Facing the Day

A noise, maybe, or beam of light,
wakes me.  I stir in bed and slowly
remember the tasks ahead, peel
the covers off and sling my legs
over the edge.

The worries weigh on my eyelids
sitting in class after class.
The endless lectures adding to
the mountain of stress.

I escape to my room, slide
my comfy clothes on.  I sink
under the pile of blankets.  My face
reaches the soft pillow.  My spine
stretches, as I wait for the dreams
before the sleep seeps in.

The Alchemist

"We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it's our life or our possessions and property.  But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written by the same hand."

Painting without Paint

Now that my summer class is over, it's time to be thinking about heading back to dorm life!  Try using paint samples if you are looking for a way to add color on your walls!  Blue and green are my favorite colors, so I just used a bunch of different shades.  The possibilities are endless!

Just for Krista!

Key Chains

I found these cool key chains on Pinterest and thought I would give them a try!
Click here to see the instructions I used.  I ordered the key fob hardware and fusible tape from Amazon.  The cotton webbing and ribbon came from JoAnn's.  They fun to make, and I love how they turned out!
