Rushing the making process doesn’t work. I realised today that the process needs to be slow and deliberate, so as to put the best healing energy into the work. It may be that the lining cushions can be batch made quickly but the covers need care and attention . ‘Baby’ is the first of three

Affirmation

Affirmation turns up in life as statements to self, in the present tense, to manifest the qualities or things you want in your life.
