Waste not

transition

I really had not intended to do monthly journal quilts this year. I was going to "let" the project I made for the Take it Further challenge serve a dual role. But the more I thought about it and the possibility that I might try a different sizes, styles, and/or mediums with the challenge AND I did make these fabric samples - just couldn't let them go to waste. I guess I took it even further.


Living consciously...

I understand that facing deep shameful secrets about yourself can be helpful. Embracing those parts of the psyche that you might hate or consider unlovable. I wouldn't want to spend too much time doing it though. Some secrets, yes - regrets, no... I am the sum of my parts, good and bad. My experiences have brought me to this point in my journey and the next steps I take will be influenced by those experiences, not controlled by them.

Now, I got the tune from The Wiz spinning in my head:

Ease on down, ease on down the road
Come on, ease on down
Ease on down the road
Don't you carry nothing
That might be a load,
Come on...
Ease on down,
Ease on down the road
Ease...On...Down,
Ease...On...Down,
Ease on down, ease on down the road!
