Be You, 36×36 inch quilt by O.V. Brantley, 2014. For sale at ETSY.com/shop/ovbrantleyquilts

I have learned that I am happiest when I am me. (It sounds like a dumb statement, but many people spend a lot of time trying to be someone else). My resolution for 2016 is to continue to be me. That means I will continue to share my beautiful quilts. I will continue to enjoy the rough and tumble of my local government law practice. I will continue to try to be the voice of reason in the room as my mediation skills teach me to do. I will continue to try to be Super Mom and dote on my now grown-up daughter. I will continue to try to be the Best Boss, the Best Friend, the Best Aunt and the Best Grandmother to my dog Justin. All of that rolled up together is me.

Be happy in 2016 being you!
