The Good Medicine Project Gives Me Chills!

March 23, 2009

Every time I open a package or get another e-mail, the hairs on my arms stand on end. It is so exciting to hear the stories people tell me, and to open a package filled with love for us to give to a child with cancer. My friend Carol, in California, is busily making tags [...]

Charmed, I’m Sure

March 16, 2009

I’ve been sifting through these lovely charms that my friend Lynda (in Fort Worth) sent for The Good Medicine Project. Many of these polished stones are amethyst, which are considered to have “calming and peaceful” properties. I know the kids battling cancer will appreciate those. She also sent three wonderful medicine bags, as did Wendy [...]

Is that cool, or what? Allison, over at Angel Gal’s Realm, saw the need for a snazzy button and snagged some pictures from the Flickr site to put into an animated gif. If you’d like to use this in a post to promote The Good Medicine Project, feel free to do so. Just save the [...]

I Refuse To Give Up On The Good Medicine Project

January 24, 2009

It seemed like a simple recipe: Take one medicine bag (created by Anybody, Anywhere) Add three lucky charms from three DIFFERENT people Serve to a child at Cancer Camp to let them know that FOUR different people took time to care. I don’t have enough “cooks” stepping up to the stove! I admit that I [...]

Not Just For Grannies

January 11, 2009

For the longest while, there were a lot of crafty people coming to visit my blog. They visited because of that Share [...]

The Good Medicine Project. Gifts For Children With Cancer.

January 7, 2009

Were you ever sick when you were a little kid? Maybe you had the flu, or tonsillitis, and you had to stay in bed; you couldn’t get out and play for a few days. If that happened to you, you might remember feeling a bit lonesome during that time. On the eve of my sixth [...]

More Medicine Bags

December 16, 2008

These gifts of love for a child with cancer are warming me up today. At least, on the inside. I’ve procrastinated on opening mail the last few days (didn’t want to touch anything with ointment on my hands). This morning, I opened packages from Sherry at Yellow Rose’s Garden, Barbara at Purplemoose Gazette, and Sheila [...]

I’m Gainfully Employed this Week

November 10, 2008

I’m going to have to “phone it in” to the blog this week. Except that I don’t know how to do that. What I mean to say is that I’m not going to be at my computer much. I have work in the real world (Yippee Skippee!) and it is all quite a long drive [...]

Only The Good Friday #4

November 7, 2008

Do y’all have a hard time adjusting to the time change? I tell you what! I do! I think it’s the Five Cat Alarm I have. They all expect breakfast at 5 a.m. — and they can’t read the clock! Now, it’s breakfast at 4 a.m! It makes me grumpy and growly, so it’s a [...]

Pressure Cooker

October 13, 2008

I think I know how Mount St. Helens felt before she ERUPTED! This is after she blew her top, but you get the drift. So much pressure is building and I’m trying to stay calm and centered. Forgive me, but it’s not happening! I’ll tell you about that in a minute. First, let me go [...]

Until It’s In The Bag

September 24, 2008

Greasy wool transformed. Dyed, hand-twisted, and knitted. Good Medicine Bag. Pardon the poor Haiku. I spent yesterday creating a medicine bag for a child I will never know. A boy, probably. A boy who either has cancer or is the brother of a child with cancer. All I know is that he will attend Camp [...]

Hunkering Down

September 8, 2008

Some days, I feel like I’m on a carnival ride that is spinning too fast for me. I just want it to stop, so I can go somewhere and rest and hunker down. This week is feeling like that, and it hasn’t even really begun! There is so much to do, and so little time! [...]

Believe It!

September 6, 2008

“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.” This, my friends, is The Storyteller’s Creed. I have lived [...]

The Magical Button Box

September 4, 2008

When I was little, if I got sick, there were certain things I knew would occur. I’d be put to bed with clean sheets and plumped pillows (not that my Momma didn’t ever change the sheets!). Most likely, I would be subjected to the noxious smell of Vick’s Vaporub. Momma would serve me my meals [...]
