if you are a woman - watch this - even if you're not a mom.

This was posted today by Kelly Rae Roberts, you may recognize her name from my sidebar.  I learned a lot by taking her "Flying Lessons" e-course and the one thing she shares over and over is that what you do matters.  She reminds me again today ;-)  Enjoy.

ThankFULL

 I'm wondering how each of you are spending your day today....are you cooking the BIG meal?  Or did you make a special dish to take somewhere?

Yes, the best part is not working today!  Plenty of time today to think about all the simple things  I'm grateful for - 

These things seem simple but are really miracles.

Each breath, to see, taste (especially today), hear, touch....to have the ability to speak, to move.  

I'm blessed in so many other BIG ways - to have my job - with so many out of work and losing their homes, I am thankful every day that I have a job in a safe indoor environment!!  I have WONDERFUL friends - if you are fortunate you might have a few very special friends that make your life a better place.  While I have lost both parents in recent years (who I miss very much), I am grateful for a brother who lives close and would be there for me - no matter what.  

I'm grateful to live in a country where I am FREE - to worship my God, to read what I like, speak my mind and free to travel and roam anywhere I choose.  I never take this for granted and is my most valuable possession ....freedom.

I want to thank each of you that have admired my creations, or purchased any of my artful pieces.  A HUGE thank -you to those who have taught me so much this year.  Tim Holtz, for him creating is like breathing and he shares what he knows openly and with gusto.  Wendy Vecchi, through her classes taught me to think outside the box.  Kelly Rae Roberts, her big heart and amazing e-course rocked my world and introduced me to a group of amazing artists that have inspired me, given me sage advice and more support than I've ever thought was possible!  

I have been invited to a dear friend's house for dinner - which will be quite a grand event with more food than we could possibly eat ;-)  Fun and laughter will be plentiful.  

SO..................... what will you be doing today and what are you MOST grateful for?  Yes, I reallllly want to know.

Share and Share alike....

I recently finished taking FLYING LESSONS with Kelly Rae Roberts and it was a wonderful inspiring experience.   At first I didn't sign up, but I just kept thinking about it.  Finally I decided to do it and it was worth every latte or magazine I gave up to take the class!  The amazing thing about Kelly (or KRR as those who took the class affectionately called her) is that she DOES tell you exactly what to do....all those baby steps you can take at your own speed.  She said it was very difficult to get those that had "made it" to share the tips and real information of how they got there when she asked.  She believes as I do that there is room for us all, we are each unique offering different gifts whether yours is cooking, sewing, textiles or coaching.   Many of us that have taken the class have become affiliates to spread the word as I am, giving you the chance to fly too.    This is not a rah rah, you can do it experience that pumps you all up during the class and then the next day you go back to your life.....OH NO.... this is a roadmap of the practical steps she took and what worked for her...so I'm sharing what I've found that helped me, in case it's what you need too ;-)  Check it out !   Click here to visit Kelly Rae Roberts LLC.
