I am sitting in bed today sniffling and coughing but secretly enjoying the fact that I'm wrapped up warm, can wander through blogland guilt free and have an excuse to still have my PJs on!

I have been trying to get officially back to work for the last couple of days but have been distracted, procrastinating and avoiding it. So I have decided to gift myself the next few days as an extended holiday. I am going to do things I want to do, not have to do. (except maybe dishes & laundry!)

What do you think of the beautiful embroidery selection I found on Flickr?

Starting to bloom

This quote has been pinned beside my computer for the last 3 years and it has taken me until this month for me to actually start to blossom. I have stayed stagnent for so many years, through fear. But no more!

This is the beginning of my new beginning.
