I’m not sure what changed for me…because it has. Maybe it was when I first washed my car and felt that sense of accomplishment. Or maybe when I was humbled building houses in the mountains of Honduras. Dirt just stopped grossing me out. I like the accomplishment of doing, of creating with my own hands.I’ve said many times that I believe I’m doing now exactly what I am inspired to do, and it seems the older I am getting, the more of it want to be doing. I want to grow, to learn, to expand my boundaries.And I think that resonates with most of us. We long to accomplish, to restore…to create our very own masterpiece. That’s what this book is all about. That….and a whole lot of paint.”

“Have you ever gotten your hands really dirty? I mean, really dirty? When I was a little girl, dirt completely grossed me out. The texture of in between my fingers, and the sweat from the Alabama sun that accompanied it were a bit too much for this small Southern belle.
That is so beautifully written Shaunna. I think when I was in my teens dirt was definitely not cool. Now, like you, I've grown to love the sense of achievement that comes from rolling up your sleeves and gettting stuck in.
I was really enjoying the read and relating to it completely and then it finished… boo hoo… Well done and please keep going! Have a great weekend. 🙂
Wait, how did I miss this??? Way to go, Shaunna! Can't wait to read it!
shaunna- sounds great so far! i can't believe you didn't like to get dirty!!! i was always playing in dirt, mkaing mud pies, catching toads and digging up worms. i also had the girly dramatic side and loved to play dress up, role play, and wear lots of dresses…. so i guess you combine the two and this is what you end up with. looking forward to the ebook!
