Open Your Heart With Quilting: Mastering Life Through Love of the Quilting

By Kelly Smith

Transformation Publishing
Released: 2012-01-24
Kindle Edition

Open Your Heart With Quilting: Mastering Life Through Love of the Quilting
 
Product Description:
Balancing the overall mission of a series of books with each author’s individual creativity and vision is an enjoyable and rewarding challenge. The goal of this note is to tie the loose ends together to make your experience with this book as meaningful as possible.
We have two goals with the Open Your Heart series. The first is to provide you with practical advice about your hobby or interest, in this case quilting. We trust this advice will increase your ongoing enjoyment of quilting or even encourage you to explore a new activity.
Our second goal is to help you use what you know and love to make the rest of your life happier and easier. This process worked in different ways for each of our writers, so it will likely work in different ways for each of you. For some, it’s a matter of becoming more self-aware. Just realizing what makes you happy while immersed in creating a new project, and then gradually learning to use those feelings as a barometer when dealing with your job, relationships, and other issues could be an important first step. For others, quilting provides an important outlet for stress and contemplation, allowing you to go back into your daily life refreshed. For yet others, you might discover how to meditate, how to connect with the mysterious flow of the Universe when you are immersed in quilting. Once you recognize the beauty of that for what it is, you can then learn to connect with the flow in other ways at other times.
We are not suggesting you will find all of your answers in this book. We are, though, inviting you to look at something you love with new eyes, a new perspective, and a new heart. Once you recognize the importance of feeling good in one area of your life, you are open to feeling good in the rest of your life. And that is the cornerstone to mastering your life.
