Reflections of life’s journey
Have you ever looked closely at a tapestry?
I know, I know … what does it have to do with ‘who am I’.
Bear with me.
Each little thread is as important as the next and all together creates a masterpiece.
Our lives are like a tapestry, ever evolving … every thread of life experiences create the beauty we see.
So, who am I?
I am you and you are me.

You can’t help that birds will fly over your head but you can stop them from building nests in your hair. – Unknown
Such a great quote.
It is such a good reminder not to let obsessive thoughts nest.
Sometimes I feel like I am in a scene from the Alfred Hitchcock movie, The Birds.
Way too many birds.
… for me my mind never stops and I find it so easy to latch on to a thought … it is like a broken record, replaying it over and over in my head.
In doing so it takes me away from what matters most … this precious moment, right here, right now with you.
However I have tools, I have a choice to accept the thought as it is and simply let it go.
How?
Just by labeling it … when a thought comes, I say ‘thinking’ and return back to my breath.
Oh, I do this so many times a day, but it is ok.
What matters most is progress over perfection.
As I do, I find peace and the gifts I receive being present are truly priceless.
So … my birds aren’t nesting, they are migrating.
Have a wonderful day this Memorial Day and know you are truly loved just as you.
Please take care of you.
