The Person I’ve Become
I have never attended church on a regular basis. I have sort have gone in streaks over the years and I suppose it’s partly due to the fact that going to church every Sunday wasn’t a part of my family’s routine when I was growing up. I sometimes struggle a bit with setting aside that…

An Unusual Way To Go
Don and I were talking about my blog and he suggested I should stir things up a bit and throw in something that would potentially cause a spike in readership. He’s a guy and we girls know how guys think and he suggested I throw in a body part just to see what happens. I…

Trust Me
Since starting the job I currently have, I have been doubted on just about every move I’ve made and every turn I’ve taken. I came into the position with 30 years of retail experience, 40 years of sewing and crafting experience and also experience as a supervisor, department head and manager from previous positions so…

One Becky & One Bev
My sister and I have been told we look a lot alike by a lot of people over the years. Due to the fact that she lives closer to where we grew up and frequently visits some of the towns I’ve worked in, it’s not uncommon for her to run into all sorts of people…

The Bulls-eye Position
In general, I’m a pretty upbeat person. I try to focus on the positives but that doesn’t mean I haven’t had my share of tough times in my life when I was sure the sky was falling. As the years come and go we’re led through experiences that tend to reconfigure a lot of things…

Ruffled Feathers
I’m not sure why anyone should ever have to leave our store in a bad mood and thankfully the forces of nature help me out when someone believes they have a reason to be upset. Often times the bad mood will appear when their wait at the cutting counter or cash register has been too…

The Nicest Shade Of Lavender
This world is so full of fascinating people, isn’t it? Tonight I saw a woman with the nicest shade of lavender hair come strolling through the door of our store. It was clear she knew what she wanted and where it was. I didn’t see her again until she was unloading her items onto the…

Ruth Ann
Life is such an interesting process, isn’t it? We’re born and from that moment on our bodies and minds begin to grow and change as each day comes and goes. Before long we find ourselves glancing back over those years reflecting on the experiences and relationships that have shaped the person we’ve become and if…
