Sew, Have You Shown Your True Colors Lately?

"People are like sewing boxes, it's what's inside that counts."

- Trisha Brink

 I think you've all sort of figured out by now I'm a woman who loves color....right?

Well.....

This little sewing box I've got for sale right now over at

Ollie Bollen

got me thinking.....

It's interesting how we sometimes have a difficult time showing our

TRUE

colors.

No....I'm not talking about actual colors...but more sincerely

"WHO"

we really are.

If there's one thing I dislike when I meet folks is:

 someone who is

"fake"

You know what I mean?

Now,

don't worry....

I'm not talking about any one person here

( relax all my near and dear friends and recent aquaintances :)

It's just those folks who pretend to care, but are too wrapped up in themselves to actually notice you.

And then

B O O M!!!

There it was....the inescapable thought that I may have been that person to someone else!??!?!

OH HORROR OF ALL HORRORS!!!

( Let me just insert here the apology I owe you if I have been that person to you....I am mortified!)

I have found that if I want to be treated in a certain way,

then it makes perfect sense to treat others in that way too.

Boy oh Boy....I DO have alot of work to do though!

Sometimes however...

I am horribly guilty of not being fake, but more often than not,

OVERLY PASSIONATE & OPINIONATED

which generally freaks people out as well!

( Just remember, God isn't finished with me yet. :)

What am I really trying to say here???

Yeah....

I'm not really sure either.

BUT

I do know this:

I need to find a happy medium & balance.

Somewhere between fake and over-do-i-nate.

You know....

As I said before...

People are like sewing boxes, it's what's inside that counts.

I like people

(as well as sewing boxes)

to be real.

Don't you?

So let's not judge sewing boxes

( or people )

by what's on the outside

(or by the first impression either!)

rather,

let's come to the conclusion as to a person's character by opening them up through time and conversation...

 ...and therefore....by what's on the inside...

a soft, pink, cushy place where the keys to creativity live with sometimes pokey pins and needles.

( I will be working right along side of you on this....)

Be 

R E A L.

Be

interested.

Be

you.
