What is it about Here Women Talk that interests you? This is not required.
A new friend gave me this.....It is a great introduction.

Six years ago I had a reawakening. I entered a new place in my life, and since then my quilts have been Art Therapy, and the Lady on the quilt represents a healthy, whole, free lady who is confident and comfortable with herself. This blog tells about where I am with my new, six-year-old self. I hope you'll enjoy.

Fearfully Love

Posted on March 11, 2011 at 6:02am 1 Comment

“He who cares the least has the most power.” Is a quote that I heard, but have no idea who is the author, but I agree with it.

 

Did you know that it is possible to care so much you are frozen to act, to speak, to do, that it will literally freeze you?

 

Who would think that inside of ‘caring’ you would find fear?

 

But here is the deal, if you care or love a person so much, what you are afraid of is losing something for you.  It no longer becomes…

My mind now knows it.

My feelings are like energy magnets and they seem to either be drawn to someone or pushed back, I am unable to steer my feelings, they have a life of their own.

 

I can be friends with someone, and then they do something that changes who they are, and I don’t even have to wonder what to do, inside of me the desire to be with them changes and I move away.

 

Some will say the friendship or love began to cool, and what I believe happens is new information comes in…

Child neglect, nurturing yourself and the child within

Posted on January 5, 2011 at 9:00pm 5 Comments

In the past few days I have been tangled and untangled, in the present and in the past, with my mother and with my boss, young and then old, a child then an adult, feelings from the past trickling into the present, until I feel frozen in unknowing how to be, how to respond etc.…

Morning Beth,

I saw your post earlier at FB..."I think it said, what does this teach us?" 

To be honest, I'm not sure.  Very sad news.  So many "what ifs."  One of my best friends was murdered not long ago.  I will never, ever understand such violence. Never.

Hi Beth,

Welcome to HWT where you are free to be you and where you will also find hands of support if needed.  This is turning out to be one heck of a group and I hope you find it as refreshing as I do.

I've checked out your blog, your writings and quilts are beautiful.  Glad to see you here.
