Sewing...

When I was a young girl my mother taught me to sew and I loved it. I use to make some of my own clothes and even made myself a bathing suit once. And when I became a mother I made Halloween costumes every year, a prom dress and some of their everyday clothes. And there was always the many crafts to be sewn that I loved creating too. Then a few years ago I started sewing for a lady as a job and I did it for about eight years. It sucked the fun out of my sewing and since I've stopped working for her I've had a really hard time getting myself back to the sewing machine. It just sits there with endless projects in front of it and a longing. But I want to find that love again for sewing. Like everything else... one stitch at a time... one project at a time... the love will return!

Melt down...

"Don't forget your human. It's okay to have a melt down. Just don't unpack and live there. Cry it out and then refocus on where you are headed."

I do forget often that I'm human. My mind is so busy surviving and working at keeping it all together that I don't allow the melt down and the good cry as much as my body asks for it. But the times I have, I do refocus and start again. It's a good reminder to embrace my humanness in this present moment.
