Ally's bracelet...

"BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE:  Sari and Tj gave me this beautiful bracelet for graduation.  Together, the oyster and pearl promote femininity, love, and inner beauty and proves that treasure lies within.  This bracelet means the world to me.  Well, today, I couldn’t find it anywhere.  On the verge of tears, I had no idea what to do.  So, I knelt down and prayed.  After a very worried prayer, I felt I needed to go to work.  9PM on a Tuesday night?  Pshh.  Ally, you turkey… Well, as I drove to the Y I became negative and started thinking the bracelet wouldn’t be there.  I ran into the Y and checked my headguard box.  Well, give me big ears and call me Dumbo, a little piece of gold metal was hiding behind my paperwork in my box.  Here is my bracelet sitting on my wrist and all because of His willingness to listen to my plea.  HE IS LISTENING TO YOU.  It sometimes feels that it shouldn’t matter to Him.  BUT IT DOES!!  If it’s important to you, it’s important to Him.  It matters to Him because YOU matter to him.  BTDUBS, Sarah and Tj, this bracelet is not leaving my wrist."





**Ally had posted this on facebook... but we talked about it and decided maybe it was a bit too personal to post there.

Turning the full-of-stuff-bins in my garage into an etsy store

It's time. I've been chattting this up for years.... YEARS. Been cleaning out my garage. Getting rid of soo soo much. Have sold a ton of stuff and donated lots. But there's still so much fabric, paint, wood, floral supplies, paper, jewelry making stuff... you name it, it's out there. I even have friends that will call up sometimes and ask if they can "come shop in my garage".  I dare not even put a round-about dollar tag on it all. The only way I can begin to justify it is by creating. Finally putting it all to some kind of use. Sooo, there it is. And here I go. If I think something might be fun for someone else to try I'll blog about it with instructions and photos and such. It feels weird saying that because like most people, there's WAY more I can be taught than I could ever teach others. Anyway. See ya out there!

New normal

Virus's, masks, hand sanitizer, staying home, conspiracy theories, hoarding, facetiming, toilet paper shortage, the worst of incompetency from the very highest level, gaslighting, so much blind and deafness (though, not literally), smokescreens, bold-face lies accepted without explanation.... the list goes on and on. First and foremost though, this is nothing to be made light of. The meme's were a good laugh in the beginning, but they're stale and old now.   People are suffering, people are sick, people are dying.  Medical workers all over the world are putting their lives at great risk everyday, working to save and protect so many.   Grocery and essential store workers, truck drivers and delivery people are making sure store shelves are stocked so we have what we need. It's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel.  Until there's a vaccine there isn't much "finality" in sight. People.  Oh, the people.  In so many ways huma...

Taking a little different direction...

Been thinking mucho the last several days about where I want my life to be. Is it crazy that I'm 47 years old and don't know? When I was 23 I knew more about what I wanted for my life (overall) than I do now. There are a few things I'm pretty sure about, but I also know I'm never going to get there if I'm always thinking so far ahead.  No more tomorrow, next week, next month, next year.  Uh uh. I really feel like everything is going to take care of itself if I live in the moment right now, and ONLY for that moment.  I'm also going to let myself be surprised... not always have everything so carefully calculated. And since I want the unknown, I'm not doing the 30-day photo challenge... So here's where I'm going... and I do know it's a good thing... though honestly, I really don't know where it's going to take me... but I feel like it will be, what it is to be... "Let it be, let it be, let it be-ee, let it be."
