our quilt healer...

this photo

is making

it's way...

.

 

...around the world

 on facebook
as part of the
"i am" campaign
by the idsc

as of this moment

it has been shared

 more than 290 times

it has over 2,300 likes

and more than

175 comments

in several languages

it's impact is far reaching

yet

the irony

of this photo
of that green dress
of that day
is this...
the last time it was posted
in cyberspace
it created a firestorm
of anger
of resentment
of a venomously hateful tirade
and it shut me down for
days, weeks even
and then
slowly
 i started
over
a new beginning
with wobbly legs
  yet just like a newborn foal
i started to stand up
for myself
for my family
for sarah
and slowly yet
very deliberately
i found new footing
on more solid ground
and soon
life took an amazing turn
one that was so
divinely lead
there were days it felt
greater than award winning fiction
i realized a path
had been created
for us
our purpose
 was taking shape
and i started to see the fruits
of our hard work
our belief in something
greater
a higher power
was confirmed
i am humbled
that our story
is making such a
difference for others
there is no irony that the
message is this
all life is precious
indeed it is

thursday thought...

it's all coming together...

just a few

 weeks ago

i wrote about...

.

 

 my fifty third birthday

and mentioned that

twenty thirteen

was going to be the year

i was so looking forward to

for the first time in

my life

i feel like i am

beginning to see

how life all

comes together

how cleansing your heart

 makes room

for so much more

and that

 believing in myself

believing in others

believing in miracles

just believing

was allowing a

 beautiful synergy

and creating an atmosphere

for humbled greatness

the first of which

 is now in print
