Everyday throughout the year people can struggle with stress
be it from family dynamics, work/school, bills, anxiety,
depression or mental health issues, abuse (emotional, verbal and physical), bullying.
These struggles are real and can be a daily struggle for family, friends,
co-workers and strangers around us.
Sometimes the outside appearance of happiness isn't what is going on
behind closed doors or on the inside of a persons life.
These struggles can make it very hard for people to stay in this world through it all.
If you know of someone struggling, please reach out to them.
If you are the one struggling, you are valued, loved and the world is a better place
with you in it. There is only one you and you are so very precious.
You matter, you make a difference in the smallest way
to everyone who knows you.
You make a difference to everyone who comes into contact with you.
Please reach out to someone you love, a friend or a stranger.

You do not have to hide your struggles

We lost our son at the end of 2023.
It has been the hardest time of our lives.
Our lives will never ever be the same without our Robin
and our hearts are forever broken.

Good morning, welcome to my blog.
We have been blessed with a little bit of rain
a few days. It really has made the leaves, grass
and dandelions pop.
It is nice to see the bumble bees enjoying the pollen
they need from them to survive.
We have a brand new challenge for you
come join us for our
Challenge #547 - Real or Faux Stitching
this is always one of my favorite challenges
I usually break out my cross stitch floss
this time I did something different.
Our wonderful sponsor for this challenge is Rachelle Anne Miller Digital Stamps
showcase
Isn't this image adorable.
It spoke to me as I absolutely love to crochet, Tunisian crochet
and would love to learn how to knit someday.
The image was colored using Copic Markers.
I used two different stitched dies today,
they were from my mom's stash of dies.
It was nice to use some of her supplies today too.
The paper was from Taylored Expressions and Stampin' Up.
Please come join us at Creative Knockouts...show us your stitching.
Thank you so much for joining me for my brand new creation.
