Mindfulness Challenge Week 9: Touch

The Things We Touch Every day we put on clothes, we pick things up, we cook, we slide our fingers across our keyboards and our phones – mindlessly.  And yet, in each of these is a touch, a texture, a temperature.  The fabric we wear is stretchy, silky, or soft; the dishes are cool andContinue reading “Mindfulness Challenge Week 9: Touch”

Mindfulness Challenge Week 8: Possibility

Projects New yarn, craft supplies, patterns… These are the materials that become the projects that become the process that become the product. This is possibility.
