Einstein said most of his best ideas came to him in bed, in the bath, and on the bus—places where it was inconvenient or impossible to write anything down.
Okay, so I’m not a theoretical physicist, but I can relate.
Sound asleep, in the shower, surrounded in traffic, strolling through Target, or in my yard—those are my Einstein moments. After losing more ideas than I care to count, however, I devised a battle plan to overcome forgetfulness.
Meet my weapons of choice:
- A recorder in my purse or pocket (surrounded in traffic, yard)
- Mini-notebook that fits in front pocket of purse (Target)
- Mini-notebook by my bedside (Asleep)
- Writer’s journal (general ideas, word pool)
Is there such thing as waterproof weaponry? Until then, I’m stuck with jotting down ideas after my shower, but otherwise, I’m without excuse.
So, when do your Einstein moments occur and what are your weapons of choice to battle against losing them?

It’s a fact. I have a proclivity for discovering newfangled ways of redeeming my time—perhaps to a fault.
It’s also a fact that I assume everyone else wants to make the most of their time as well (just ask Brian after I discover a shortcut to our destination…on second thought, don’t).
This is one of those times.
Feedburner emails me a detailed account of my blog hits every week. I barely notice. Numbers have never been my focus. Last week, however, my curiosity was piqued—so, I peeked. I noticed the visits per day rate three times higher than the amount of actual “followers” (those who sign up to have each post delivered directly to their email account). Now, I personally don’t care for that term, but there is an advantage to becoming a follower.
If you visit often (thank you!), you can simply type in your email address (see Feedburner in side bar) and say Goodbye! to bookmarking, checking back, or typing in the blog address. It’s a tremendous time saver. Your email address is not shared with anyone and you can unsubscribe at any time.
Regardless of how you choose to stop by, know that I am delighted and honored to be on this journey with you.

My most recent favorite find is this handcrafted birdhouse, picked up at a nearby church rummage sale.
The rim of Robin’s Egg blue first caught my attention, but I was taken in by the shabby tin roof, the heaviness of the piece, and a little tag still attached to it’s steeple announcing it once sat in a Michigan gallery.
Handcrafted, shabby, and money marked for missions. What more could a girl ask for?
