Wow! it's amazing to have a support network around you. You're very fortunate. It's also wonderful to see people living the value-for-value mentality. You're clearly providing value for the person you're doing hand sewing for, and she is giving value to you in return. I hope for more communities and individuals to adopt this mindset.
I do feel very lucky to live where I do. So much gratitude for the community I am a part of, real heart opening relationships with my friends. xx
