I am finally caught up after a few months of scattered and unfocused energy. It has been difficult to concentrate on “normal” things between Thanksgiving (22 people that we fit into a small dining room), Christmas, New Years, the passing away of 2 amazing people in my life – my father-in-law, David May, and my 97 year old apprentice and friend, Bill Cox.
Please take a moment and look at my father-in-law’s web site – https://www.3dstudiocreations.com. He was truly a man of genius in so many ways and he will be greatly missed. Here is a blog post about this amazing man. Not only did he touch people with his creative skills, but his greatest joy was sharing his love of the Lord.
I also put a blog post about my dear friend and woodcarving apprentice, Bill Cox. Another man of many talents and wonderful sense of adventure.
So, after witnessing how these 2 men had lived through wild adventures, learned multiple skills, and touched so many different lives in the process, it truly motivates me to try to reach and influence as many people as possible in my world of woodcarving.
OK – here is my New Year’s resolution. I am putting this in a blog, so I have no excuse NOT to get this done. I’m going to write a book this year. That’s all I’ll say… Keep you all in suspense! (And me too… I wonder what I will do???)
Some titles to consider, don’t worry about the content inside the book.
“Carve Your Way to a Happier Life”
“Manicures for the Woodcarver”
“X-Rated Carvings to Spice Up Your Marriage” (I feel you blushing)
“Martha Stewart is a Hack, Watch This…”
“Making Matt Vanderlist Stammer Like an Adolescent Boy: The Mary May Story”
That should get the creative juices flowing, oh yeah and sign me up for that book, already added to my wish list.
🙂 Thanks for the input, Shannon! I’ll have to hire you as a consultant when I get to writing. (yikes)
Hallo! Auch ich habe am 12.12.2013 meine Tochter Regina verloren und bin über ihr Ableben noch nicht getröstet. So kann ich mit Ihnen die Trauer teilen! Mit freundlichen Grüßen Siegmar
Lengauer, I am so very sorry for your loss. I can’t even imagine how difficult that would be.
