I am sure you all have felt the same way the last few days. I thought that this was a good message, just thought I would share.
Today I went to a little quilt shop in town where the owner hosted a pillowcase making event. She planned to make 600 pillowcases and send them to the children of Sandy Hook Elem. It was pretty insignificant really, I know that what we were doing wasn't much-- and it was certainly more for us than them. While we were sewing, at least we felt like we were doing something. I pray my heart out for the people back there every moment I can, but I didn't feel any kind of solace until I was working at something for them-- even though it was really small. It was theraputic in a way to be with all those women in the attic of the shop just working at something together.
The first weekend in December, the choir I am in did our annual Christmas concert at the Ellen Eccles Theater. I have never had so much joy putting on a Christmast Concert-- and I have been in lots over the years. Our guest artists were phenomenal-- and two of the most gorgeous, gracious, and talented women I have ever met. I was especially glad to have my family there. Thanks so much Gma Green and Gma Stubbs for coming all the way up to see the show-- and to my parents for coming and bringing them, too. I love to sing, but it means the most to me when I can share the music with my family. Thanks for coming!! Here is a clip of our two artists-- I think you may have heard them before. Just for a little Christmas cheer if you like. Merry Christmas to you all.

Merry Christmas to you too. I am sure even the smallest efforts to help others make a big difference.

I want to come hear you sing sometime.
Thanks Julie.
