Sewing Bloomer Pants

Saturday, May 16, 2026

 


I'm making these for sleepwear.

Using a pair of pants to make a pattern. Lace, fabric on hand, draw string and elastic. I even have an old embroidered tablecloth, and some lace that I can make into bloomers.

Or, maybe old pillow cases?

Or, remaking sleeping pants?

You Are Amazing

If you carry one thing

with you today, let it be this

You are amazing, strong,

brave, wonderful, kind,

loved, worthy and there

is no one like you.

She loved me in the only way she knew how. Allow yourself to grieve, the mother you didn't have. Allow mourning.

Hearing Loss

Sunday, May 3, 2026

 

I hope that some of you have these conversations with friends or people you know.

Often, when trying to have conversations I find that they cannot hear me. I have to yell at people. I don't like that I have to yell, it makes conversation very difficult.

Today, I had that problem...they couldn't hear me with me yelling. I stop trying to talk to them.  It is very difficult...I am bewildered and disappointed.

What is a person to do? Start writing notes? Teach them sign language?

They clearly do not care about this problem. They are difficult and will not do anything about it, or even understand the problem.

I need to address this issue for me. Should I not try to talk with them, just smile and nod? Maybe, I need to stop trying and avoid them?

Heart and Soul

Friday, May 1, 2026

 



 Start putting your heart and soul into the little things you do.


There’s a big difference between empty fatigue and gratifying exhaustion. Life is too short. Invest daily in meaningful activities. 

Don’t wait around! Too often we wait, because we think we need to “find” something new or different to be passionate about. But that’s not true. If you want more passion in your life right now, act accordingly right now!

Put your whole heart and soul into the next thing you do. Not into tomorrow’s opportunities, but the opportunity right in front of you. Not into tomorrow’s tasks, but today’s tasks. Not into tomorrow’s run, but today’s run. Not into tomorrow’s conversations, but today’s conversations. I’m absolutely certain you have plenty in your life right now that’s worth your time, energy, and passionate focus. You have people and circumstances in your life that need you as much as you need them. 

You have a massive reservoir of passionate potential within you, just waiting. Stop waiting! 

There is no tomorrow. Put your heart and soul into what you’ve got right in front of you! Become it, let it become you, and great things will happen for you, to you, and because of you.
