My sister makes exquisite quilts.
At my pre-launch—I signed a contract for my first book party—she asked my supporters to write words of encouragement for me on pieces of material that she incorporated into a blessing quilt.
I’m holding the quilt in my banner photo. When I think about giving up, I reread the thoughts of my friends and colleagues and preservere. I am thankful for the free webinars, countless hours spent in other writer’s company, and the libraries filled with authors’ books I love to read.
It comes back to why I write. I write to create and express who I am, to be seen, to pass along what I know to be true, to share whatever wisdom I have attained, and to empower others.
The light in me acknowledges the light within you.
I couldn’t find the quilt picture, but I enjoyed your story about it. What a lovely idea (and a loving thing) for your sister to do!

Love the idea of such a meaningful quilt. And the process in making it.
I just saw this message in my spam folder. Thank you for supporting my work with your comments. Sometimes, it feels like I write and nobody hears me.
I tried to sign for your blog, but was unsucessful. I answered your email about if I was that Woody from Morningside in the 60’s. Last I looked, it said my comments were waiting for moderation?
