Today I want to share with you a post I read from Women Living Well. If you've ever been so lonely you couldn't eat or too afraid to let someone in, this is worth a read. Women Living Well
While I was walking through Michael's Arts and Crafts a few weeks ago I saw a skein of Red Heart Shimmer yarn. I had already been seeing visions of a peppermint swirl design in a scarf or a hat. When I saw the Shimmer in red and white I knew I had to make those little balls of shiny goodness into something fun for Christmas! As you can probably tell by the name of this scarf, I had visions of peppermint sticks in mind. I tried a number of ways to make the strips go diagonal, but after starting a few different designs, I decided that vertical strips would be better. I really love the way this came out, so I'm sharing it with you.

Back when I began this experiment with hemp oil, I told you that I was hoping for some help with depression and mental health. Naturally, that kind of treatment takes time to show results. Any psychiatrist will tell you that mental health is a slow change and most prescription drugs show results only after six to eight weeks. Well, it's been about that finally! The good news is that I am seeing results! I was an emotional wreck for most of last autumn (the instigating reasons aren't relevant here). I was working through a LOT of emotional baggage. With a number of unexpected challenges that hit me and my family in quick succession, my depression increased tremendously as my morale decreased. I needed something to help me do the necessary emotional work to get back on an even keel. Q Sciences broad spectrum hemp oil, Q Fuse , is what I've been taking. In my previous posts I have told you how much it's helped with my energy, pain, and brain fog. Now I am comfortable s...
Now those of you who know me well know that I have become absolutely addicted to reading my books on Kindle. I love my Kindle reader and wouldn't go back to paper books for anything (except, perhaps, a lack of a Kindle edition). And no, Amazon.com did not pay me to say that. ;) I've always been the kind of person to read more than one book at a time. One or two fiction, a biography, self-help, my Bible, knitting and crochet books, and more. I sometimes have been reading as many as five at a time. With my Kindle I can carry my entire library everywhere. Oh, and I also sometimes use it to look up song lyrics on the 'net when I need to sing at church and am a little self-conscious about forgetting the words. So imagine my disappointment when my new 3G Kindle stopped working a couple months ago. I tried to turn it on and the screen was damaged. Between you and me, I suspect little feet kicked it while we were in church. Oh, yes, did I not mention that? My Bible is on my Kin...
