I mentioned that I wanted to do this on Facebook and immediately my friends responded with charities I had never heard of. I donated to: Shepherd's Gate in Livermore for the battered women and their children, Society of St. Vincent for their work with the homeless, Terranova Church for their charitable programs, Testimony Life Resources for therapy sessions and Children of Grace for Uganda orphans. Today I am making a donation to SonRise Fellowship there in Fallbrook or their pregnancy support program.<br />
<br />
My Christian card decks are absolutely beautiful and I love that they are helping people all over the world. That puts a big smile on my face.<br />

I have been moving at full speed since the middle of January.<br />
<br />
Since January we made an offer on a house in Fallbrook, sold our house in Mission Viejo, put our beloved dog Tysha down (very heart breaking and it was the day we moved :( )transitioned into our new home, and our fourth grandchild was born. The last two happened within 3 days of each other. We were in the new house 3 days when we had our 18 month old grandson stay with us for a week. It was a wild and crazy ride and we were exhausted as you can imagine. We made it through and we now have some time to kick back and enjoy our blessings!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">You may have noticed that I took some time off this year. I didn't do anything with my business except fill orders from my Etsy store or from returning customers and retailers. I wanted to spend 2105 with myself and my family and it has been a great year, filled with whatever I wanted!! </span></div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the last 3 months I have had many people come to me and suggest I rethink my strategy of taking another year off. One lady said people weren't ready for my Daily Whispers when <span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">I launched the product but they are now and they are needed more than ever. She spent 30 minutes stating her case and strongly suggesting that I keep going. Another lady bought a dozen decks to give all her girlfriends for Christmas and she believes the ripple effect of her gifts will surprise me and I should get ready for more orders. I have had an inquiry for a retailer in Laguna Beach and then last night I met an angel who's goal is to help parents communicate with their children and she reached out to me because of my kids and teen Daily Whispers. She wants to help me get the word out about my cards and how to use them. As an author, speaker and coach I believe she could do it!</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">

<div class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As 2015 draws to a close I am feeling grateful for all of my customers and friends who have supported me all these years. As far as 2016, I intend to think more about the advice I have been receiving. One thing is for sure, a balanced life is necessary for me so I will see how I can incorporate the growth of my business with my family time. I am feeling hopeful that I can do it!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">"I am happy with who I am. I am one of-a-kind and </span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;">I cannot be compared with anyone."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since an early age we begin comparing ourselves with others. We want to be stronger, smarter, funnier, shaped differently, have more hair, less hair, curly hair, straight hair, a flat belly, rounder boobs, taller, shorter, thinner, browner, etc. For some people the list goes on and on. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To be on this roller coaster of thought is self-destructive because ultimately the reason we want to change on the outside is because we are not happy on the inside. There is a hole in our heart saying, "I will be worthy, find love, be liked, be seen, etc. if I look like this..." </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Let's face the facts. We can become smarter and funnier with some education, that's easy. But we can do little with what our parents gave us genetically. If we have the money and desire we can fix our nose, increase our curves and made a few cosmetic changes. If we don't like our curly hair we can have it straightened. If we don't like the color of our hair we can change that too. But if we make these cosmetic changes will we begin to feel worthy, find love, be liked, or be seen? Most likely we won't. Because we haven't filled the hole. Only when the hole is filled will we find happiness. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Recently I was reading a pattern making book and the ladies who wrote the book give classes where they trace the silhouette of their students. This is part of their process to help women see their own body shape and use that information to create the perfect sewing pattern. The authors noted that in the 25 years they have done this, with thousands of women, never have they found 2 exact bodies! </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are basically 5 body shapes; hourglass, triangle, inverted triangle, rectangle and O</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0agFgjaLHk8/VkD4Y9Kd-oI/AAAAAAAACjs/b1xmfFTnsvQ/s1600/IMG_6787.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="192" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0agFgjaLHk8/VkD4Y9Kd-oI/AAAAAAAACjs/b1xmfFTnsvQ/s400/IMG_6787.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Fit for Real People By Pati Palmer and Marta Alto</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Within each body shape there are numerous differences. High waists, slumped shoulders, uneven hips, tall, petite, etc. Knowing this, "how can we compare ourself with others if we are all uniquely different?" Our uniqueness sets us apart from others. We were designed to be unique, one-of-a-kind!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How do we release this desire to compare and secretly wish we looked like someone else? </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It always comes back to our daily whisper. If you find yourself falling into old habits of comparisons tell yourself to stop. "STOP!" Instead say, <span style="color: #b45f06;">"I am happy with who I am. I am one of-a-kind and I cannot be compared with anyone."</span> Once you begin the process of a loving daily whisper magical things will happen. Your beauty will begin to shine from within. And you will become worthy, you will find love, be liked and be seen. </span></div>

<span style="color: #65789c; font-family: "quattrocento";"><span style="font-size: large;">For those people who know me,
I am kind, funny and happy. I love my family, friends, dogs, cats and
most animals with four legs. I enjoy painting, sewing and creating. I love our
planet, and everything that surrounds me. My passion is to inspire and
help people find their value and happiness (thus my Daily Whispers.) I
sound pretty good but believe me I am far from perfect. For instance, at
times I say really stupid things and I am extremely uncomfortable around people
who are angry so I mentally check out and retreat to my happy place. When I
feel revived I come forward and address the anger but sometimes that
is too late for the person the conflict occurred with. Yikes, the
cold hard truth is difficult to keep from deleting! haha<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #65789c; font-family: "quattrocento";"><span style="font-size: large;">I have a strong personality
that can I can soften with deliberate consciousness when need be. I
practice this when in a networking environment or somewhere I need to show up
more as a nurturer. When around family and friends; people who know me, I
let my guard down and become myself. This just means I am a combination of all
the good and bad in one. If you can't be who you are around your family
then what do you do? Escape to a cave with puppies? When I am relaxed and feel
safe and at peace I say what is on my mind and sometimes it can be perceived
totally different than intended. I am reminded of my favorite quote:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #65789c; font-family: "quattrocento";"><span style="font-size: large;">"It's not what happens to
us that effects our behavior, it is our interpretation of what
happens to us that effects our behavior."<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #65789c; font-family: "quattrocento";"><span style="font-size: large;">This quote is important to me
because it reminds me that everyone sees life differently. We all interpret
what we see in different ways and this means that I can't judge how someone
sees me. I am reminded of the story of the two sons of a man in prison for
armed robbery. A reporter asked each son a question. One son was a professional
businessman and the other son was following his fathers footsteps. The sons did
not live near each other and they were asked this question at different times.
The question was, "What do you owe your life decisions to?" Both sons
gave the same answer, "With a father like mine, what choice did I
have?" Both son's had the same thought but one felt he had no choice
but to be his fathers son and the other decided he would do whatever he could
not to end up like his father. Two viewpoints in the same family. So with that
we must remember that our actions and words can be interpreted many different
ways depending on who is doing the looking and listening. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: #65789c; font-family: "quattrocento";"><span style="font-size: large;">How do we all survive together
in harmony?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #65789c; font-family: "quattrocento";"><span style="font-size: large;">I wish I knew the answer. I
believe that if our intentions are love based then when we are misunderstood we
know in our own heart we meant no harm. We then can sleep at night and feel
good about ourselves. But what do we do about the pain we caused someone
unintentionally? All we can we do is say we are sorry and mean it. And try to
understand where the conflict came from and put it in the back of our mind to
be more careful in the future with that topic. Life is messy sometimes and I
don't like that gooey messy part. You would think I would be used to it by now

with puppies would be ideal but I think I need to step up instead. Another day
of learning.....<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

When my business first launched its plush toy line I had a goal in mind to always promote positive thinking. I saw it an extension of my Inspirational Card Decks. Here were the first two items I made. I painted the fabric and sewed on little banners of whispers.</div>

With text and email who uses blank note cards? I do!! When is the last time you went to your mail box, opened it and found an envelope addressed to you? It is such a special feeling to know someone cares enough to take the time to write a personal note. I still have faith that note writers are out there and they will see my new whimsical cards. Each pack has 8 cards and 8 envelopes. </div>

This little cutie was a custom order. I used to make my Comfy Bear Blankets often and now I just make them to order. This one is for Anna, her Auntie ordered it for her. Let me warn you, if you begin to give them to the new family members you can never stop. Babies like them so much that they want their little brothers, sisters and cousins to have one too!</div>

I finally had a chance to make one. This is a Garanimals sweatshirt size 18 months that I enhanced with a new lining for the hood and added a little emblem owl.<br />

In my mind they trickle down from the heavens and fall into our minds. Some of us think about the idea and some of us act on the idea. I have had many times where I thought of something and didn't act only to find it in stores in the future. I hate missing out on a opportunity like that.<br />
<br />
It wasn't surprising to me to find that cloth napkins are becoming very popular. They are so nice to use and it feels good to contribute to the green way of life. We use so much paper, less than we used to but I think we should cut back whenever it is easy to do so. Yesterday at a boutique where I had a booth and was selling my creations one lady after hearing my pitch on why to buy cloth napkins commented, "You must like to do laundry!" I thought it was an odd comment but replied that I have to wash my clothes anyway and it was pretty easy to add some napkins to the mix. Obviously she didn't get the "green" concept but everyone else did. I sold 20 sets of napkins along with 40 other items so I feel good that some people are getting a product to use that is also helpful in keeping our forests intact.<br />

<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I created these little guys that I call Cuddle Wumkins two years ago. I sold quite a few then the orders slowed down so I stopped making them. I am wondering if I did the right thing and would love some non-biased input. They are made of fleece and about 11" tall. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 23px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Do you like them? Are they sellable? What do you think they should sell for? </span></div>

Imagine how happy I was to see my cards on display at <a href="http://www.yubablueonline.com/">Yuba Blue</a> in Auburn California. This store is the gift buyers fantasy. They have everything from boots to yard decor. I wish they were closer to me because I would shop there every time I needed a gift for a friend or loved one. Sadly, most of the specialty gift stores in my area have closed due to the recession.Barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12669613004939847222noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3288550588347832945.post-42785923101831501852012-10-03T23:36:00.002-07:002012-10-18T09:01:03.637-07:00Infinite Earth Spirit<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Have you been to <a href="http://www.yubablueonline.com/">Yuba Blue</a> in Grass Valley, California? It is one of those wonderful stores where you can find something for anyone on your gift list while getting lost in the beauty of the displays and merchandise.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I don't live in the Grass Valley area but my sisters do and I whenever I come for a visit we stop in. When I was ready to sell my Daily Whisper Inspirational Card Decks both of my sisters said to call Yuba Blue. I was thrilled when Lillie said they would give them a try (they were my first retail store.) It seems the decision was a good one for both of us because they keep ordering more! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In October I am going back to Grass Valley to see my sisters, meet Lillie and see my cards on the shelf of Yuba Blue. If you drop in this is what the display looks like. Tell them you learned about their store from me, Barbara at BSL Creations and take a look at my <a href="http://www.dailywhisper.com/">Inspirational Card Decks</a>.</div>
