So much for good intentions! I had intended to blog more but life got in the way and here it is almost a month from my last entry. I finally sent out my monthly newsletter. It was late by necessity this month. My brother-in-law passed away unexpectedly and we have been away from home, being with family for the last week and a half. It just reminds us of how important connecting with family is. My crocus bead is a reminder to take the time to smell the flowers--and enjoy family times together!
