"Lisa's Labor of Love..."

...landed smack dab in my heart

late this summer.

After making a long distance postal trip

from Indiana to Arizona

this special gift was then forwarded

to Illinois where I was in August and September.

What a complete surprise!

You can only begin to imagine

the wonderful joy this little handmade treasure

brought...

the best part of which was a thank you call to Lisa.

What a special moment it was indeed

to be able hear her voice

and

to connect with her person to person.

We have all intertwined

our lives deeply...both personally and artistically

through this magical world of

blogging...

but it is until we actually meet...

either in person or over the phone that

some magic happens...on a most special level.

I treasure this beautiful journal

and

the thoughtfulness which brought it to my heart.

Every page I turn...every stroke I pen...

every memory I create in it

will be tied back to the skillful hands and

most generous and loving heart

of our dear Lisa.

So much to be thankful for...:)

♥

"...a good friend is a connection to life-

a tie to the past,

a road to the future,

the key to sanity in a totally insane world.”
