As I mentioned yesterday, I am clearing out a room – 75% boxes of book, 25% art stuff. The bonus is that I get to go through the boxes of books before I shelve them in my husband’s office. It’s like meeting up with long lost friends. (Which also happens to be what I’m […]
Present Time Post #18
Today was a wonderful continuation of yesterday’s calm demeanor. I love this! The question is: am I just going through a no stress, no out-of-the-blue problem period or is this calm, “no-worries” mindset actually taking hold and creating a new beingness for me?

Jean Ray Laury – Woman of Influence
I lost my friend, my first teacher and my creative mentor last week. An amazingly creative and inspiring woman, Jean Ray Laury died March 2, 2011, just 3 weeks shy of her 83rd birthday. I have sung Jean’s praises many times over the years. She was my first quilting teacher, with her 1970 book, Quilts and Coverlets: […]
