Mindful Recovery

 I have been out of work for about two months now, and I have been resting my knee for about 3-4 weeks after I managed to pull one hell of a sprain. Ouch. Still. However, I am coming out of the physical pain and wondering what to do next as I practice patience, and do my best not to push my body too hard and re-injure.  A summer or two ago I was starting to design furniture. Just thoughts, really. How things could look, how to put them together, etc. My great-grandfather owned a furniture company downtown and I am seriously considering what it would take for me to take this over and start to create my own designs. Perhaps it could be a joint-family effort, where we all own it and I have my own line of furniture. These are preliminary working thoughts.  Next comes the designing part. And I can only do so much 'planning' without ever working with the materials.  This. is. going. to. be. awesome. Mindfully, ~Amanda ___________________________________ Amanda Vander Kelen...
