❤❤❤

All you need is love so they say..I've recently been noticing hearts everywhere. Not made hearts but rather hearts in nature, and with all this business of equal rights to marry happening right now, love is on my mind.

Having a teenage daughter in high school during these times has been incredibly eye opening. Sexual orientation is a complete non issue in her eyes, and apparently at her school too. You love who you love. Of course I realize that we are spoiled here tucked away in Northern California where everyone is more likely to be accepting then say....the Mid West. Although I shutter at the option paralysis she must feel trying to figure out how to love, it must be so refreshing to not have to worry about how you end up loving! I have a feeling there will be lots of twists and turns before she settles in and I am ready for whatever comes. Offering my eperiences to guide and counsel....

So without putting a red square and an equal sign on this page...go Supreme Court! Do the right thing...

Here s a little tune by Mackelmore and Ryan Lewis to inspire. Same Love.

My favorite baby and my favorite fabric..

Finally left town for a night to go visit my favorite little lady in the universe! Baby Zoe!
She's still adorable and quite a bit bigger. Also I got this amazing fabric and I want to make everything out of it...happy weekend! Hope you get to leave town too!

Right and wrong.

It is much easier to concentrate on what is wrong then what is right.
It's too early to wake up, I don't want that for breakfast, I can't find anything to wear, that person is driving like a maniac, school sucks, bank account overdrawn, wifi on the fritz, soooo tired.

Meanwhile in the little village of Timbuktu, in Mali Africa that my family and I would drive to on vacation as a kid, the Taliban have taken over. Those amazing fun loving people that would invite us into their homes, show us their crafts with pride, let us play with their children and animals are now ruled by terror. Literally. Safety is a luxury there. Condemned to death or public beating for love is routine. Of course this is only one example of some of the real wrongs in the world today. There are just as pressing problems close to home. This one just struck my childhood memory chord.

Globally I feel pretty helpless. I can not banish the Taliban from the world. Or end world hunger. Stop war. End domestic and child abuse. Not even sure how to end this post cause everything I could say ie: take the negative out, concentrate on the right, inspire others...just seems horribly cliche. But this reminder does make it easier to notice how much is right with us. Live thru example, be aware of what is right in your life and talk about THAT. Others will follow suit...

Luce Goods

I don't like to pat myself on the back....much, but picking my company name and using goods instead of something more specific was really a stroke genius. Ahem...this provides me with license to pick any "goods" I choose. Be it cycling caps, musette bags, embroidery or baked goods. It all works. I'm back on my sourdough kick and this is by far one of my favorite goods cause it makes the house smell soooooo good..

Another thought about me

I'm like a cloud, no hard or sharp corners, everything just, sort if, soft. Always there, being pushed one way then another by the wind.
Never noticed. Forever there. Sometimes letting tears fall to earth. Sometimes joined by friends, other times drifting through life alone. Quiet, except for the occasional roll of thunderous anger, then quiet, till the anger breaks through the calm facade again, creating thunder.
