Congratulations Ruby Blogger of the Week – Angela De Souza of King’s Daughters

Check out Angela's blog at King's Daughters. Here is her featured blog post for this week:

Being a Wife - Who Expresses Her Feelings

After last week’s session we realised how important it is to express our feelings to our husbands rather than blow up at him when we feel hurt. One of the essential keys to avoiding unnecessary arguments is clear communication and more importantly the communication of our feelings.
You see, sometimes what we feel is not actually proportionate to what our husband has communicated. Or equally, our husbands misunderstand how we feel. If he knew how we felt, he might respond differently. Feelings come from our heart and often men speak from their head. We need to become wives who know how to connect what’s in our heart with what is in his head. The ability to do this will prove to be a valuable skill to build a more peaceful marriage.

Ruby for Women Blogger of the Week: Kathleen Flanagan of “Sassy Granny”

My PhotoRaised by parents of the "Greatest Generation," I grew up in the late 40s and 50s - the youngest of four girls. I've been married for over 40 years to my high school sweetheart, claiming three children, their spouses and seven grandchildren as my most valued treasures.

For much of my life I worked in business management, eventually finding my way into ministry. I now work alongside the Sr. Pastor in a sizeable, thriving church. Today I view life from the perspective that the best is always yet to come, which keeps me perched & ready for that next great thing. You might have guessed (and rightly so) that I see life in superlatives.

This week's featured blog post by Kathleen Flanagan is "The Year to Live Beautifully"

 Though we travel the world over 
to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us 
or we find it not. 
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
 
I made it!  I jumped (in truth, I slept through) the divide between 2011 & 2012 and lived to post another day.  
 
In my email inbox this morning is the usual conglomeration of needful and not-so-needful stuff.  I wonder when all the deals & web-busters & year end super sales will subside, although now they've morphed into new year's super sale ads ad-nauseum.  
 
Being the curious sort, I opened one such email - - an ad for vitamin supplements (and boy don't I need them these days?).  I didn't get far before stumbling across the retailer's proclamation assigned to 2012:  The Year to Live Beautifully.

January Book Give-Away: “Hope of Refuge” by Cindy Woodsmall

January Book Give-Away 

The Hope of Refuge

by Cindy Woodsmall

Raised in foster care and now a widowed single parent, New Yorker Cara Moore struggles against poverty, fear, and a relentless stalker. When a trail of memories leads Cara and her daughter, Lori, away from the city toward an Amish community, she follows every lead, eager for answers to mysteries from her past and a fresh start. She quickly discovers that Dry Lake, Pennsylvania, is no place for an outsider.

But one Amish man, Ephraim Mast, dares to fulfill the command he believes that he received from God – “Be me to her” – despite how it threatens his way of life. Ephraim’s sister Deborah is fearful of the strange Englischer woman causing turmoil for her family, but keeps focused on the marriage and home she longs to begin with Mahlon Stolzfus. Her dreams are threatened when Mahlon begins behaving oddly, withdrawing, and causing concern for Deborah and Mahlon’s mother, Ada.

Will the run-down house that Ada envisions transforming unite them toward a common purpose – or push Mahlon away forever? As Ephraim is torn between trying to do what he believes is right and the requirements of his community, he risks losing everything, including a developing friendship with the guarded single mother. And he knows that long-held secrets about her family history ripple beneath the surface of Dry Lake – secrets with the power to tear apart the home Cara is desperately trying to find.

If you would like to enter the January Book Give-Away at Ruby for Women, please leave a comment at the bottom of this post, including your email address. You will be contacted for your mailing address if you are the winner. The drawing will take place on February 1, 2011.
