Life Lessons Learned While Quilting

If it has to be done, make it fun.
Look everywhere and see all there is to see,
even if no one else sees it.
See life through the eyes of an artist
Look for life’s colors, shapes, textures,
and shades of light and dark.
Don’t shut down when you face problems;
open up to ALL of life’s experiences.
Learn the same thing as often as necessary until you know it by heart.
Multi-task without multi-tasking, make what you do accomplish several things at once.
Take whatever comes to you in life and transform it into a beautiful adventure.

Compassion begins with the acceptance of what is most human in ourselves, what is most capable of suffering. In attending to our own capacity to suffer, we can uncover a simple and profound connection between our own vulnerability and the vulnerability in all others. Experiencing this allows us to find an instinctive kindness toward life which is the foundation of all compassion and genuine service.
