It has felt like I am Goldilocks with the three knitting teachers.  The first teacher was okay and yet I didn&#8217;t feel it quite fitted, the second teacher was too busy to fit me in.  And the third teacher feels a wonderful fit for me.  One of my friends said &#8216;why does it matter so much?  Can&#8217;t you just go to the teacher who is local?&#8217; and I said &#8216;I could, and I choose not to&#8217;.  I spent a good few years &#8216;making do&#8217; in my life and I refuse to do that now.  I want to feel happy and excited about my knitting, and along with that goes the support that I am paying for.  And the personality of the person teaching me needs to &#8216;feel&#8217; right to me.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have begun to make decisions based on what my heart feels, rather than what my logical mind tells me.  To &#8216;live&#8217; and love from the heart is a completely different way of approaching my life and I&#8217;m curious to know where that might lead me.  It&#8217;s led me to a wonderful new knitting teacher and a new sewing teacher.  It is leading me to this continuing &#8216;healing&#8217; journey and the sifting and sorting of the people in my life.  What people do I want to keep and those I want to discard.  And its helping me to make decisions that I have not wanted to look at or contemplate.  Heartfelt living is such a beautiful concept and I&#8217;m ready to live my life with these sentiments now.  Oh where will I end up &#8211; that&#8217;s a fun contemplation to consider!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heart-Felt Living I have been researching knitting support and have been &#8216;trying&#8217; different teachers to see what might be a good fit for me.
