I AM ENOUGH, I HAVE ENOUGH

I had forgotten last post to write about how I have been randomly (and not so randomly) gifted three pairs of yoga pants! One kind of ‘silly’ thing I let go of in 2015 was an old black pair that fit me just right until they didn’t any more. I had been sewing all theContinue reading “I AM ENOUGH, I HAVE ENOUGH”
