girl seeking peace, hope and love through daily life with four kids and a husband that is working on his PhD. I homeschool our kids and enjoy reading, cooking, baking, sewing, blogging, photography and watching films. I am attempting to live simply and creatively. We definitely don't have it all together here at home, but we are learning a lot and we're having fun on our many adventures.
What God is Teaching Me These Days
Be kind
Listen well
Be compassionate at all times
Be open minded
Love with my words and my nonverbal communication

Favorite Quotes
- "Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are anger and courage. Anger at the way things are, and courage to see that they do not remain as they are." ~ St. Augustine
- "Christianity stands or falls with its revolutionary protest against violence, arbitrariness, and pride of power, and with its plea for the weak. Christians are doing too little to make these points clear ... Christendom adjusts itself far too easiliy to the worship of power. Christians should give more offense, shock the world far more, than they are doing now." ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
- "As long as people use tactics to oppress or restrict other people from being free, there is work to be done." ~ Rosa Parks
- "Give until it hurts, because real love hurts." ~ Mother Teresa
- "Joy is the best makeup."~ Anne Lamott
- "Out of intense complexities intense simplicities emerge." ~Winston Churchill
- "Forgiveness is not an occasional art, it is a permanent attitude." ~Martin Luther
- "May God give us all openness to ways leading beyond our own selves." ~Mother Teresa
- “Be the change you want to see in the world.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi
- "Education is an Atmosphere, a Discipline, and a Life." ~Charlotte Mason
- "Love accepts all and gives all. Love should be as natural as living and breathing." ~ Mother Teresa
- "We have come to the place where we can honestly say that there is no distinction in our home school between home and school--we are living to learn and learning to live all at the same time. That is what happens in a home." ~Sally Clarkson
- "I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent." ~ Mahatma Gandhi

What a gorgeous gal...inside and out! I'm so glad that you loved your day with family. I have loved knowing and growing with you the last 10 years..wow! I can't wait to see there this next decade takes us. Love you bunches!!!!
beautiful Anna, Thanks for sharing your day with us. Looks like the family celebrated you perfectly. Thinking of you on your birthday and Mother's Day.
love, Jen
My precious friend, sweet Anna. Words are too few as I try to express my deep love and appreciation for you and your friendship. You are a blessing, as a friend, a mother, a wife, a sister, a daughter - in every area of your life you strive to love those around you. You are always looking to serve.
I think of you every time we sing the Prayer of St. Francis (Sarah McLachlan version).
"Lord make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. Where there is sadness, joy. Oh, Divine Master grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it's in giving that we receive and it's in pardoning that we are pardoned and it's dying that we are born to eternal life. amen."
I love you. Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday sweet girl!! Glad to say I have known you for most of these thirty years!
Love you!
