Many stories bound as one

We all hold so many secrets, so many secrets, so close to our hearts ... we hold em in there and coddle em like new born babies and then when the spill comes, we let it lose on the world or our family and friends, like a great named waterfall ... and then sometimes the tears, just won't come ... cause there's much work to do, a magazine to build, or a stack of canvas to paint, or a quilt to sew. This quilt, will represent so many stories, so many triumphs, defeats and victories and so many fears. I've been super tearful at the sewing machine lately ... my sewing adventures, began at birth ... then my sewing adventures ended with the death of my sweet, sewing Mother ... she's been gone more than twelves years and each year, I'm able to sew a little more and I feel one big sewing celebration coming on and yes, I am so blessed to gather, knowing my someday is on it's way, my someday when I can buy five yards of fabric and not cry ... Maybe I'll even sew on a SUNDAY.

Blogging Revelations - A Kelly Rae Roberts E-Book reader Confession

... re posted from bloggingrevelations.com - 1/10/11 My very first private e-class was Kelly's and it was awesome! I learned so very, very much. But some things are never in a book, never written down. In her e-class/book Kelly stresses the importance of blogging in so many ways. Blogging was the first item of discussion in class. Blogging is the first chapter of her e-book. Blogging , blogging , blogging . I've been a loyal follower of Kelly's & Anna 's for years now. Yet I'm not on any of their list. I've searched through their archives for the secrets to their success and found them on more than one occasion. I'm a speed reader. I read super more then the average person in one day. I love books! I love information & like Reed on Criminal Minds, I love to share tidbits of what seams to be the most unrelated information that I've gathered. When my Daddy, would say something is very important.

When I wear sh?! kicking boots, I feel conﬁdent. When I talk about blogging & the new economy , I get excited & tend to ramble. When I exercise by George Benson , on Broadway I have a burst of energy. When I look around the room, Iʼm most drawn to the color red . When I visit the country , I feel alive. When I see old barns , I get hungry for more. If all my obligations for tomorrow were suddenly dissolved, I would paint for 24 hours straight.
