Currently – I am…
Missing MY SISTERS. They each live hundreds, even thousands, of miles from me and I do not often get to see them. I am beginning to feel very sad that LIFE prevents us from gathering together to share and love and hug one another.
Purging MY LINEN CLOSETS. It is no secret that I have a serious problem with collecting textiles. Well, sheets, blankets and vintage pillow cases are no exception. It is time to sort and ponder just how many of these beautiful things I truly need?
Wondering WHAT THE NEW YEAR WILL HOLD. There is certain to be change, I wonder just how huge it will be?
Creating A NEW WORKSHOP. I am honored and proud to be part of this year’s all new 21 Secret Workshop. 21 Artists joining together for one full year of artistic learning and fun!
Offering UP MY WORRIES. I doubt this category will ever change. I have to continue to trust in the good Lord and remember that my life is in His hands. He will take care of all things.
Hoping FOR SOME TIME WITH FRIENDS. Each passing years proves to more difficult in terms of finding time for friends. My family consumes so much of my time, but friends are vital and I hope to find a way, in this New Year, to make more of an effort to carve out time for those important people in my life.
Listening to LINDSEY STIRLING. An awesome, young, hip-hop violinist.
Focusing ON THE NOW. What is important in the future may not be what I need to focus on right this minute. So many things that are in the now have the power to make me happy. I don’t see the need to concentrate on the future, one that may hold hardship or sadness. There will be a time for that, but not now.
Sorting THROUGH 406 PHOTOS from our trip North over the Holidays. Overwhelming but fully absorbing - I find myself smiling as I sort, remembering each newly acquired memory.
Learning THAT LIFE DOES NOT SLOW DOWN FOR US. I have to stay above water and it is tough sometimes. I wish I could just hit the pause button for a few moments, or turn the dial to a speed slower.
Sewing ON SOME DIFFERENT MEDIUMS as part of my upcoming new workshop.
Loving MY SPRING CLEANING. Okay – I know it is not Spring YET, but no one bothered to tell the state of Florida that. Today it is 85*, so it feels like the end of winter to me. And while we are sure to get another cool front, the warm weather and bright sunshine are all the motivation I need.

I have never taken an art class, ever! (54 years old)., always pursued my left brained education, jobs, pursuits. But...drum roll, I am signing up for your 21 lessons. I am so excited. Thank you for gathering all the talented teachers into 1 comprehensive onpine class.
Oh Gail! We will have so much fun! Actually I would like to take credit for organizing this event, but I did not! I was invited to be part of it this year and was both thrilled and honored to do so! I am so looking forward to teaching, as well as learning alongside of you all! Have a Blessed New Year and Happy Creating! Stay in touch!
Regards,
Rae
