\"SC-headshot-bw2\"I\u2019ve practiced law, practiced the piano, practiced creative writing and practiced meditation. I practiced with specific goals in mind:- success, mastery, achievement, enlightenment.<\/p>\n

Now I practice letting go of goals.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

After thirty-plus years practicing family law, including eighteen years on the family court bench in the busiest district in our state, I abruptly ended my law career to focus on a health crisis. After 10 cancer-free years, I found out the cancer was back and I was given a terminal diagnosis.<\/p>\n

So I\u2019m letting go of the old idea of writing books. My focus now is on positive, uplifting and inspiring people, ideas and stories. I\u2019m embracing the opportunity to curate a blog that features short pieces I find particularly moving.<\/p>\n

Power of the Small<\/span><\/h2>\n

Most things I do now seem to be very small and very focused.<\/p>\n

For example, a year ago I discovered that I enjoy making small, improvisational quilt pieces, usually about 12 by 12 inches . I no longer dream of making gorgeous, handmade memory quilts for my three sons (\u201cdream\u201d being the operative word \u2013 I\u2019ve never made a full-size quilt in my life). I don\u2019t intend these improv pieces to be part of a quilt. I don\u2019t need to preplan the color, shapes and fabrics the way you need to when making a large quilt. I make them just for the joy of creating them I love making choices in the moment and seeing what develops. I find great satisfaction in completing them in one day.<\/p>\n

Like these small quilt art pieces that will not become a quilt, the small pieces I post here may never become a book, but there is profound joy in creating, completing and then letting them go.<\/p>\n

May you find these small pieces worthy of your time and attention. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

May they uplift and inspire you. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Or maybe you will simply accompany me as a friend <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

on this journey without a goal.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
