Basket-case...

Well, I'm not quite a basket-case, not yet anyways. I'm entering the busy stretch of work with our AGM coming up in a week and a half. Lots to do...but I am always so blessed on the day of our AGM because I get to spend the evening with some fabulously lovely people with hearts of gold.

I spent a few hours today pricing hand-woven baskets from Uganda. They are gorgeous...and there were many...and they kick started by basket-case craziness. It's amazing to think that the hands of beautiful Ugandan woman put time and effort into each basket. I wonder what they were thinking as they made them...what kind of conversations did they have with the other women around them...and who knows how much time has passed since their completion, but there I was, now on the other side of the world, sitting at a table looking at them.

I feel blessed to be a part of something special during the summer that does something that matters and helps some one far away...
