Crafting

Crafting "...makes unique connections between seemingly disparate ideas. (tscpl.org)"

Finding use of the items meant for trash continues life's momentum and doesn't stop sharing the 'good news of HOPE.' To me, crafting, recycling, and repurposing create new ideas, change perspectives and solve problems.

Some problems are more manageable than we see them, and with the right attitude and predisposition, problematic angles can shift. Solutions can magically appear when entities show interest and dedication.

Individuals, together with their loved ones, CAN lead a stress-free life and continue to improve their lifestyle and living satisfaction.
