Take time to listen to the rain!

Last night and today it's raining cats and dogs; actually today is more like the monsoon weather I experienced living in Hawaii years ago. Torrents of rain against the roof and then soft drops soothe me, as I sit here listening. I am reminded of a beautifully orchestrated song by Nora Jones, "Come Away with Me"...a sultry blues number that talks about the rain falling on a tin roof. Though no tin roof, my house is designed with skylights—they are my little windows to the sky.

 
Listening to this thunderous, yet gentle song from the heavens, reminds me that God has provided us some natural stress relief from the hectic days we lead—yet how easy it is to ignore such a simply wonderful gift. As I sit here this afternoon, I am being lulled into such a peaceful time, as the rain intensifies and then calms and then repeats the pattern. What a lovely blessing to my spirit; relaxing and renewing!

I’m thankful for renewal…it’s a time to reflect on the status of my life at present and seek the vision for things to come. There are exciting things happening at Bluegrass and the circle of our family is growing. More about that soon! :O

 
Speaking of things to come—Thena and Sharon are working on a product whose time has come and we are all extremely looking forward to sharing it with you. Well, I say product, but actually that should be plural. You’ll find out!

 
The genius of my Bluegrass family never ceases to amaze me. Misti is already working on a new book that is certain to be a blessing for all you scrappers out there. Fast, fun and creativity to the max!

 
Expand the passion… that’s Veronica Hugger’s tag line at NSA! (We proudly sponsor their database.) However, it’s our goal, too and WOW!—do we have some great things coming for scrappers, cardmakers, digital fans, crafters, moms and everyone else who doesn’t do anything of the sorts.

 
Oh, the place’s we’ll go…it’s pretty amazing how far we’ve come in less than 3 years and it’s getting better all the time! Our Bluegrass family will soon bring you masterpieces from all four corners of the country and many places in-between. One more thing—we’re going British, very soon!

 
Spreading the “Word”—has become such a novel idea!
