Welcome, 2015


Well, we're only a few hours away from ushering in the new year... despite some sadness and challenges in the old one, it's been a good year and I have many blessings to count, in fact, too many to count!  I'm looking forward to a year filled with love, joy, abundance and forgiveness.  My biggest challenge is to put negative thinking aside- including worry, fear, anger, and regret- and focus my attention on the good in every moment.  My biggest wish is for family and friends (especially our 7 children and 10 grandchildren!) to know peace, love, and joy.

One of the joys of the new year will be to continue exploring my creative side- I decided to create a separate blog for my craft challenges, etc.  It is called Heart and Soul by Hand, and you can see it at www.heartandsoulbyhand.blogspot.com   I'm also hoping to open an Etsy shop of the same name... I need to build up a little inventory first- cards, jewelry, whatever handmade thing that suits my fancy- and I need to figure a way to mail cards safely and at the same time not pay more for postage than the cost of the card... hmmm.

I'll be doing a little traveling as well- Greg and I are going on a short trip to visit friends in Florida next week, we'll be going to the Bahamas as usual in the spring, I have plans for an Orlando trip with Katy and Ezra when school is out, and we plan to spend some time in New York this summer, where we will have two weddings to attend.  Then, in the fall, the BIG trip- to see daughter Becca and family in France.  I miss them so- thank goodness for Skype!

Thanks for stopping by.  Wishing every reader peace and joy in 2015!
