Sooooo much has happened!!

Hello everyone!  I can't believe how much has happened in the last couple of months, much less the last two years.  There has been so much change going on with me and my life, that I have had to focus pretty damn hard on just getting through it all.  And recording any of it was just too time consuming.  It has been wonderful, and even sometimes painful, but I really wouldn't change a bit of it.  I was well past the point of needing these changes and I am grateful to have made them and to be continuing to make them.  My life has improved so much that I am astonished at having been stuck for so long.  Guess I just had to meet the right people and be in the right spot!!  ;-)

Well here I am, and I am proud of the accomplishments I have made and in the person I have become, and I haven't been able to say that in a looooooong time.  I have made some major progress is dealing with and managing my clinical depression and now I have joined an Art Co-op to help build a business for myself in a creative format and to help bring my community together.  Although we just started this Co-op, we are having a wonderful time working towards our goals.  I am looking forward to all of the wonderful new experiences and friendships that will come out of it.  I am also making plans to take an Art Coaching class so that I can officially teach a particular art style.  I am giddy with excitement and nervousness about it, but I definitely want to do it!  

So stay tuned for pictures of the Co-op and more news on my class as I work my way towards it!  Yippee!!!

May you be blessed!

Birthday and House Warming Party

So we finally got around to having our house warming party.  We decided to have it coincide with my birthday.  It went pretty well considering less than a dozen people showed up of the nearly 40 who were invited.  It was a beautiful day.  The sun was shining.  The temperature was in the upper 60's.  There was children's laughter echoing in the valley!  Can't really complain.  We were very happy to have guests over yet very sad that we didn't get to see the rest of our friends that we haven't seen in a few years.  But maybe we can figure out another time that they can come up.

My next surgery will be happening on the 24th of this month.  I have already made several hats.  Now I need to get the horns done for them before I will be unable to do any crocheting for a couple of months.  And I have to get graduation announcements sent out as well.  I will be very busy this week!  But that is OK.  That's all for now.  See you around!  Go enjoy Spring!!!!

Blessed Be.

New Year and a New Start

Ah.......The new year has started and of course I am behind.  So many things have been happening lately that I can scarcely keep track.  I am feeling so much better from my surgery!  The scar doesn't even look half bad.  :-)  But in a few months I will need to go through it all again for the other side.  But I am fine with that.

The best news to impart, and what has taken up so much of my time lately, is that we have finally bought a house!!!  We managed to FINALLY close on it the 9th of this month.  We were beginning to think it was never going to happen.  And frankly, looking back at the incompetence of several of the agencies involved, it is a miracle we got the house at all!!  That being said, I refuse to ever work with them again.  The only ones who did their job properly were our realtor and bank.  The rest were just fools who don't deserve to continue to be in business!!  But we are now home owners and although I am excited about it, it also scares me.  But I have faith that all will be well.

Now we just need to get settled in and then have a house warming party!  I hope we can figure out something soon.  I so want our friends and family to see our new place.  Plus, now we can see about getting internet again so that I don't have to wait so long to post anything.  Then I feel I need to find some way of immersing myself into creativity.  I am feeling rather low when it comes to being creative and that just won't do if I want to heal my soul, live life fully and start my own business.  We shall see what I can get myself into.  :-D

That is all for now folks.  Hope to be back soon.

Blessed be

Operation and Other News

Well, my operation is scheduled for Oct. 1st.  I was fine with the idea but now I feel kind of worried about it.  I really hope things will be fine.  If you would, please send happy wonderful thoughts my way.  I could use all the positive energy I could get.

House hunting is still going slow.  Not sure I even want to keep looking.  Really would like to find something soon.  I would like to move before the weather gets bad. 

And, I was making good progress on hats and coffee cozies, but there have been so many other things coming up, that I am not getting very far at the moment.  I hope that will get better soon too.  I pray that everything gets on track soon.

May we all be blessed
