Spread the loveWhenever I am tackling how to balance my work and personal to-dos, I always find myself writing lists to organize and track the gamut of items. These lists outline the tasks to achieve my overall goals. Often the tasks fall into three categories: communicating information; reaching milestones; adjusting schedules. As with most people,…

Spread the loveBecause Rhode Island is such a small state, folks tend to be close-knit and not too keen on outsiders from elsewhere. Even though Rich has family here, I am not included in the ladies’ gatherings for lunches and tea because I work full-time during the day. Only once was I invited, and that…

Unwinding History’s Textiles

Spread the loveBefore starting the History Unwound Retreat (which is scheduled for March 13-15, 2015 by the way), I have always been fascinated by period fashions. Whether it be 12th century Japanese robes, 20th century fisherman sweaters, and ancient Viking dress, I am intrigued by not only the “what” but also the “why” such items…

People are SICK!!
How distressing – I am so sorry.
We’re all just stunned.
I can imagine what Blacksburg is going thru – we’re 50 miles away!
(((hugs)))
Yikes! How scary!
That is horrifying! Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, families and students; I can’t even get my mind around the whole catastrophe.
You have my sympathies. It was a shock when it happened in Great Barrington, too. And you know you can’t do a damn thing about it having happened, really, other than try to help others deal, and yourself.
That said, anything I can do?
What an awful story. My thoughts are with all the victims.
I saw this today on the Internet at work. The numbers kept going up and up and the day went on.
They are still trying to identify bodies. Can you imagine if you were a parent waiting to hear?
This is so awful. I’ll do some chanting for them (and you) at the Zen Center tomorrow night.
Ugh! Horrible! Sorry…don’t know what else to say…
I’m so sorry. Listened to the NPR coverage yesterday in stunned silence. Can’t grasp what went on in his mind. So many families grieving…
I can barely fathom this tragedy as an unconnected stranger. You must be in a rough spot. [hugs!]
I’m still in shock. How can one person kill 32 others at one go?
My prayers for the innocent victims.
Oh, no! Such a scary event made more horrible because you have a connection to the place. I’m so sorry. Take care.
Oh my gosh, I had no idea you are an alumni from there. It’s such a sad and disturbing story – and I’m sure it’s a million times worse for all who have gone to that school. Take care of yourself.
It took me until this evening to remember who it was that I read who went to VA Tech. I’m so sorry for how it’s going to change how you feel about your school.
So senseless…tough to wrap my head around this tragedy. Hug a lot of bunnies.
Oh, Kimberly, I’m so sorry. I was worried about you and the storm when I didn’t hear from you (about that silly sock yarn swap) so I checked your web page. I hope you don’t mind. This is such a devastating, impossible thing to understand. What a tragedy.
=( This is absolutely dreadful. The shock must be immense for you since you are much closely connected to VT.
I have no words….
Awful and unexplainable.
