We have a stiff breeze coming off the hurricane,
but what a sunny beautiful day!
This is the cool cross stitch, Good Intentions by Kathy Barrick, I am working:
And here is what it will look like:
I love, love, love her colour combos!
Such a talented woman.
I’ve read my favourite blogs over the last couple
months and noted many political views
being presented.
Some of these were so opposite of mine that
I considered not reading them again.
But then I thought about what a hypocrite that
would make me.
Because I believe all voices should be heard.
And as an American, I believe there is room
enough for all; and all beliefs.
Just because a majority believes and lives one
way does not make it the right way.
In fact, often it squishes out quieter voices who
are just as important.
This seems to be a time in our history that
the marginalized are finding their voice and a platform for it.
I am so grateful for that.
As a Jesus lover, I see this as justice.
I don’t want to stand in the way of that.
My new acquaintance has this tattooed on her forearm:
“When I diminish you, I diminish myself”
♥️♥️♥️♥️
May I not diminish a single one of you

That is the beauty of being an American! We have the right to voice our opinion. Many people do not. With that being said, I believe it is wrong to burn neighborhoods and businesses in the name of peace. Murder? Defund the police? How is any of that acceptable?
ALL LIVES MATTER!
I don't see many political views I just did some ranting about people in general and tourist specifically. But well said we all should have our say.

I love both sayings...the one on your current project as well as the one on your friend's tattoo. It is refreshing to me to hear that you are willing to listen to, and respect, differing opinions. It seems like that is quickly becoming a rare quality to have...even in families. I know I have felt constrained to "keep my opinions to myself" depending upon to whom I am speaking.... I don't know how there can be education and enlightenment if some are bent on keeping the shutters to their brains closed to anything that does not align with their views. Glad you're enjoying some more tolerable weather. Cool here as well! ~Robin~
Love this.
Thanks!
I hear you Cathy 😀
I’m hearing you my friend. By the way, I hooked the same 1847 turkey about 10 years ago. It’s one of my fav patterns. When we set up house again I will take a picture.
