From the comments it seems like a lot of the anxiety I felt in beading this was kind of "washed away" in the beading and that the underlying happiness has come through.

I will definitely make a pact with you to stick with my size! I love your blog & added you to my feed reader so I can follow your progress!

It has turned out great. I can relate to journeying through the rough tides in life, and like the ladder you have put up for yourself and the chance you are giving yourself to let the growing just happen! That is such a wise lesson to all of us.<br /><br />My guess is not that you were much calmer than you thought, but that you beaded what you need at this time: a place to become calm, to feel loved, cherished and ground for growth. Your tree of life will thrive well with the chances you grant yourself. You are a powerful woman!<br /><br />I hope you will stick to your size. I chose a 14 X 14 cm (I think that is about 5.5 x 5.5 inches) and chose to bead my life too. Let's make a pact to stick to our challenges, we will achieve great things together!<br /><br />Hope to hear / see a lot of you this upcoming year.Deeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18258188651834672950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6205603691988027058.post-26244355990258834582010-02-03T13:30:14.940-08:002010-02-03T13:30:14.940-08:00Denise- thanks!

My main thought was how meaningful and beautiful this piece is -- then I thought as a bonus, it's actually a "journal"! I know that feelings about things and emotions go into all of our pieces, but this is indeed a visual journal.<br />A+!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6205603691988027058.post-57727573382874527612010-02-03T01:35:19.358-08:002010-02-03T01:35:19.358-08:00So pretty!So pretty!Denihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17825985912390725734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6205603691988027058.post-22934717155799360862010-02-03T00:23:06.757-08:002010-02-03T00:23:06.757-08:00Oh my goodness - thank you all for the wonderful c...Oh my goodness - thank you all for the wonderful comments! <br /><br />Lisa - I did forget to mention the tree! I felt like I needed something on that side and I love the Tree of Life symbol and it seemed to fit with the rest of the piece. <br /><br />Susan - Thank you! I appreciate the good thoughts.<br /><br />Arline - there is a museum in Fresno I want to go to some day. When I do I'll let you know - I'd love to meet!<br /><br />Holly - I hadn't realized it but they are calm colors. I'm surprised because I didn't feel calm in January!<br /><br />Cyndi - thank you. I think someday it's going to bring back good memories for me.<br /><br />Carol & Karin - I'm so glad people think it's calming. It is making me think that inside I was perhaps calmer than I was on the outside and that came out in the beading.<br /><br />Sharon - It really is different here than SF area. It feels like a slower pace but I do love it. I get stressed but I'd be brokenhearted if I had to leave!<br /><br />Robin - It is a definitely a journey and I just need to remember that and try to enjoy the process. I guess it's like beading, while the finished piece is wonderful the process of working on it is where most of the joy is!robin michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512210501809058988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6205603691988027058.post-82593457718730743152010-02-02T23:09:43.047-08:002010-02-02T23:09:43.047-08:00Dear Robin!

There's such a gentle, softness to this piece... and I see by your words that you and Jill are being gentle with you, allowing change to happen but without forcing or hurrying the outcome! Maybe I'm a little biased, but I think both of your BJP decisions are good ones. I love pieces that are journals, as yours certainly is. And I love how it's developed for you in this first piece of the year. As I said on my most recent post, it's a journey and this first piece is a marker along the way. Good work and good journey beginning in 2010!<br /><br />Robin A.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700778413231259614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6205603691988027058.post-26030101270058127522010-02-02T21:27:20.793-08:002010-02-02T21:27:20.793-08:00Hi Robin, Im visiting from BJP Blog 3 and the minu...Hi Robin, Im visiting from BJP Blog 3 and the minute your piece loaded I just said "Ahhhhhhh." Its true what others here said it seems to represent sweetness and peace, I'm very taken in by it. I now live in SE Texas but I am from the area north of Sacramento. Its true that the area is much different than San Fran. I hope you come to love it just as much as I did. We hope to move back someday. I am definately going to follow your progress and see how your journey turns out!Sharon Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10844810991923493630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6205603691988027058.post-87742766159620624082010-02-02T20:16:49.154-08:002010-02-02T20:16:49.154-08:00I also love the colours - it reminded me of clouds...I also love the colours - it reminded me of clouds when I saw it.
