100 Good Wishes - One Squish at a Time!

To welcome and celebrate a new life, there is a tradition in the northern part of China to make a Bai Jia Bei, or 100 Good Wishes Quilt. It is a custom to invite friends and family to contribute a patch of cloth with a wish for the baby. Part of the patch of cloth goes into the quilt for the baby, and the other part of the cloth can go into a creative memory notebook with the wish for the child. The quilt contains the luck, energy, and good wishes from all the families and friends who contribute a piece of fabric.

Squish #82


Nothing real can be threatened
Nothing unreal exists
Herein lies the peace of God
- Course in Miracles

This statement has helped me remember what is really true when trying to make sense of a sometimes crazy world. I wish you peace and tranquility throughout your life.
