After the spiders' prompt (finding the inexplicably crawling on me in the car - tiny ones) that I should be spinning - it IS that time of year, after all...I've been spinning.  More hemp and bamboo for facial scrubbies.  The ones I made before are holding up, so I will attempt to make these more attractive and perhaps give them as gifts.

Ever go for a good portion of time believing something and then find out it’s just a misunderstanding, a lack of appropriate information, or the result of an outright lie -sometimes all three?  With the exception of the last, most times it’s harmless and easily correctible, but it can be embarrassing if you have passed on the information thinking ( Read more... )

Dreaming is my way of healing. It is my way of searching for answers to problems that elude me in life. It is a useful tool for me, but even more so with an IPod!

There is a LOT going on in my own life - and I know many can relate ( Read more... )
