I can’t think of a better way to welcome 2007 than by sharing this quote, which [Steven] Pressfield borrows (p.122) from the Scottish mountain climber W. H. Murray:

Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.

Scott bought me Cesar Milan’s book, Cesar’s Way,  for Christmas. I haven’t read it yet, but Scott is reading it and has pointed out to me that I am the issue with all of our dogs’ behavior issues. I went to Cesar’s website and took this quiz. Scoring a 15 out of 40, I am indeed at the back of the pack.

Here is my latest creative endeavor (and our cat, Falco)…

It is a “Fabulous Felt Tote” from Fiber Trends using Lion Wool in “Lemon Grass” with Lion Fun Fur in “Chocolate” as the embellishment. I’m working on fabulous felt tote #2 with a few modifications which I will post when it’s completed.

Ahhh, to own a farm in Orwell, Vermont. The decision regarding what to call one’s farm becomes so straight forward. Scott sent me this link to a blog about Diane St. Clair’s Animal Farm and her butter making business. According to the blogger, all one needs is a cool name and a good story to be able to sell butter for $75 a pound, delivered. To those of you who question butter being worth $75 a pound or even Diane’s more customary charge of $15 a pound just buy yourself some cream and start shaking (or break out your Kitchenaid® like I do).

Here is a picture of 3 of the St. Clair’s jersey cows, Dyedee, Petra, and Scooter from the Animal Farm website.
