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.
Scrap Lady Sharon Barnes

A child will integrate only those experiences that her primary care-givers can accept and hold, and will exclude from awareness those thoughts, feelings and behaviors that might disrupt her most crucial attachment relationships. These unacceptable experiences then remain undeveloped, unintegrated, and impossible to verbalize. They become … nearly unreachable places in the psyche that hold implicit experiences of relational trauma.
