Organization and Realizations

Over the last two months I have come to some realizations in my life about how I want to be. These are born from watching what's going on around me in my home, my community, my nation, and on the world stage. So much change...

Change is a good thing but I believe that you need to realize it's there otherwise you will be unable to move with it. When we first brought my second son home there was one night that my older son had a mild panic attack. He wasn't able to adapt to the change of having a baby in the family as readily as his father and I, and so his little brain did a small reboot. We managed it, we learned from it, and we haven't had a repeat performance yet. I say 'yet' because you never know what's coming and with kids there's always a 'yet' peeking around the corner ahead.

I will be changing this blog. I want it to be cleaner, more engaging, and current. I have made the conscious decision to participate in a limited number of electronic and analog media, let my FOMO [fear of missing out] go, and be more present for my husband and children. I am still passionate about the subjects I've featured here before, but it's not my main focus right now. I want to show you what is and how I am expressing that, and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do.

The New: Bullet Journal, Get to Work Book, Quilt Pattern and Instructional Writing, Calligraphy and Handwriting, and Surface Pattern Design.

The Old: conservation, knitting, quilting, and sewing.

The Out: Facebook and wasted time on/with electronics, procrastination...
