YOU SHINE & A WINNER

Like the sky opens after a rainy day
we must open to ourselves.... Learn
to love yourself for who you are and
open so the world can see you shine. 

~James Poland

  1. Hi Tracey,
    We have quite few things in common (especially # 25). I wish you lived closer, I could teach you to make a pie crust and we could explore quilting together.
    Now that the snowstorm is over (was that really necessary, so much damage in just a few hours) my spring allergies are kicking in. But the sun is shining and I have a to do list as long as the Danube river, I better get started. Have a wonderful day!
    Hugs,
    Maria

  4. Here I am talking about your bees and your allergic to them! I aim to have salad everyday and one day I hope to say I don't drink soda anymore.

  5. I make vodka pie crust religiously but I can not make a round crust when I roll it out. I always have to do a little cut and paste! Great list! Thanks for sharing.

  6. What a delight to read your list! I chuckled at the going barefoot year round following on the heels of having a lot of shoes. I hate to drive too. And would love to learn how to quilt. And can keep secrets. And...well, you make a lot of sense to me :-)

  16. Oh, I'm with you on the spiders, math, soda, and shopping malls - all yuck! Though I am trying not to instill those feelings (about the spiders and math) in my daughter. If she wants to major in math and keep a pet tarantula, that's her choice. But come on, no chocolate chip cookies?!
