Longing.....

This Summer has been one that I will never forget... it has been one of many trials... My dear Dad passed away in late June.. still having trouble dealing with his passing and missing him so desperately... I find myself just crying, my heart clenching... and wishing I could see his smile and give him one more hug....

Also, have been dealing with trying to find a new home.... one for Bertha Louise Designs and for my family... been very trying.. dealing with, a bit on the trying, side Landlady... to put it kindly...hehehe.. and trying to find a home that we can afford... dreaming of living in the country... my heart has always been there .. and making a house into OUR HOME!!!! Still a one woman show.. with a half a woman's energy....hehehee... so not getting near as much done as I would like... and my heart.. oh dear been having fits with it!!!! But doing better... wanting to be much better.. so that I can continue on in my work....

I love what I do.. I love reaching out to people, making them smile... giving them a gift hug... creating new things.. and remaking and reusing.. in that creation.... oh loving the laces and sparkles and shimmers!!!  And dreaming, oh yes dreaming of a better way of living.

Encouraging others to be kind, to love, to share.... to create.. to reach out!!! And try and grow myself.. not panicking... not getting blue and not letting my hurt feelings...grow into anger and bitterness.. but to reach beyond my human self .. reach out to Jesus .. through the Holy Spirit and Forgive, Love and Grow... oh to be better than I am!!!

Hoping that today.. you are blessed.. that you find peace and joy...

Much love, hugs and kisses... from Me to You!!!!
