Hello stamping friends! I recently read an article in Dr. Oz’s magazine that resonated with me.
Dr. Oz talks about all of us living our lives in the express-lane. Life moves so fast, no matter how much you want to linger, enjoy and make memories. I certainly feel this way lately. I have two teenage children and I feel like I am constantly on the go with their activities and social life. Dr. Oz states that while predictable routines can be good for productivity and healthy living, this sense of life whizzing on by is definitely a downside. He challenges us to venture in to new territory more often, even in the smallest of ways. If you’ve been wanting to study a new skill, like, painting, learning a new language, or card making, don’t put it off because you’re unsure of your abilities or where to start.
There’s a rhythm to life that comes from routine, and that habitual heartbeat helps power you forward. But doing new things comes with an amazing slow-the-clock-down gift. Grab a friend and find a local Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and sign up for a class today. Card making is very relaxing and good for the soul. Once you’ve completed your card, send it off to make someone’s day. Who doesn’t love to receive “happy” mail? My challenge to you is find a class and try it out. If you live near me, come to one of my classes! You can find my schedule at wdiem.stampinup.net. Send me a note to share with me your card making experience. I’d love to hear from you!
