Graduated and Moving Forward!

Well, graduation day was nothing but magical!  The weather was perfect and the speaker, Rick Steves, gave an inspiring speech.  The Evergreen State College knows how to celebrate a commencement; it was like one giant party of pure fun.

Over the past few weeks, I've weeded through stacks of college papers and books.  I had such a great educational experience which I relived while sorting.

Now for the future....... have you noticed how doors begin to open when you follow your passion?  I have focused on sustainable business, teaching, fiber arts, and helping others during my eduction.  Lately I've wondered how in the world I'm going to combine these areas.  Today, I met with another lady, Roby, who has similar passions and so we devised a plan.  Number one is to find a space to rent for sewing.  After that, the ideas for projects/businesses seem endless. 

As I reflect on the past four years, I see now that everything happened for a reason; the people I met and concepts I learned were not by coincidence. So I encourage you to follow whatever your dreams may be and not give up!
