Ready, Set...

Well, there's no time like the present.  The only way to get going is to start, so I start as a toddler learning to walk.  I needed an outlet that wasn't trapped between pages, where I could learn and share and grow.  I want, no, I need to set my inner artist free... she has been struggling to escape for many years now.  She was pushed aside by life.  It happens.  But she took so much of me with her when she went into hiding.  There is room once again, and I want to be filled.

So today, I have invited her back.  I am starting on this journey of self-discovery, and I hope you'll walk by my side.  I don't like to be alone.  Well, I know I'm never completely alone, as God is always in and around me, guiding each step if I'll only listen.  But I long to share the gifts He's given to me, and I long to learn from the gifts He's given you.

It's a beautiful 100 degrees here today!  It is a very hot one, but it is a day that we're all still able to share in, and we have much work to do.  Even though I may not know you well as of this moment, I hope that will change.  I look forward to our journeys together. :)

As for the name "Lifesongs and Lace?"  Each moment, each sight, each sound, each memory burns a song of this life into my heart.  Thus, "Lifesongs."  As for the "Lace"  -  I am a very hard worker, no matter the task at hand.  And whether I'm re-roofing a building, painting walls, moving furniture or fixing broken trinkets, I am still all girly-girl and love to dance and laugh and have fun.  Life is too short to be all curmudgeonly, so I choose instead to twirl in JOY!

Be blessed!
