Life without a car!
Because of recent unexpected events I am living my life without a car. This adventure took me to nearby Wilmington Train station. I had been past it never inside of it.It is a beautiful place . interesting textures all around. I am a visual artistic person as you may have noticed in my Instagram, Facebook and blog. This is definitely reflected in the bags we create. I love the colors the combining of textures, this is what I enjoy. Hope you are enjoying the photos and bags...

life's lemons- Jessie's Story
When life hands you a mountain of lemons Some people let the lemons take over their lives...
The lemons start to become over whelming and they
curl up on the floor and just look at all the lemons that surround them. They
do nothing.
Others look at the lemons and start cutting them in half and
squeezing the juice out and making lemon aid. They are being proactive, And
maybe a little reactive. But at least they are doing something.
Then there is the person who does all the research on lemons
and finds out what can be done with lemons. Now starts the planning … lemon
curd, lemon cello, lemon meringue pie, lemon cookies, maybe we should candy the
lemon peels. Let’s take this opportunity and use it as much as possible and
turn it into something we can work with. Let’s start a new trend. Let’s take
pictures of all the lemons and sell them. Let’s make a skin moisturizer out of
them. Let’s create hand soap, body wash. Maybe an organic household cleaner…The
possibilities are endless. And so they begin to work never looking at the
mountain of work just chipping away at the mound of lemons one lemon at a time.
When you look around you will find that you have used up all the lemons and you
enjoyed the process. And now you are an authority on lemons & you have a TV show all about lemons on the food
network… who knew …
Some people can be content with whatever is handed
to them in life. Some people just go with the flow and keep it moving forward.
Some are movers and shakers they decide to steer the boat of life and not let
it just drift along taking them where they don’t want to go. They don’t spiral
out of control they are survivors. And just maybe you start to realize the
mountain of lemons is the best thing that happened to you.

Jes Multidimensional - jes 4 kids
For 10 years now Jessie’s bags has been making and giving
bags to breast cancer survivors. We look for volunteers in a variety of
locations.
As our program has become
more mobile we have been spending a lot of time with middle school students. We
enjoy interacting with the public. I especially like creating a spark for
sewing & creating in young people. So I am looking to expand Jessie’s Bags
into a new direction add a new phase. I
have been reaching out to a few people to join us partner with us sponsor us.
We want to develop our mobile community service program with a view towards
kids. We want to continue our work for breast cancer survivors. But add another
dimension, a new Phase. We want to get kids involved in creating bags or other
items using recycled supplies. These created items can be shared with kids who
have cancer.
Jessie’s kids program will help participants apply the
Golden Rule. “All things, therefore, that you want men to do to you, you
also must likewise do to them.”
(In my Opinion) The world we live in today promotes a focus
on self. In social media there are some pages that all you see are Selfies. Anybody
taking that many photos of themselves cannot possibly see the world around them.
The attitude today is me first, what I want,
what’s in it for me. Maybe it’s learned behavior, learned from the bad behavior
as seen on TV they are following.
We want to help kids learn about real
survival. Not made for TV survival. Many times consideration is not given to
others. Jessie’s generation is one of giving & volunteering I’m not so sure
the next ones understands this concept in the same way. Maybe we can help.
Maybe this program will help a few young people think outside of themselves and
help them work good toward others.
We will see if this Phase
of Jessie’s bags takes off. “Jessie’s
Bags for kids” no… I like “Jes 4 Kids” after all our blog is jesbags…Thursday, June 2, 2016
