Some of my favorite quotes . . . Any day spent sewing (or creating anything, for that matter) is a good day!

A bird does not sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.

Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having FUN.

Laughter is the closest thing to flying.

Love is less a feeling than an action--it's the sustained ability to put someone else's needs above yours day after day, year after year.

Be true to yourself. No apologies. No regrets.

We dance for laughter,
We dance for tears,
We dance for madness,
We dance for fears
We dance for hopes,
We dance for screams,
We are the dancers,
We create the dreams.

God gives every bird it's food but he does not throw it into it's nest.

This hour, this minute, this breath . . . each is a wonderful gift.

Life is a classroom. We are both student and teacher. Each day is a test and each day we receive a passing or failing grade in one particular subject. GRACE. Grace is compassion, gratitude, faith, forgiveness, good manners, reverence, and the list goes on. It's something money can't buy and credentials rarely produce. Being the smartest, the prettiest, the most talented, the richest or even the poorest doesn't help. Being HUMBLE can help and it's a good place to start.

The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer someone else up.--Mark Twain

You must do the thing you think you cannot do.--Eleanor Roosevelt

A woman's heart is like a campfire. If you don't tend to it regular, you'll soon lose it.
