This post gave me goose bumps. I hope you continue to heal and get more time to create and feel better. That work space / sacred space is a wonderful thing to have. Even if you are just there and can feel that energy. No need to "work". You are a special human with so much inner light. Thank you for sharing. <br />blessings, Cindy <br />Cindys Art + Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954711322108480892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799222218834967125.post-77430076588743075742013-04-09T18:53:56.471-04:002013-04-09T18:53:56.471-04:00Very nice to see you posting...so glad you're ...Very nice to see you posting...so glad you're back visiting your studio & hope you get to spend more time there very soon.

It had to be both exciting and scary at the same time. After not being in my own studio since the end of January, I had to force myself this week to sit at the bead table and make something, anything. It was not easy. <br /><br />Wishing you well as you continue to recover.<br />Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07545020113679133121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799222218834967125.post-36283487001935752292013-04-02T20:49:27.997-04:002013-04-02T20:49:27.997-04:00Mary Jane- So happy to hear that you ventured into...Mary Jane- So happy to hear that you ventured into your creative space. I haven't been away nearly as long (a week), but even so, it is always strange to venture in after being away. I can only imagine what it must have felt for you to walk into that sanctuary after having been away so long. I am so happy that you are slowly but surely healing in many ways. I look forward to many future postings of your beautiful work.--JulieThread Bornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14976508177978319576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-799222218834967125.post-72383634376294198082013-04-02T17:41:47.644-04:002013-04-02T17:41:47.644-04:00mary jane ... it is so very wonderful to hear your...mary jane ... it is so very wonderful to hear your voice here again ... you have been missed.

While I've been remiss at keeping in touch, you've been in my thoughts the whole while. Your Be Still earrings from Fiona arrived not long before you fell ill. They immediately became my favorites and are worn nearly every day. Such a beautiful message they carry and such warming thoughts of the friends who made and gave them. <br /><br />Sending thoughts of continued healing, wellness and friendship.
