Our 2021 Theme of the Year: Beauty in Color

Last January, when we encouraged the world to slow down, take a pause, and snuggle on the sofa with a loved one, a cup of tea, or a good book, we had no idea exactly how much we would need our Sofa Snugglers to tackle 2020.

What a year it was!!

Personally, 2020 was rollercoaster ride of difficult lows that revealed triumphant truths…

A total knee replacement surgery took me down about as far as I’ve ever been, but it also proved that I am much stronger and determined than I imagined.

My husband and children being sent away from the college campus where he works and the kids live and study broke my heart for them, but it also gave our family incredible time together that was a wonderful gift.

We felt physically ill when quarantining forced us apart from our football family – especially our players – as racial injustice and social tensions across the country made us want to hold and protect and be there for one another. The misery felt in that distance taught me to be present and cherish our time together, to tell my loved ones exactly how important they are to me over and over again and every chance I get.

Losing my mother-in-law to Alzheimer’s disease in August was terribly sad and difficult, yet celebrating her life and her incredible impact with family was a tremendous blessing.

2020 showed me that my faith, my family, my friends, and my community are what keep me going when times are tough. It is to them that I turn when I need to be lifted up and encouraged. I rely on them in so many ways.

They are beautiful!

My slice of the world is made up of people from all across the country and from all kinds of backgrounds. They practice a variety of religions and work various jobs. The things and people they love are very diverse from person to person; their hobbies and activities and thoughts and perspectives are unique across the board. They live in different colors of houses in different sizes of cities. They wear different colors of clothes in all kinds of styles. Their hair, their eyes, their skin are all different colors.

And they are beautiful!

Whether it be paint, flowers, dishes, cars, clothes, yarn, fabric, hair, eyes, or skin, color is beautiful.

It adds vibrance and richness all around us. There is abundant beauty in color, and we are a better world for the color in it.

So, that is our theme for 2021:

Beauty in Color

I can’t wait to see where it takes us!

Thank you for being part of my world –

With love and hugs,

Ashli

    I was very moved by your family’s loss due to Alzheimer’s disease. A few years ago, I lost my Mother-in-law to Alzheimer’s as well. She was a second mother and I miss her to this day. It is a horrible disease and was happy to read the report you included in your blog. There are so many families effected by this disease and every positive advance they have on helping those with it provides us hope. I hope you have healed from you knee replacement. The quarantining and tensions in this country is heartbreaking. I do appreciate the 2021 Theme of the Year you have chosen. I don’t think there could have been a more appropriate one. I hope you have a wonderful year and look forward to seeing your quilt. Take care.

    Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something informative to read?

    Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and
    say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still
    new to the whole thing. Do you have any recommendations for novice blog writers?
    I’d really appreciate it.

    It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did,
    the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.

    She wondered whether such women are “liberated from the cultural imperative to present themselves as less desiring and less sexually assertive than men?” That is,are they challenging traditional gendered expectations about what is appropriate for older women in regard to sexual desire and behavior?To some degree,高級 ラブドール

    I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

    Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with? I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!

    Can I simply say what a comfort to find someone who actually understands what they are
    talking about on the web. You actually realize how to bring an issue to
    light and make it important. A lot more people
    must check this out and understand this side of the story.
    I can’t believe you aren’t more popular because you most certainly possess the gift.

    Excellent blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
    I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a

    free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally confused ..
    Any suggestions? Many thanks!
