Here we go again

Having just linked my E-How articles to fb in hopes of garnering more reads, I remembered that E-How switched things around a little last year, and I left myself out of the loop. Apparently, people love to read about bakin' bread and makin' babies, but potty training is a long-distant choice for passing the time and having a good laugh...now if I write an article on the foibles of potty training, people would line up to read what I've been through! Anyway, I don't consider myself a professional writer, but it certainly is one of my favorite means of expression, and I like to think I can write a mean zinger if and when it's called for. My friend Judy is similar in this quick wit-slinging style, and I think I might mention the opportunity to write articles for E-How to her as well...
My current creative projects here at home are a bit fragmented - I'm knitting a scarf for Chris (with plans to monopolize it ruthlessly upon its completion). The first and last item I've ever knitted for Chris was a sandy colored "sweater" sans pattern that hasn't amounted to much - other than some hilariously funny faux Etsy pics that we posted on fb for laughs (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=36906&id=1650505117)... Just this morning, I cut one of my potholders in half in hopes to create a new pair of slippers for my little EB. This child has Huge feet! I picked the potholder for the rubbery material (great for keeping little feet from slipping on hardwood floors), and since it's silicon, he could walk on coals with nary a scorch. Maybe he'll go for shaman training someday. Chris has been playing around designing some fabrics to make purses and cell phone holders, and I'm hoping he will share so I can make these booties spiffy!
Oh, have I mentioned how thankful I am that Winter Break has come to an end? I may have a family of 8, but I'm still an only child at heart...haven't resorted to locking myself in the bathroom for solace these past few weeks, but I did come pretty close. It's just amazing to me to think that we have arrived at the year 2011... How does time keep passing when I continue to live in this perfectly lovely 17 year old body? Well, I'll never know. I have been making some great discoveries these past few days - including Julia Rogers Hamrick's Choosing Easy World: A Guide to Opting Out of Struggle and Strife and Living in the Amazing Realm Where Everything is Easy. I downloaded onto my iphone and read it from start to finish in two days. Having been obsessed and blessed to thirst for spiritual growth, I've read masterpieces from such authors as Neale Donald Walsch, Esther and Jerry Hicks/Abraham, Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolle, Napoleon Hill, Jane Roberts/Seth... and many more (and daily worship the world-spanning influence of Louise Hay!). Hamrick's book is so easily accesible - I recommend it to anyone who would like to switch over into Easy World and make it a habitual home of the heart.
I'm off to work on that scarf I mentioned - or maybe just sit around and eat bon bons. Heheheh...
