Defining Ourselves: Mafia

The word mafia (Italian: [ˈmaːfja]) derives from the Sicilian adjective mafiusu, which, roughly translated, means "swagger", but can also be translated as "boldness" or "bravado". In reference to a man, mafiusu (mafioso in Italian) in 19th century Sicily signified "fearless", "enterprising", and "proud", according to scholar Diego Gambetta.[2] In reference to a woman, however, the feminine-form adjective mafiusa means 'beautiful' or 'attractive'.

I pulled this from Wikipedia. I thought this defines our group well. We are a brave, fearless group of beautiful people and souls. We're family. Craft and creativity brought us together and the boldness to use it to make positive change will keep us together. This is the mafia of love and learning. The Rattan Creek Craft Mafia. We'll kill them with kindness... And crafts.
