Hello readers...

Hello to my dedicated readers, thank you so much for subscribing. It's been an insane two weeks, on so many levels. Between my health setback two weeks ago to just life in general getting in the way of planning my podcast I had begun to have doubts about whether or not to continue with the podcast, until I had an amazing lady who I just met encourage the socks off of me. 

Last week I felt rather discouraged that social media crafter darling Amy Tangerine was going to start her own podcast, with an angle quite like the one I've been using the past two months. Amy, I know that was not your intention to discourage me, you probably don't even know who I am off the top of your head. But there I was, still reeling from my health set back and I was like 'Well here's lil ole me, how am I going to gain listeners/subscribers when I have that to compete with?' After sharing that with my new friend last weekend, she said 'There's room enough for all of us'... and she's right. We're all crafters, yes, but we all have different ways of expressing ourselves, and encouraging others. Amy has always, and still is an inspiration to me. Every time I pick up her book when I'm feeling as if I'm in a creative schlump her stories, and infectious joy zaps me back into my creative rhythm. We're all different, and I'm not everyone's cup of tea. 

As an encourager I haven't felt like I've been up to the job, and you, my listener's and loyal friends have been there for me, and for that I am so thankful. Words cannot express. 

With that... I'm going to sign off and get started planning some exciting new stuff for the Duchess.
