I know this would be a project Mama would have supported. The book will chronicle the stories of twenty strong women, women who did what they had to for their families and their communities and their selves.
The book is titled "Celebrations in the Garden" and that reminds me of a piece of embroidery Mama had made when I was a kid. The embroidery consisted of a poem, with flowers and birds and a sun. She had framed it and it hung in the hallway of our home. The poem went like this:
The kiss of the sun for pardon
The song of the birds for mirth
One is nearer God's heart in a garden
Than any place else on earth.

Hahaha!
I was searching for the words of the sampler Mama had embroidered and here they are!
Here, also, is a half-started post, published by mistake, that had been intended in another blog.
Nice!
And I'm leaving it right here, too, but with a link to the post it was meant to be.

No way! That would be akin to saying the stars are only out at night.
