Finding Peace Amidst Fear, Destruction, and Chaos

Thank you truly, Jeanne. You are so generous.  To be honest, I have to stop myself from embarrassment at any kind of personal recognition even though i really put my self out there in very personal ways on my blog. I don't see myself as a quilter. Making them is like gardening to me.  Sinking myself into the fabric like a metaphor for the equivalent of plunging my hands into earth. It's a kind of grounding and release into another state of being.  And it provides a creative expression on one hand and a sharing of my healing and spritual energies in a way that's not as draining as the other practices I once focused on as a way of sending out and doing good. I'm a lifelong volunteer and  a cause oriented person who can get a bit of OCD going when i feel the call to do, help, or give in whatever ways i can physically/energetically/spiritually give. When i look at my life, i often don't feel as if any of it happened or i did or do anything at all and and actually feel embarrassed at people even saying "I read your blog."  It's an altered state version of me in over drive. But at the same time it's also very nice when time and energy are recognized and touches others in any energetic or sensory way. You are an artist of the heart and spirit through your artwork, your tarot, all of the classes, this site and in so many other giving ways so i know you can relate! Look at all that you do in all the many ways you do them! Mirrors in the same tribe ;-)
