Wise ol' Redwood

so, i feel i should probably start out this blog by saying happy new year/spring.  the days have definitely flown by since the last entry, and for a while, i was feeling like abandoning this whole project. i didnt want to sew, period.  shortly after the festival in which we vended, it was time for my daughter and myself to continue on our journey.  i knew living up in ukiah was a temporary situation, but this last move was a tough one.  we are now nestled in the beautiful redwoods, not far from the ocean. its where i first wanted to move, before my ukiah detour, and now am making my dreams a reality. but, it hasnt all been peachy.  it has been trying, not only my patience, but my faith, spirituality, sanity, security,etc.  this has been a year for healing, and what a better way to do it,  chillin with thousand year old trees.  man do they have stories...anyway, this has been an adventure.  singing, creating, laughing, crying, meeting like minded people and just plain letting go of all the bullshit that keeps us from truly loving ourselves. the more i let go and truly listen, the more the doorways in life continue to open. i wouldnt be able to stop creating if i tried...its who i am. on that note, i have designed eight new shirts, yay, and more keep flowin. the best thing about this experience we call life, is that when all is said and done, i will have gained stories...like the redwoods.
