Eeek, I can’t believe I’m writing this, but today is day 30 of the 30 Days of Giving and I’m offering the 30th card for giveaway. Over the month there are been many cards and many sentiments but this one I saved for today. This is a quote that’s particularly inspiring to me and I hope it is to you too. It’s a call to be brave and face the next step forward with confidence because you have the right tools at hand – whether the tools be your faith, your determination or the knowledge you have garnered over time. How bold to say ‘bring on the storm because I’ll be alright, I know how to navigate it’. Ahh, I so always want to be that person. I think when I originally blogged it, I mused how I benefit from the sentiment I’m rallying around as much as the recipient I’m giving it to – what a splendid gift! Inspired on a daily basis by these little glimmers of wisdom, thanks so much for sharing the day. You are truly a beautiful community, this month has meant more to me than you could know.

I keep trying with lots of storms on the way. Just keeping praying and hope my guardian angel helps me through x
I am learning to sail my ship with the help of God. Sometimes human beings try to sail their own ship. When we really need to lean on the grace and understanding of God.
Over time, with blessings from God, and the love and tolerance of family and friends, and because I never give up on myself …. I am slowly learning to sail my ship. Thanks for askin!
Beautiful card….thank you so much for doing this give away Becca……and yes, slowly but surely I am learning how to sail my ship…with His help xxx
My boat has been docked for awhile…love this card too, thanks again girl being so awesome with your giveaway….can’t wait to see what u make next, so much enjoyed your 30days of card, not sure which is my fav…your an angel…..
just found your site and what beautiful cards. I am just learning to sail my ship in a different direction as I have just found out that i am losing my eyesight so having to adjust my life and crafting styles
Hi becca. Wow have’nt you done well sending out all those cards.
I am coming to the end of my journey. I have had a wonderful adventure. Some very large mountains to climb and a few very low points. But have a wonderful husband a very large family. We still all laugh and help each other. So l have been very blessed. Thank you for all the inspiration you give us, keep up the good work. Smiles and hugs. Jan.xx
Bless you, Jan. May God keep you.
Good morning Becca,
Oh yeah! I sure am learning to sail my ship! In more ways than one.
You have outdone yourself with today’s card. Lacey and open – just beautiful! The verse has true meaning for me!
Thank you for your kindness for these 30 DAYS OF GIVING! I have enjoyed it and am kinda sad that it is ending. This has been a true love for your fans and a lot of hard work for you, my friend! You are so kind.
Hugs

I love the hinged card today! I would have not thought to layer it the way that you did, but it’s beautiful! I do think at my age that I am learning to sail my own ship!
With Gods help we can do anything, we just have to ask for his help. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Christine Springman
Good Morning, Becca!
What a beautiful card! Pink is my color! That would be a inspirational card I’d keep for a treasure!!! As to your question, Actually, I’m learning to let the LORD lead, and steer the ship! His ways are not my ways, and HE’s my CREATOR! I ask myself ‘why do I try to do things my way, when the ONE who made me, and want’s what’s BEST for me, asks me to FOLLOW HIM?’ Life can be stormy with many days in distress, but then there are the glorious days when all is calm and my ship sails in peaceful waters. Crafting is one of the ways Christ calms my heart. I feel it’s an opportunity to identify with the MASTER CREATOR! He created ALL things, and HE is GOOD!
Hi Becca, Beautiful card and thought. I have been learning to ‘sail’ by turning to God first and trusting Him to enable me to handle the situation. Always a comfort to know I are not alone regardless of the circumstances. Thanks for opening my day in a positive way. Barbara
Hi Becca,
WOW! What a stunning card and a stunning sentiment, I love it and would so much love to win this card I am forever learning how to sail my ship lol! I am forever putting pressure on myself to be brave and put that one more step forward, even in just trying to achieve something. I am not a confident person you see so I am always trying lol!
Have a fabulous day and congratulations on reaching your 30th day, I have loved it all immensely.
Love & Hugs

Well I can’t believe it’s been 30 days! It has been lovely to see so many of your wonderful cards. Lovely card today. So filigree and pretty. Yes I am learning to sail my ship. My compass gets lost at times but at least I eventually find it! Heyho. That’s life.
I have been a follower of yours for years and have watched your story and your growth! You have learned the secret of sailing! It is growing every day and step by step for me. Watching others grow is so very helpful. Thank you for your honesty and letting us watch your voyage. This has been such a fun month! May God bless you and keep you.
Hi Becca,
I can’t say that I’m learning well at the moment, I am doing my best not to go under. Losing mom and becoming very ill are tough waters to navigate. One day at a time right now.
I would have loved to give an inspirational answer and to have received one of your lovely cards, but the truth is the truth.
Good bless,
Beverley
Working on learning to sail my ship. Recently lost my job, my son and daughter both got married this year. Trying to figure out my next step in life.
FEEL LIKE I AM SINKING AT TIMES, BUT WE FLOAT TO SURVIVE ANOTHER DAY. LOVE THIS CARD. MUST BE THE PINK. THINK YOUR BEST ONE. BRILL JOB. SAD OUR 30 DAYS HAS COME TO AN END. ENJOYED YOUR BLOG <3 IT
Hi Becca another beautiful card,
Yes i seem to be sailing my ship all the time this year ,however God is good and i am sure he will keep me afloat .
God Bless
Elaine H X
This late in my life, i am almost 70, i am still learning. Three years ago I encountered the biggest storm of my life…I am still adjusting my sails to go through it.
every day for the last month, the first thing in the morning, I checked your site to see and read your card.
Thank you!
Another beautiful card, Becca. I am learning to sail my ship with the help of God.
WAUW what an ending of cards here, sooooo beautiful and well made as all of them. And that sentiment is absolutely amazing and soo right.
And yes after I´ve had 4 kids and 9 grandkids, I´m definitely learning to sail my ship, that´s for sure.
You bet! Life is a journey—enjoy the ride!
Thank You Becca for 30 amazing days of giving. I have truly enjoyed each and everyone of your handcrafted card. WooHoo !!! What an awesome women you are and so very talented too !!!
Gosh, theses 30 days have sped by. I was so lucky to win one of your cards so thank you again. We are experiencing some turbulent waters at the moment but by faith and prayer we will come into safe harbour eventually. I have always liked this sentiment and it is ideal Hugs Christine xx
That is a wonderful card with a wonderful sentiment!! I can only learn to sail my ship with the help of God – the best captain anyone could have!!
Another gorgeous card!
I’m slowly learning to sail my ship. It’s not always easy but it’s worth the effort.
Good morning Becca! Thank you for another gorgeous card and for these past 30 days of awesome inspiration! Although I’ve encountered more storms than I’ve wanted, my ship is definitely still afloat!
Such a gorgeous & delicate card! Yes, I am learning to sail my ship trusting HIM. “Nothing is impossible for HIM”…I have experienced a miraculous healing after 11 years.
Another lovely card and wonderful sentiment. And more wonderful dies. I want them all! I am learning to sail my ship. Right now the sea is fairly smooth, but when I hit the sea of adversity again, I know the Lord will be there to give me strength and courage to sail until I reach calmer seas.
Becca, thank you for this month. Even though I didn’t win one of your beautiful cards (sniff), it has been so encouraging and insightful to stop and think about what I create, how I create and why I create. I know from your blogging comments that you get much from your readers. But you give us so much more. I look forward to more wonderful inspiring creations.
I’m to the age that I don’t think I’m learning as much anymore as I’m training others now. Love the card and the saying.
What a stunning card to end what has been a fantastic 30 days of giving. Well done Becca and thank you so very much! I had to learn how to steer my ship in another direction 27 years ago but I feel I am on course now, being very fortunate not to have to weather any storms, at the moment anyway!!
Doreen R from Bournemouth UK
I hope I’m learning how to steer my ship. But I’m sure I haven’t always done it well. I love this card, and the sentiment. Thanks for sharing your talents with us., hugs Jess
i’m still looking for the directions for the boat. this trial and error thing is for the birds. beautiful inspiration card.
Oh what a beautiful card today, Becca, and I love the sentiment.
Yes, I am learning to sail my ship as time passes by, but find it hard many times.
Becca,
Well first I’d like to say thank for taking us on this journey with you. It’s made me reminisce about some wonderful younger years. It was nice to learn some things about you and to get to know you better as well. After the loss of my mom two years ago I didn’t think I’d ever sail again, how could I without her, she was my captain. So I just let that ship sit in port for awhile, as I didn’t know how to sail it, nor was I ready for the open sea. I ignored it for a while but the sea kept whispering to me, It’s time. (My mom saying, it’s time to take the wheel now.) Lord knows I feel over board many times but with his help I’m learning how to sail my ship a little further out to sea everyday.

I’m trying to learn to sail my ship…don’t always do a great job at it…but I like to think I’m learning. :-))
Yes, I had to learn to sail my own ship when I lost my husband to cancer. I was able to pick myself up and continue on. The sentiment today has so much meaning and is very inspiring.
I recently lost my husband so I am learning to sail my ship alone.
Wow such a beautiful card, and I love this sentiment too. Yes I am learning to sail my ship God is helping me! At this time in my life I am really leaning on him to get me thru several things going on in my life I am so glad that he is my savior!!
Day by day, I am learning. I have setbacks, as does everyone, but I now know where I want to sail to, and I’m plotting my course!
Becca , you have certainly learned how to sail your ship !
My ship has been in the Bermuda Triangle lol.
But it is still sailing even starting to cruise and life is good.
The card for today the pink and white are so pretty your cards
are all to die for hugs Pam XXX
Hi Becca,
Can’t believe the 30 days are over, so enjoyed it.I don’t leave comments too often but have done so this month.I suppose my ship is sailing ok for now.
Thanks againfor the beautiful card I won. Looking forward to all your beautiful creations you will be making in the future.
With new challenges every day, I AM challenged every day to learn to sail my ship in new ways….mom’s do that you know! LOL ;)
This card is SO BEAUTIFUL Becca! I loooove the pink, the bow & flowers, the intricacy of the dies, the embossing, the sentiment….there NEVER IS anything I don’t like about your cards Becca! LOL I’d be tempted to FRAME THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
Thank You for our journey these past 30 days. I don’t remember a day I didn’t love your card. However, today’s card has special meaning for me. God helped me through my cancer journey (my body doesn’t feel right now and praying it’s not back). Dr. wants me to have back surgery so I don’t end up in a wheel chair and I don’t know whether to do it or not—don’t want to end up paralyzed –that’s my storm right now. We don’t know other people’s storm so these past 30 days has been very special to me
Again thank you for sharing these beautiful cards with all of us. You have touched so many lives.
yes, I am still learning and it continues to be a work in progress but the bumps have been made easier with Faith, family and the love of wonderful friedns.
Beautiful card, Becca!!! I know for me the BEST way for my ship to sail is to be the passenger and let Christ do the steering and calm the storms. That may sound silly to some but I KNOW there are others who have experienced what I am talking about!! Guess it’s kinda like that song “Jesus Take the Wheel”! Sailing is much easier when there is Someone “experienced at the helm, when the storms of life come, I can still experience His PEACE! Thanks Becca for a very inspiring, month of sharing your gifts and talents!! BLESSINGS
Am I learning? Yes I suppose I am. I find it funny that in the tumultuous times of my life the sailing plan was pretty straight forward- fight that storm with all you’ve got! Now that my life is kinda at a crossroad ( my kids are grown and independant) I feel my sailing is uncertain.
It’s been a rough road this past few months, as I know you are aware since you’ve gone through it as well, but widowhood is a very rough road. I think I’m learning to navigate it myself now, at least somewhat. Family is what matters and I still have family left. But whew, no one really knows what this is like until they’ve gone through it themselves. I’m taking things one day at a time hopefully and I am planning on helping my children deal wiht tihngs when I’m gone as well.
What a beautiful card again. We all must learn to trust in the Lord. He will care for us.
Love todays card and the quote on it.
I think every day of our life we are learning to sail our ship. Our experiences each day and our trials are all teaching moments and how we react or what we do with these experiences will define us in the end. This life is our training ground and we are here to be taught and refined to return to our Father in Heaven. Yet he has given us our free agency to choose for ourselves what we will do with this time on earth. I just turned 76 and I feel like –wait–I need more time, I’m still learning how to get this right!
Hi Becca, thank you for a beautiful card and an even more beautiful sentiment,to close those wonderful 30 days you have given us your amazing talents and incredible kindness. I won one of the cards and I just received it today !! I am over the moon .
We have had to go through rough seas but were guided through and at the moment the storms laid down. Take care Jane B.
I love the openness of the outer die cut. Thankfully for the Lord’s Mercy of sending His Son to offer the gift of Life to those who recieve it and His Word for direction we can have hope to walk or sail in this life.
Becca, what a beautiful card. You always inspire me with your creativity and design. As to the quote I try to follow God’s lead but sometimes He sweeps me up in the current that I wasn’t expecting. Or you get caught up in the gale of the storm and can only cling onto Him as a lifepreserver. He can help us sail on!
Thank you for 30 beautiful days of inspiration.
The sentiment is very true indeed. Thank you for a great month of giveaways. Sometimes it is hard to learn to sail your own ship and storms have to be weathered but the sun will rise again.
Where have the 30 days gone? I am trying to learn how to steer my ship but I keep letting go of the wheel. With the help of family and friends I manage to take hold of it again. Looking forward to seeing lots more of your lovely cards. God bless. Julie
What a beautiful sentiment! I love that quote. And another beautiful card. Every day I learn a little bit more about how to sail my ship and not rock the boat.
Very nice card again Becca…
I am always learning & as each storm comes I put my faith & trust in God and know everything will be the way it’s supposed to be
Oh what it would be to be able to create cards how you do. They are incredible. My ship is constantly changing, sometimes stormy weather and then it may clear a bit. So I just fill up my sails with some more wind and off I go for my next adventure.
Sometimes I can control the sail, other times I ride the waves because I have no control. Beautiful card. You are truly gifted with your talent. Your style is consistent, which I admire.
Breathtaking card – absolutely beautiful. Thank you for 30 days of inspiration! What a wonderful start to each day. stormy seas make for rough sailing but God’s got the sails, so I just need to remember to just praise him through the ride.
Lovely card, Becca. Yes, I am starting to learn how to sail my ship. After sending cards I have learned that people actually look forward to receiving them. I see your friendship cards and I will be adding these to the birthday and other cards I send out and offer to people who want me to make cards for them. I really enjoy seeing the joy on their faces when they see the cards and I have fun making them. Thanks for the 30 Days of Giving, it really makes you think.
I’ve been through some really stormy seas, sometimes I’m in control of my sails, other times, my little ship is being tossed around but, in the end, there are always clear skies.
Through it all, I’ve learned great lessons that have enriched my life. I’m constantly learning, I’m adventurous, I’m always willing to try, at least once, to do something new and I’ve been victorious.
Thank you Becca, for all you’ve done and for the chance to win one of your amazing cards, Gosh!! today it’s my last chance but, even if my comment is not picked, I’ve enjoyed all of the questions you gave us, all of them truly made me think and I enjoyed reading the responses.
Have a fabulous day!!!
What a beautiful and timely sentiment. Learning how to sail my own ship is something I struggle with. I get discouraged very easily…but I will prevail!
I learned to sail my own ship when I left my abusive of 17 years. I bought my own house, I raised my two girls, I eventually met the kindest, sweetest man whom I married 23 years ago. Now we sail together!
I am learning, with God’s help, not to be afraid of storms. There have been many recently, and there is joy in sailing forward.
Another fabulous card! Thanks for doing this giveaway. It’s been fun. I wish I could say that I’ve learned to sail my ship, but I’m being tested right now as we prepare to move away from the community we have lived in for almost 50 years. It’s a LOT of work and kind of scary.
The Master of the ship is always Christ. With Him at the helm all things are possible.
Thank you for the opportunity to talk about Christ! My favorite!
What a sweet, sweet card! Yesterday marked 6 months since my husband of nearly 43 years passed away, so I am definitely needing to learn to sail my ship. I haven’t quite found my “new normal” yet but am hoping to get back to card-making and scrapbooking and those crafts I love to do. You are an inspiration, Becca!
I am trying to re-coop and sail on. I lost my husband of 50+ years in March and I am so lost but with support of family and friends I am trying. I know he would want me to and that I will be with him in time. Beautiful card.
Faith is really the only solution. Jesus loves us.
Becca your final card of this run is super brilliant! The first die you used must be ‘Exquisite Labels Eleven’ I shall have to keep an eye out for it – so beautiful. I’ve had to go an a ‘die diet’ but am sorely tempted!
As for todays sentiment, mind you I am not at the helm, but with the crew’s support I am learning. Unfortunately I’m a slow learner :(
Thank you Becca for this very informative and interesting 30days. Where you get your stamina is a mystery to me AND you are on top of the posts to the lucky winners. May God continue to bless you richly.
Yes, I am definitely learning how to sail my ship. I love this sentiment and love the card.
Beautiful sentiment indeed. I am learning to lean into my faith and trust in the Lord…if he brings you to it, he will bring you through it.
Your cards are absolutely amazing! I feel your heart and spirit in your creations and it is so inspiring. I use my card creations as a ministry at church to make sure Everyone gets a special card for their birthday, anniversary, when there is illness or an encouraging word is needed. So inspired by your art!
Gorgeous card!
Still learning to sail my ship.
Oh, Becca, this is just a perfect card. It is beautiful and the sentiment is featured beautifully on it. You are such a paper genius.
Thank you so much for these past 30 days of your creative beauty. I’m sure it has been difficult at times to get something out to us every single day (you DO have a life, after all, and not just a blog life.) I have appreciated every single post and every single word you have written. What a joy and pleasure it is to follow your blog! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Am I learning to sail my ship? I am. It is a lifelong process. You never really stop learning to sail the ship of life, for life throws many things out to be navigated. I pray I do it gracefully and with wisdom.
God bless you, Beautiful Becca!
Hi Becca, Yes, I am learning to sail my ship. Having just retired a couple years ago, and my 92 year old dad move in with me, my ship changes course and takes detours here and there. But we always manage to get back on course, perhaps with a couple “waves” to overcome, but it all settles down eventually. Beautiful card as always. I can’t believe I missed 2 days – they were beautiful card days as well.
I am indeed learning how to sail my own ship! It’s been a long rough road, but I believe I am almost there. Life is never easy, but if you learn to endure, you can get through anything.
I just love the sentiment today. I jotted it down to use in future projects. It’s been fun seeing all these cards, and the anticipation every day to see if I would be one of the recipients. I look forward to all your new designs. They are all inspiring, and a blessing! Thank you!
Oh boy, you saved a really good one for the end!
I have 2 answers to this question. First, I am learning to sail a new ship since my husband has been ill. Totally new learning curve on living with someone who has become disabled.
Second, I think life in general requires us to learn to sail our ship each & every day. The sea is never the same. Some days we see other ships,some days we don’t. Some days we see small ships, some days freighters. Some days the sea is calm, some days it is stormy with huge white caps. We need to be flexible & willing to stay the course, and try not to capsize!
Becca, Thanks so much for this wonderful month of sharing your beautiful cards, hoping to win one, and the comeraderie of daily sharing on your blog. I have found it to be so inspirational & fun! Now, to go back & finish reading all these posts! Not sure how you have done it. I am still catching up!
Good morning, Becca. What a charming card and sentiment with which to end your “30 Days of Giving” series. I’ve so enjoyed the daily dose of delightful creativity you’ve shared with each of us. It has been quite inspiring. As to today’s question, each day gives me more “opportunities” to learn how to sail my ship. I’ve always looked at life as the ultimate learning opportunity, since it seems to provide many examples. In my crafting, I’m learning to trust the insights and instincts I’ve gained over the years. I’ve also started to listen to the inner voice that tells me where I should be sailing my ship. And thanks, Becca, for being in the lighthouse guiding my way with your wonderful expertise!
Your question about sailing my ship caused me to pause. I really want my Heavenly Father to pilot the ship of my life and adjust the sails to His will. SELF gets in the way so many times.
Thank you for one more opportunity to enter to win your gorgeous card! It would be a cherished gift!
Gorgeous card! With God as my captain, I choose to be the co-captain to sail my ship.
Hi Becca. Wow what a gorgeous card and beautiful sentiment, I love it :-) Slowly I am learning to sail my own ship – a lot of rough seas along the way, but with the support and love of family I am still able to look to the horizon :-) Hugs xxx
OMG This is a BEAUTIFUL card and the saying is just as beautiful.
Thank you Becca for this amazing journey of expressing our thoughts and some personal memories. This card is in my Mother’s favorite color pink. She passed away a year ago-but she always would say not to be afraid of the storms that sometimes would come our way-but to have faith in our beliefs and fight the storm. I read this today and I remembered her precious words. Thank you Becca. I will continue to sail my ship with faith-laughter and love.
This card is so dainty & precious. I’d be afraid to handle it very much. You did a beautiful job as usual.
I started learning to sail my ship close to 8 years ago. Just 1 month after graduating from nursing school, I learned I had breast cancer. I had to face the fact that I may never see my grandchildren grow up. But 8 years later after chemo, a double mastectomy, & lots of frustration, I am here & enjoying watching 4 wonderful grand children grow up. I have already hooked the oldest (age 9) on papercrafting.
Wow!! I have loved all your cards but this one rocks! I am slowly but surely learning how and with the grace of God I will get there.
thank you for sharing.
Gorgeous card and that
saying is wonderful!
Have loved seeing all
your lovely cards and
thanks for the giveaways.
Carla from Utah
I am leaning on God to help me with my sailing. When I try on my own, I can’t handle the stormy waters!
I am learning how to sail my ship every day. There are new challenges to face daily. With the help of my Lord and Savior I can conquer all things. Becca, you are always such an inspiration to me. Thank you. I am so blessed by you and your blog.
A really pretty card and sentiment. xx
I can’t believe it is the last day. I guess all good things must come to an end. I think we are all here to learn how to “sail” our ship. Some learn slowly and others let their sails out and fly by. I am still learning like most of us. Thanks for all the inspiring cards and the great messages they have.
Gorgeous, gorgeous. Thanks for a fun and inspiring 30 days, Becca!!
I think I need to sail my ship better; but am trying to help son learn how to sail his ship, too. He is autistic and moved into an apartment for the first time last August; needs more help on how to manage his money to cover his bills. Maybe we’ll learn how to sail better – together. Have a great day!
Wonderful card and sentiment very generous
Learning to sail your own ship…what a difficult journey that can be…it’s a daily battle. But I am choosing to be strong and believe in God and tackle the world head on.
Hi Becca
Thank You for the last 30 days it as flown by so quickly.
Love your card and the sentiment.
But It made me laugh though, because my 2 year old granddaughter Amelie came this morning, and said gang-gangs frightened of storms we had to run fast in the park.
Love Marion x
My motto that I have hanging on the wall, God doesn’t give us what we can handle. God helps us handle what we are given. The seas may be pretty rough at times, but I am thankful that I have Him piloting my boat as I navigate life’s seas along with Him! Thanks for all the inspiration with your cards and your words.
Becca your cards have been beautiful, I have shared them, and your cards are so inspirational, wow would love to win one it would go on my wall for ever. Bren
Yes I sail my own ship…I firmly believe in the verse, “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” I live this every day, believing Christ brought me here to do great things and has equipped me with all I need to achieve everything.
This card would be put on display on the mantle of my living room.
The sentiment is great and the die cuts are beautiful.
Would be thrilled to see my name as a recipient of one of the cards.
thanks
Oh what a beautiful sentiment! To be brave, strong and determined. That is something I am learning and working on everyday. I believe it is a life long learning process.
I am learning to sail my ship. It’s a life-long process isn’t it? As I follow the Lord and learn to trust Him more, it gets easier but I have to keep remembering to keep my hand off the the controls and let Him sail my ship.
I am not afraid of the storms. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. That was my Grandmother’s favorite verse. She lived it, taught it to me, and was the strongest woman I have ever known.
Such a beautiful sentiment. With constant prayer, I think I’m keeping my ship closer to its intended course. Some days are easier than others.
Thanks so much for sharing this month. It’s been truly special to see your wonderful talent at work.
Becca, I love that card & the saying.
I need to find that stamp for encouragement for some of my friends.
Of course the card is beautiful too.
I am looking to the Lord when the storms come. I have a CD that I play & on it is a song called “the anchor holds”
Even in the rough times I can feel him.
Thanks for showing us this card.
IT has been a blessing to me.
Another beautiful card. And yes, I am finally learned to sail my own ship. And I love it. I think it takes getting older.
Thanks Becca for your wonderful cards that inspire me.
Oh my goodness, such a beautiful card. I don’t know how you keep on coming up with these wonderful idea. I sure have learned out to sail my own ship and I hope it continues. I retired two years and got on the right ship and haven’t gotten lost yet.
Exquisite card!!!
Yes, with my husband being ill right now, I am learning to sail my ship.
Beautiful sentiment, and yes what a blessing it is to send this to another person to encourage them also. I have found encouraging others builds strength in me. When your pour belief into another person, it increases my belief in possibilities as well. “All that you send in to the lives of others, comes back into your own.”
Leaning on the Lord to sail my ship…I don’t steer very well – LOL!
Beautiful card and wonderful sentiment Becca! This has been a FUN project…so enjoy reading the comments to your daily question!!! Thanks so much!!!
Paper Hugs,
Jan
What a beautiful card and wonderful sentiment. I too have suffered losses and felt rudder-less for a time but life goes on – it has to. We need to find our way in the way that fits us best. Is the path always easy – no. Is the path always obvious – no. But I believe the journey is worthwhile. Thank you Becca for 30 days of awe-inspiring beauty & inspiration. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!! Take good care~
Beautiful as usual Ms. Thang! You just have so much talent pouring out everywhere. Yes I am learning how to sail a new ship because I crashed my other one. LOL God saw fit to give me another one so I am trying my best to learn how to sail it right. Thanks again. ~Karen Sue
Becca, I can not believe that our 30 days are up. I have truly enjoyed this month of luscious creativity. All the card recipients are truly blessed by your generosity. I can see why you have saved this one for the grand finale. This is one I would keep for my self and post in my office for daily reminder. We have had a really stormy year with health issues here at the Smith household. It started in January with one of my twin granddaughters who underwent major surgery and is doing great now. I lost my 39 yr old son a few months back and my husband was diagnosed with a rare cancer and is battling that right now and my 88 yr old mother who lives with us is sliding down hill rapidly this yr. But I just keep remembering how inspiring you were when you were dealing with John’s illness and I have been able to draw strength from that. Thank you.
Hugs,
Marcie
Beautiful card Becca. I could not sail without Our Dear Lord. Things get rough for all of us and He is always there for everyone. Thanks for your generosity and the month of giveaways.
What an amazing sentiment…that is going on my must have list. It is one I am not familiar with, and it is…just so right. And the card? Outstanding. I think the medallion is probably going on the same list as the stamp.
Am I learning to navigate my ship? Oh, I certainly hope so! I’ve had more than enough challenge and storm in the last four years to figure it out! And truly, lifelong…it surely should be coming along with practice, giggle!
Becca, I just have to say, this has been such an amazing way to spend 30 days…and I am so blessed to have done this. It could not have come at a better time…you have been part of keeping my rudder pointed straight. During those first really pain filled days, though surgery, to now, it has blessed me more than I can say to stop every morning except the one for surgery, and spend some time in thoughtful reflection, a little prayer, some laughter, and a healthy dose of gratitude here on your blog. And reading through other people’s entries, and getting a peek into their lives…another layer of blessing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I am learning to look forward and not back. There is nothing I can change about yesterday but I can make good choices today. Thanks Becca for sharing your beautiful cards with us!
Hello Becca,
What a beautiful card, as usual.
Yes, I am steering my ship, but occasionally a storm will throw huge waves to knock me off course, but I have found that any obstacle can be overcome with time and help. And the best help is the power of prayer. We all need help and should not be afraid to ask for it.
Love Maureen xxx
I can’t believe 30 days of cards is coming to a close! Its been so uplifting & inspiring. Yes I am learning to sail my own ship. Women are strong, unique and powerful, and I try to embrace those strengths everyday.
Wow what an Amazing giveaway with all the Stunning cards you are giving away. thanks for all you do. yes I’m sailing my ship. you have to keep strong and work through all the things that tip your ship but I will always persevere. thanks
Becca My Friend Hugs
I am definitely learning to steer a new course as my husband of 34 years died a year ago. I have moved to a new city and made countless other changes in my life. I had never lived alone before and I am recently retired so I am learning how to chart my course on being just ME. I have my faith and my family for support. Without that, I would have sunk a long time ago.
This is a very pretty card.
The ship has been in choppy waters so I am learning fast and with patience and understanding the sea is calm again, I am still learning as with all things in life we never stop learning.xx
What a simple yet loaded question. Why are some of us plagued with such doubt and insecurity? I am learning to sail my own ship by reading scriptures and following the examples of strong and successful women.
What a lovely quote and card.
Some days there are so many obstacles in the way I feel like I’m sinking instead of sailing.
The card is so beautiful and pink. It is with God’s help that I am sailing my ship. God bless you Becca for sharing so much with others.
Another beautiful card – tried to find the die cuts but don’t seem to find the link. Are they expired? Would like the instructions/die cuts if available. I’m trying to sail my ship with it’s twists and turns with my DH having memory loss and me just having surgery. I do know God knows best and that things can be worse so prayers are my resource.
After raising 4 children and now helping with 6 grandchildren all I can do is ask the Lord to help me daily to sail the ship on this journey of life.
Everyday!! It seems like there is always a storm on the horizon, or maybe a leak or a tear in the sail. Everyday, something to learn or to remember from past storms. Hopefully, one day, the seas will calm and it will be “smooth sailing”.
Thank you for these 30 days. I am usually just a voyeur, but it was fun to participate. I love your cards, but I really enjoy your insights.
Wishing you God’s Peace.
Hi Becca, This is a stunning card, great sentiment and beautiful die-cuts.
I can’t believe how quickly these 30 days have passed, and 30 beautiful cards re-visited that will be received by 30 lucky recipients.
I am learning every single day, I have lots of insecurities, lacking in confidence, and have lots of anxiety in my life, but each day I try to learn how to overcome them, enough to enjoy my life.
Enjoy your day.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
what a gorgeous card!!with God behind me I can!
Wow, can’t believe it’s been 30 days already. Congrats to all the lucky ladies that have received a piece of your beautiful work. I’ve been battling storms for about 3 years now and am getting tired but I keep going if not for myself then at least for my hubby and daughter. I want to be around to see her get married next year, but it’s been really hard.
My answer to the metaphor ‘sailing your ship’ is ‘each new day is a gift from God’. Each moment from the time you awake till nightfall is a lesson in awareness. I constantly ask myself what is the lesson with each event and how can I help make this a better day, a better neighborhood, and better country……even it’s just a little thing. With age, life’s experiences and wisdom, I have found joy in little things and try hard not to let the other little things stress me out. Ain’t life beautiful!
Thank you so much Becca for sharing these cards with us for the past 30 days. It has truly been inspirational. Over the past few weeks I have been reminded that my real roll in life is that of a protector and a take charge person. I feel very blessed to be able aware of my purpose at this stage of my life.
beautiful card yes I have been sailing my own ship for years
This card must be the prettiest of all of them but your cards are so exquisite I don’t think you can rate one over the others. Thank you so much for this last month. It has been fun seeing all the cards again and reading all the comments. I am still learning to navigate, even at age 74, especially with 4 preteen grandchildren. Sometimes I am very close to the rocks and other times it is clear sailing. It is good that God is the pilot. all worth it in the end. God be with you today and to the end of the earth.
Gorgeous card Becca! Yes with lots of prayers!
Today’s card is absolutely beautiful! I have learned to let God navigate my ship’s sail, and trust Him when storms arrive to keep me safe until the storms pass (the storms always pass).
Your card is fantastic!
I sail my ship with my Lord at the wheel. Without Him, I am nothing.
Thanks for the give away. Your cards are so beautiful.
Hi, Becca,
I can see how “30 Days of Giving” has come from a journey of healing. There is comfort in knowing one is not alone. I’ve felt a transition in the past 30 days…from enjoying your beautiful cards and checking to see if I was the lucky winner, to looking for the question of the day and reading the comments. I’m in very good company – strong women, creative, generous and God-connected and inspired. With fortifying wind in your sails, I look forward to hearing about where you are charting your course and being on board with you through your journey!
I didn’t win any of your cards but I have received your gifts. Thank you so much for who you are and what you do!
Love and blessings,
Sandy
I am learning to sail my ship by trying to allow God to be the captain and I be his first mate – rather than the other way around. I have so enjoyed each and every day of this journey with you Becca. You are a blessing to us in every way. Love the card again today.
Beautiful card. With the four winds blowing and life’s storms raging God is teaching me to sail my ship and stay afloat. Just when I think I have it God comes back and say I’m not through with you yet. Yes I am paientley learning to sail my ship.
Well I think I am learning to sail my ship everyday of the week, every week of the month and every month of the year.
The wind keeps changing and I have to remember that there are calm seas and sunny blue skies some where in the bigger weather scheme of life for me and my husband. But in the mean time we just weather the storm that doesn’t seem to have and end.

Forgot to say how much I have enjoyed waking to you beautiful cards each morning Becca.
Having the possible chance to be in possession of one has has made the month go so much quicker.
Take care and I await the the next wonderful surprise for next time.

Beautiful card. I think I anchored myself for the last year but ready to start sailing again to see where life leads me.
I’m very confident in where I am and feel my purpose at this point is teaching others to sail…
Morning Becca and your card and sentiment is excellent. Yes I am learning to said my ship, life is made up with lots of little oceans to learn to sail. So pleased that you have come through everything you have too.
Hugs Trish.
Hi Becca, what a wonderful quote to following with appraisal beautiful card. I am continuing to weather the storm, UT some days those big waves knock you down and takes your breath away. It’s prayer that brings me through and keeps me afloat and moving forward.
Every day is a new lesson in sailing my ship! Some days the sails are filled full and sailing is so smooth, other days the sails a deflated and it’s a turbulent ocean out there, with a lesson learned.
I have so been inspired by your 30 Days of Giving and your wonderful questions, they have made me think and think even deeper, I truly thank you for that.
Becca Feeken you are a tremendous inspiration not only with your gorgeous cards and blog; that you so graciously share with all of us, but with your words of wisdom.
May God continue to Grace you, your family and all that matters to you with Grace, Love, Peace and Faith.
What a wonderful 30 days you have shown us with the beauty of your cards and generosity of spirit in giving them away. With life’s ups and downs there is always much to learn but I am learning to steer in the right direction
Hugs Alison
What a great sentiment on this beautiful card! Learning to sail my ship is a lifelong endeavor and little by little I’m making progress! My faith is what moves me forward.
Hi Becca,
I have enjoyed all of the cards you have had in the 30 days of giving. Thanks again for sharing such a beautiful talent & bringing joy to your community. You truly are an inspiration to many.
I know every day I say I love the card you made, but you honestly have left the best till last.
I pray every day that God gives me the guidence & courage to sail my own ship. There have been many rough seas but they alway seem to calm in the end.
Looking forward to see what you have to delight us with next,
God Bless x
Yes, I learned how to sail my ship. I think I learned at an early age. I always knew what I wanted, went for it, and did not let obstacles get in my way. I was probably an odd little child to my teachers! This is another awesome card – you are amazing!
What a lovely card, Becca, and such an inspirational sentiment. At this stage in my life the ship is sailing through peaceful waters and life is good. I do so enjoy opening your blog every day, even when you are not generously giving away your very beautiful cards.
Whew! This sentiment is timely. I am currently learning to sail a new ship and find the waters chopping. It’s a good thing The Captain up stairs is in charge!
Thanks for this 30 day series.
I do believe I’ve learned to sail my ship. To have grown up in a dysfunctional family, I’m always amazed at the strength and resolution God has given me! We have been married almost 29 years and have 2 beautiful daughters. God didn’t promise us smooth sailing but He did promise that He is there for us in stormy times! Again, I LOVE your beautiful card! Thanks so much for the month of really good questions!
Oh yes, as I get older I am learning. I open the word of God and it’s new and improved each time. He gives me what I need each time I seek. You too have been such a blessing to us out here. How sweet of you to share with all of us. Blessings, Lisa
Hi Becca,
I think my boat is crashed most of the time,but even with a crocked sail I still keep sailing along. I have very much enjoyed all of your cards this month. Thank you so much for sharing.
Smiles, Bonnie
This is one of my favorite quotes! I have it in a page of my ‘Positive Thoughts’ journal along with Shakespeare: When the sea was calm, all the boats alike show’d mastership in floating. (Coriolanus Act III Scene IV) I keep learning to adjust my sails through the varied tempests of life.
I am working on learning to sail my ship and to know my truth. I think it is an ongoing process and sometimes we fall and have to get back up. I am in the getting back up stage and hope to be pushing forward with full steam again. Thanks for this month it has really made us think outside the normal crafting mode. I think it has been a great experience for us all.
Another beautiful card!
I keep trying every day
I so aspire to do cards like this. this is so beautiful.
The phrase ‘saving the best till last’, springs to mind, but honestly, Becca, I could have used that phrase every day of our 30 day voyage with you! You have been a wonderful hostess and I have loved every card, every post of yours and have read through comments made by visitors. Today has caused me to well up uncontrollably as I’ve read through comments. Without your blog, I wouldn’t have seen the outpouring of faith that your question today has inspired. And it is such a blessing – so thank you!
We are currently navigating stormy seas, but anchored by God, buoyed by faith, following Christ and with the power of the Holy Spirit in our furls, we are learning to sail our ship!
Hugs

Oh Becca this card is amazing – so soft and feminine and gorgeous!!
It is through prayer and my faith that I am (still) learning how to ‘sail my ship’ called life. Without God I would be nothing!
Blessings
Maxine
I am learning to sail my ship. I know what my limits are but at the same time I am not afraid to try something new. You don’t know if you can do something until you try.
The hinged card style is my true favorite and this one is particularly pretty.
Some days it feels like my ship is sinking so no use steering it.
Then I read the comments made by others whose lives are so troubled yet they keep sailing on, that I take a deep breath and push forward again. Thank you and thank you also to your followers for inspiration and hope.
I simply adore this card, Becca! The lacy look, beautiful pink offset against the white and your charming bow! I love, love, love it! One of my very favorites but I do love them all!
The last two years have been the most challenging of my life. My wonderful Father passed away two years ago yesterday, I had a mini stroke, two surgeries on my foot and the fall that not only broke my bones but has had other serious complications. My faith has been stretched further than ever before. The indignities off a serious injury nearly knocked me into a serious depression while the heartache of loss and the pain of the physical injuries added to my struggle. In the midst of all this, my God has shown me so many things about myself and I have learned to navigate my life in a way I had not known how to do in the past. At 65 years old, God has shown me that I am much stronger than I ever knew. Life can change in a heartbeat but I know my relationship with God is on a deeper level. I have come to better understand that it is only through my faith in God that I am able to sail my own ship.
I GUESS I WILL NEVER BE A GOOD SAILOR. I JUST BAKE COOKIES AND DEPEND UPON MY FAMILY TO KEEP ME AFLOAT.
Good morning Becca, Thankyou for the last 30 days!!! It has truly been a beautiful journey!!! I too was lucky enough to win one of your cards Bless you once again!!!
It’s sad but all things come to an end!!! We can all still check your blog each day and
still enjoy your gift of giving : )
I’ve been lost in a storm more than once but that’s life : ) I hope I’m sailing my ship ok!!!
I’ve learnt that you have to be grateful for everyday whatever the weather!!!
You’ve made me think, laugh, remember, cry and realise just how old I really am :)
Bless you once again you sweet angel!!!
Good luck everyone!!!
Have a good one!!!

Absolutely beautiful card and words. Thank you for all of the inspiration that you share with us.
I love this card and the sentiment touches my soul. This has been my mantra in life. Not an expert, but I will never give up!!
Another gorgeous card Becca … just love the pinks and white and all the embellishments and dies. I’m not exactly sure what “learning how to sail your ship” means? If it means, have you figured out what type of stamper/crafter you are, the answer is YES! I love most any type of crafting. Today I made a cat tent for my daughter’s two cats … it was a lot of fun to make and very rewarding.
WOW! What a wonderful month with all those gorgeous cards and fabulous sentiments. I re-learning to sail my ship by starting a new job this weekend. After 6 years of elder caregiving for a family member, I’m going back to work part-time which is great, but it’s 3 8.5 hr days and it’s been years, since I worked that many hours at a time and worked the swing shift on top of it. So I’m on the newest sailing ship in my life now and although I’m excited and looking forward to this next sail, I’m nervous and scared about it as well. Hopefully in a few days, I’ll have learned this new ship.
Wow! Hard to believe that today is the last day!
Always a beauty! I am slowly learning to sail my ship. Slowly but surely!
Valerie
Thirty day of beauty.Great Job
Thank you so much for doing this. It has been a wonderful journey. I haven’t gotten to leave a comment but a couple of times but all the cards have been beautiful. I will be going back as I have time and reading comments. Thank you again!
What a lovely card and encouraging quote! God is helping me to sail my ship one day and one moment at a time. I lost my husband in November of 2014 very suddenly and I have 2 young daughters ( 6 and 2 ) to raise, support, teach, and encourage in their faith. At times, it has been absolutely overwhelming to be alone and to face not only the grief, but the vast future that seems big and empty. But God is faithful and He promised He would provide all our need in His riches in Christ Jesus. One moment, one day at a time, we are learning to sail our ships, my daughters and I, and we are slowly going forward in life.
Am I learning how to sail my ship? Every day. And some days it’s pretty hard to find the right heading. That’s why there are friends and family to give us support and direction.
It has been a very tough ship, but I learned to navigate it. There were very rough times, storms, hurricanes but I am still standing and my faith did most of the work.
How sweet. Love the card and will have to think about how sailing my ship for a bit before can answer that one. I’ve really enjoyed all 30 days. Thank you for sharing.
Yes, I am learning to sail my own ship. I still lean heavily on God to get me through the storms. This is the first time in my life that I have ever lived by myself. For 65 years, I was either in my Mother’s home or married. Now that my husband has died and my three sons are on their own in another state, I am alone. The last two years have been a learning process for me. Not so much in learning how to do something, but how to deal with the extra time on my hands that I now have. For almost thirteen years taking care of my paraplegic husband, there was no time or energy left for me. So now I am rested, getting adjusted to doing just for me, and looking forward tomorrow. Now if I could get to cleaning the house instead of making cards!
Oh yes, ive got good wind in my sails. When its not a strong wind, ya just coast for awhile. This is an exquisite ending…cant wait to see tomorrows surprise. Xo
Weathering the storm? Hmmm – Actually I am very blessed as I do not have many storms to weather. The very few times I’ve had problems, I pray to the Lord to just let me touch the hem of his robe and I know I’ll be just fine. Would so love one of the Amazing Becca’s cards! Thanks for the chance to win one.
Wow – another oh so pretty card and such a great sentiment.
Yes, I am learning how to sail my own ship but I just hope I don’t get tested too often! It’s been such a pleasure to view your creations this month – thanks, Becca!
What a beautiful card & message! We actually, are forced to “only” do the “next step” for a while… as full time caregiver for my sweet M <3 m, age 95, and my health failed… we are a couple of sailors that never thought we'd be like this! We are so grateful & pray through our current step & only (not perfectly) but only try to focus on the next step we need to do & not the last very hard one we just did. Thank you for a nice respite!
Dear Becca ,I have been inspired by you to stay on board and keep sailing ,Thank you for sharing your gifts with us ladies and may the Lord Bless you in everything you do for Him
Yes, I’m sailing my ship with the Lord right by my side every day.
Thank you for 30 days of give a ways.
This, by far, is my favorite card. Yes, I am learning how to sail my own ship now that I have retired.
Outstanding card as usual. As far as learning to sail my ship I keep trying getting thru the obstacles that are sent, but keep trying. He will see me thru.
Beautiful card, beautiful sentiment. Will always be learning! Each day presents a new sea, for the sea is ever changing.
In sailing, my compass always pointed to God and I never turned over the helm to anyone else.
Perfect, Perfect, Perfect. This has to be my all time favourite card of yours Becca. Love the colours and the saying is beautiful.
When the waves get bigger – I push on because its about persevering and learning from experiences. Love your beautiful cards always!
Becca, the 30 days of inspiration was great fun! Loved reading the comments from all! At 65 , I’m learning how to navigate my sails independently. Prayer is always a part of this! God bless you! I’ll miss the daily blogs!
I am learning how to sale my ship. I am heading into new open waters with having just retired. But we are looking forward to many great adventures and beautiful harbors to explore. I have enjoyed this ride. Thank you for the beautiful inspirations you provide us all.
Hi,Becca.
Always Im watching ,but first time I posted your blog.
So sweet, elegant & gorgeous cards. Too inspired!!
Well, I’m learning to sail my ship everyday by watching your blog and card, because I can’t find anybody here in Japan crafting gorgeous & elegant cards as you are making. You are like a star leading me in the dark sea. Thanks!!
I love, love, love what you do and the way you present your creations. Your work and your words inspire me. I look forward to the day when I have more free time to spend perfecting the techniques I have learned from your site. Thank you!
Stunning, but aren’t they all?!
I lost my husband of 40 years on Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 24), 2011. So yes, I am definitely learning to sail my ship, single-handed, on a very lonely voyage.
The saying goes “with age goes wisdom”. In my case, the age is there, hope the wisdom is too!
You are amazing! I am forever learning how to sail my ship. Sometimes you have calm waters and other times rough seas.
Becca – I’m so excited about your future. Your cards are so beautiful. You have a special touch in your design – not sure how to describe it. I just know I love your stamps and dies. I had just found JustRite a couple years ago where I’d bought several of your stamps and dies. I was so disappointed about their closing and I went on Amazon and bought several more of your stamp sets thinking that was the only way I would find them. So I am happy to see that you may be offering your own stamps and dies – I just love them and the people I make cards for love them too. I don’t do much “commenting” but I have followed your 30-day blog and had to express my thoughts to you. May your future be filled with hope, grace and peace.
I am but it’s a bit back & forth. But “stay the course” is my motto.
Beyond beautiful..thanks for sharing your stunning work with us!!
Becca,
It is impossible to have a favorite? Each of your cards reflects your thoughtful creativity. You go to great lengths to make elegant seem simple when I know it is born of long hours and much trial and error. You are such a role model of both creativity and generosity. I thank you!
LOVELY!!!!!!! i’m like this card,is very romantic & super chic!!!!!
I love this card! It is Lacy, Feminine, Elegant and Delicate.
And it so fits my situation and this is how I am Adjusting My Sails: You see, I have been battling Complex PTSD with out treatment of any kind for 37 years but I just decided last week to no longer let my Fear control me and consume me. I just started the process for Treatment.
I can use everyone’s Prayers please?
Becca, I love your heart and I love your cards. Thanks for being such an inspiration in both!
I am learning to sail my ship although I get off course sometimes. It is quite a journey. I really appreciate your blog because your cards are very inspirational and sometimes get me back on the right course.
HI Becca,
Thank you for taking the time to explain the way blogs work and how they are supported. I did not post a comment many times because I wanted to give others a chance to win, and I knew there would be those “really special to me” cards for which I’d post a comment. NOW I know better, and will post to support you.
One of my favorite cards was on Day 28. I posted a comment simply because I loved the card and wanted to enter the drawing.
Thanks for the promo on the artisan explorer. I’m guessing they will retire soon, so hope to get one before they retire. It would be great to have for those little cuts that the grand caliber is too big for… ya know.
Thanks much
Hugs
Wanda
Love this card. Gives a relaxing feeling, just looking at it. Gives the feeling of calm waters! Thank you for sharing your talent!
Hi Becca
First let me thank you so much for the 30 days of giving, I have enjoyed it so much – seeing your exquisite cards, marvelling at the wondrous dies and reading everyone’s inspiring comments.
I find it very hard to chose just one favourite, so I would like to choose 2 please. Both cards shown on 25 or 27 July would get my vote simply for the muted colours, and beautiful cards
Regards
Pat
Beautiful! And I LOVE the quote.
Wow, can hardly believe the month has passed by so fast, mainly because of you Becca, you have been such an inspiration to me over the years and I totally admire you and your creative works. God has Blessed you with a very artist ability. Through the amazing world of the internet you have shared this talent with us all over cyberland, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this as I have gained so much from you, Love, Inspiration, Sharing, Giving, Creating, Imagination, Style and the list goes on. Thank you, thank you beautiful lady, I call you my friend, my sister in crafting, my inspiration!
I have yet to learn how to sail my boat, but I better hurry as number 70 is coming fast!
Hugs and God Bless each and everyday!
Gretchen
Becca i so love this card its so delicate and elegant. But most of all its the sentiment. You see i’m 69 and still learning to sail my ship. But like the disciples i sometimes get fearful out on the seas of life. I wish i could say with the same faith that Louisa May Alcott that i fear no storm all i can see is that often you will find me clinging to a Rock when the storm gets really bad.
I am not a rugular person, But I have seen your cards wihen I come. They are beautiful, and can fill the heart with encouraagement and love. Thank you so very much for doing this. I hope it will cont to reach other people that might need a touch of love.
Thankyou again.
Bon N
Becca,
Catching up on your blog as I have been away. I just wanted to comment on the saying on this card. Thinking of when I started to follow you and following your journey and hardships that you sailed so bravely through, I though of how appropriate this was for you. I can remember you saying that you had some decisions to make in regards to the direction of your life. I believe that your faith had guided you in the right direction and we , your readers, thank God that you are still creating and sharing. The wasters are never always calmed, but you have become one heck of a sailor!
Blessings Always,
Bernie K.
I LOVE ALL THAT YOU DO!!!!!!,GOD has bless you with your talent,thank you for sharing it with us,God bless you and your family.
