Seeing/Identifying Myself Differently
The last time I posted, I was on my way to a quilting class at John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC. The risks were many (as elaborated), and I not only survived the experience, I thrived. And now I have to do some more risking . . . What am I risking? Seeing [...]

Dawna’s Blog Risk #1
