Welcome

This is a documentation of my journey seeking "my best self"
I am a blessed woman, 2 healthy loving sons and an abundance of all that one needs.
This is not a journey to more of the material stuff, but in seeking my passion and living my best life.
Due to illness, parenting, and busy everyday life, life has lived me instead of me living life.
The purpose of this journey is to turn this back one step at a time.
How will I accomplish this? This I will learn gradually, one thing I am sure of each day of my journey will take me closer to myself.

Blessings,

ETA: I am separated and I can assure you it is for the better. The boys and I are doing good, they are sad but at least they have some breathing space now and don't have to march to the beat of their father's drum anymore. I am more relieved than sad and feel freed from his constant state of depression and lathargic way of living.

First sewinglesson...


YEAH my sewinglesson was a great success! I was somewhat nervous stepping into a strangers house and having to stay there for 2 hours LOL I like to meet people and observe them from a distance not that outgoing I guess. Once I know someone it gets better but I am not the kind to open up to strangers. The lady was really nice and young (I know age should not matter but I live in a small white dutch village and well the elderly are not to eager on meeting foreigners or "allochtonen" as they refer to us here) and she lived in Amsterdam for several years wich made her more worldly (read used to black folks lol) than most.


At first I was a bit apprehensive about choosing a project so she encouraged me to flip through some sewingmagazines to get ideas. My eyes were caught by a beautiful white wrap vest/jacket it was beautiful and elegant and simple in it's design. I wasn't to sure if it was do-able for me as a first project but she seemed confident enough for both of us. I traced the pattern and even though it was quite tricky following the right lines for my size etc within minutes it felt as if I had been doing this for years. The time flew by and I can't wait till monday for my next lesson! This weekend I will be on a mission to find the right cloth for my vest, it's great to feel passionate!


Blessings!
