About Us
Once upon a time, I was told that I couldn't do it. That I shouldn't dare. That the dream was too
risky. That the risks too scary. The only people behind me were my three sons. And together, my
three sons and I built a dream. Can you imagine building a dream with your sons? There are days I
feel like the luckiest person alive. And that feeling has its roots in the darkest time in my life.
How's that for something to think about on those dark days? Gold is found in that darkness. Gold
that you don't even know exists. Hang on to that thought and come be part of our journey.

Thought I would follow Terri's advice about starting a category. Last night I wrote a piece on my blog about shame. This morning, the Bone Sigh Art that arrived in my email box also touched on shame and touched my heart. There are no coincidences, are there? So, I'm sharing here the link to my story "A Child of Shame" - somehow that seems the thing to do today, to share this with you.

*I always struggle with writing. For me, the process is very much like the famous quote from Red Smith: “Writing is easy. You just open a vein and bleed.”WOWZA....this just about made me come undone as I read this in my e-mail this morning from Brene Brown's blog, Ordinary Courage....not only is the quote incredible but I always find her so full of inspiration and grace....and of course, I posted about it, very loosely thinking of Stitched while I was writing it....hoping she sees this here....Terri, what a miracle you have created here....

hey, laurel...did she see it? have you connected with her thru facebook too?
i just like to make sure all the connecting lines are connected, ya know?
that's one awesome quote, isn't it?
there's some line in a song i keep hearing about 'opening my wrist' and i can't
hear it without thinking of stitched now.
amazing how we all touch each other....
-
it truly is....she has touched me in a very special way that i get and then i don't....i just really like the part where we are all holding hands through this...makes all the difference to me....thanks again for making this space for us...It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”"
