Thank you Charlotte! Your kind words came at just the right time! I do hear this kind of thing fairly often, that people simply can’t find the time to enjoy or learn a hobby. We will be here when you are good and ready! In the meantime, just keep growing and never give up on trying. Keep focus on the most important aspirations. When my first husband left and I had to work full time from the time my son was born until he was six, I would find a half hour each morning before leaving for my 1.5 hour commute to work and daycare drop off. At that time it was watercolors and drawing, teaching and a little sewing of costumes. Later there was much more sewing and quilting, but I never gave up on my dreams. I hope everyone can do the same.
