So, with all the crazy things going on in the world these days, I've busied myself with creating more crafty things.  It's great therapy.  I've also revamped my website and am hoping to be more diligent about blogging.  So many of you have been asking what I've been up to.  Well, I've been up to being frustrated with 45 and the way he is dividing this country, his lack of empathy, the outright lying, and complete disregard for our planet.  I'm trusting we will be able to pull it back together and I stand with those who are marching and speaking out about the injustices.  I have a shirt "I'm Marching On The Inside" for any given day.  It is encouraging that so many people are finding their voices and are joining with others.  We will make it through this, one day at a time as they say.

That being said, I was playing on-line poker the other day and my picture is Be Kinder written on a chalkboard.  There was a guy at the table with a couple billion chips but had only played a few hundred hands. He was going "all in" and re-raising every hand.  I said, "Buy chips and bully.  Nice." Well, he proceeded to call me a hypocrite and telling me to be kinder, etc.  I understand where he was coming from, my comment was a little snide.  However, being kind does not always mean being nice, in my opinion.  The important thing to me is that my words come from a loving place, a caring place, an empathetic place, and sometimes an Idon'tlikewhatI'mseeing place.  I think the time has passed for us not to speak up when we see what we perceive to be mistreatment of another person, animal, planet.  The more people speaking up, the louder the voice.  I will continue to speak my mind, as I believe we all should. 

Regarding my website, Go Daddy has an awesome new platform called Go Central.  They are so helpful.  I've linked this blog to the site.  I'm going to be working on being more present on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.  I've added quite a few pictures of things I've made for others and for myself.  I appreciate those of you who have referred people to me.  I love creating personal things, either for gifts or just because.  If my pictures prompt you to want to order something, please contact me and we will figure it out.

Well, that's it for today.  I'm going to go publish my website now.  Let me know what you think.
