Colorado Springs – What Places Should We Visit

What should we do and see? The Chromosome 18 conference is in Colorado Springs this July. I’m so excited for this one as I’ve longed to visit there!

Any suggestions for places we should visit? And, also suggestions for any place that I should visit for some me time? Thank you!! 💜🙏

Psychedelic Rainbow of Emotions is Coming Along

January 10 2019:

Gerry sent a quilt update!! This is going to be so very cool!! Actually, it already is!! This 3X3 Psychedelic Rainbow of Emotions Quilt gets to fly all the way to Houston when it’s done!

Gerry was our “neighbor” at the Barnes & Noble book signing in November. She fell in love with Lillian’s Rainbow of Emotions artwork. Which led to what you see in the photo!! Cool! xoxo

January 14 2019:

Gerry sent another update! She says it’s like working on a puzzle!

January 17 2019:

And, another update!! Little by little it’s coming together!

Let us know if you’d like a 3 X 3 hand quilted Rainbow of Emotions to hand on your wall! xoxo

I Felt Much Braver and Not Scared

December 23 2018:

Lillian is at The Romano Duo’s House again this weekend. Yes!!!!

For anyone who doesn’t know: Lillian has a fear of taking showers. She’s always had baths.

About a month ago, she spent a couple of days at The Romano Duo’s place (my Mom and step-father, Frank).

They have a big, walk-in shower and it was perfect for Lillian to “walk” into that fear!! Yay!!! At 17 years old, she’s conquered that one!! 🧚🏼‍♂️🎉🎉🎉🧚🏼‍♂️

Flying to Tennessee and Life is a Fairy Tale

December 19 2018:

Look out Tennessee!!! Where Would You Fly is flying your way!! She’s magical and she sprinkles fairy dust all along way! 💚🧚‍♀️ 🧚🏼‍♂️ 💙

“Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale.” -Hans Christian Andersen …. from the book, “Where Would You Fly” by Lillian Darnell

Go here … Where Would You Fly … to buy a copy of Lillian’s book. Thanks! xoxo

The Most Miraculous Things – Dodgeball for a Cause

December 18 2018:

The most miraculous things happen when we embrace and love it all …

At about 8:00 last night, I received an email that Lillian’s attendance at next year’s Chromosome 18 Conference will be partially funded by a local Reno nonprofit … Hallelujah … Dodgeball for a Cause

I will soon be sharing information about this wonderful, local, nonprofit and their upcoming once per year fundraiser. They help several families each year.

My heart is bursting and dripping with ooey gooey gratitude from all of the blessings being delivered in this past week.
