change is gon' come

there's something brewing...

things are changing here.  it's not just the changing seasons (though hallelujah for that!  i love spring and winter can drag on here in the 'great southwest'), something new is going to happen - even IS happening. 

my sister and i recently started a business - New Leaf Handmade Goods - check it out!  i LOVE the name because not only does it suggest 'turning over a new leaf' which is what both it and our other website are about, but it reminds me of the verse in the Bible where it says something about 'forgetting the former things - see, i am doing a new thing'.  this year feels like the year for NEW THINGS. 

i've dreamed about running my own business but without my sister's HUGE initiative and the excitement she has for it, i'm pretty sure it would never have happened.  that's actually one of the things i really love about her...before i met her, there were times when my friends and i would make GREAT plans to do stuff and ... NEVER DO ANY OF THEM ... i remember the first time my sister and i made a GREAT plan (to go cherry-picking) - i was completely shocked when we actually went and did it.  that's just the way she is...and i LOVE it. 

in addition to New Leaf, the two of us (and our dear husbands) are in the works for starting another business.  who would ever have thought it? 

that's right, folks, CHANGE IS GON' COME!! 

i'm getting ready to ride the waves.
