Staying awake for life requires continual learning, challenges and experiences as well as a great compassion for all things. It requires acquiring skills for all trades and purposes. It involves knowing ourselves and asking reflective questions. It involves being whole and well. This blog is dedicated to helping myself and others live our best life and stay on our toes for the journey.

My twin and a craft project that will take you less than 10 minutes
My friend Kate found this picture of "me"...my twin (at least in the face when I look like death). It is kinda scary but funny enough for me to put on here. I mean if you imagine bangs and my hair being down, along with a little more eye makeup and my eyelashes curled, I think you could see the correlation.
Also, I must say this blog post is entirely dedicated to my dear friend Kate, who has an amazing blog by the way. Check it out here to see what I am talking about: http://katewestby.blogspot.com (again, my apologies for not crafting this so you can click on the link, but for some reason my link bar will not publish it!) Grrr...
Anyway... why I reference Kate's blog is because today I was in need of something to do before class other than homework or chores and Kate's scarfy-necklace thang was chillaxing there in cyberspace, and I had all the ingredients here and did in like 10 minutes, maybe less which is great for the busy-body.
Here is the photo of my rendition of the necklace per Kate's instructions:
All you need is a scarf (like the hankerchief type) or just some fabric, and then some big ol' beads. The directions that I grabbed were from Kate's blog, and they work like clockwork. You take the cut-fabric and tie a knot 6 inches in, add a bead in it, then twist and knot and then add another bead in it and twist and knot, etc. etc. For more detailed directions again, please see kate's piece. I am not going to reinvent the wheel here. But I am going to use the remainder of the fabric from the scarf to make a bracelet :)
Thanks Kate!

It's like a scary glimpse at what you might look like if you developed a serious eating disorder though...
Thanks for the shout-out lady! Love it :)
cripes, and she is quite overpriced wouldn't you say!
