freedom – Joyful Healing, Dogs and Quilts

Clothes

I think the best part of being 60 is no one cares what I wear. I have bought a couple of tops that are no nos for my age. I love them and will wear them. Freedom and joyful healing!

We are in!!!

Celebrate with me my wonderful fellow bloggers! A 40 year dream has come true! We are in our booth!!!!

For the last week or so, we have been cleaning out Christmas. I thought it was going to be hard but it’s almost freeing. I know next year I can put out what I want. We even second handed Christmas dishes that belonged to my bio mom. It seems like such a long process butContinue reading “Christmas”

Courage

It has been a week of courage. Monday, I invited my friend and her kids to the house. We are having plumbing issues but I knew we could manage. I have never done a same day invite! (Her kids were sick so she didn’t come but I did invite them.) Today, I sent my cousinContinue reading “Courage”

Revelation!

Five years in the cleaning

It went much deeper and involved abuse by my Grandfather but that was it. Tonight I also realized it involved my mom in that I wasn’t allowed to doContinue reading “Five years in the cleaning”

Oh no!

My work computer bit the dust. I am struggling with just my phone so I had to make a quick decision. I ended up buying a computer on a 12 month interest free as long as it is paid off. I needed to take a leap of faith and am going to use it toContinue reading “Oh no!”

Balance

Church this morning, then cleaning and tonight, a bit of work on market bags. We are headed back to Alabama this Thursday for the weekend so I need to catch up. Oddly, no panic or concern about success. Just planning. There is a kind of freedom in healing like this.
