2017, Thank You!

The best meditation for me is the sense of gratitude for every single day that I am blessed to have - good or bad, exiting or exhausting, happy or heartbreaking - all of this is part of life, so complicated, unexpected, but oh so beautiful! This was a year of breaking through my fears, of having a little bit more faith in myself and lots lots of work, both for The Gift Of Knitting and for my new job. Though it was definitely not the easiest twelve months, I wouldn't change a single thing - I learned so much and met some very special people that I know I will carry in my heart through all my life.
