Wow, it's been awhile....

Teri Embrey · #1 02-11-2005, 08:29 AM

I just wanted to stop in and say hi to everyone. I don't get here too often these days, but I hope it's still okay to stop and hang once in awhile.

My Yellow Brick Road certainly led me into new places, new ideas, new thoughts...and my new life is beginning to unfurl itself here and there. At first, I thought about how I should have done all this many years ago....but then I realize how lucky I am to get another chance at growing up again. The Depression Monster still lives here, but the battles are quieting down a bit. Who knows, maybe in the end we'll just be friends.

I'm so grateful for the family and friends I found through taking up carving tools, I'm just luckier than all get out! I think about everyone here often, and although I'm pretty scarce around here these days, don't think I've moved out. Never happen. I honest-to-god just have so much "lost" time to both make up for and get rid of, that most of my waking hours are filled right now with exploring ideas, thoughts and dreams I never dared before, through my work, voracious reading (listening), and getting to know who I might be.

Okay, so that's the report from Seattle and I'm sticking to it :-)

Hugs to you all.

Teri

TERI !!!
It's been too long .
But it's sure great to see you now.
We've missed your words of wisdom and humor. It's wonderful to hear you're climbing out of that old pit a bit. I was beginning to think I was going to have to travel ~~shudder~~ out west to PULL you out or move in with you

WOW, back atcha! It is good to hear from "The Santa Carvin Lady", and happy to hear you are feeling fine. Your work just keeps getting better all the time; always worth the search, cause it gets me fired up to go carve something.
Take care

It's hard to imagine you being listed as a "new" member. You're a strong lady, and I'm sure your journey will have a happy ending in a happy place. Keep the faith and keep carving. Mike

Well Hello girlfriend, You have been quiet too long. I had to laugh when I saw Teri Embrey with only one post. You have been so inspirational to so many carvers here. We all enjoy your wisdom and advise not to mention your awsome carvings. Teri it is so nice to have you back with us I certainly hope you stay around and visit for a while.
"Hugs" Colin

Hey, thanks all. It's good to see all of you. I've missed this place. I see there's a new "house", though, so I'll have to figure out how all the new bells and whistles work.

Bright...it's very bright here - alot of bright white. I'm gonna go buy some shades so I can pull them a little - tough on the eyes for us 3-am wanderers.

(heck, just playing with all these little faces can take hours!)
