Weaving A Pattern Into A Tapestry





Women have always been the weavers of the world, literally and figuratively.  We weave people together, we weave the experiences of life into patterns, and we weave our stories into words. 

SHE WALKS IN BEAUTY by Caroline Kennedy

We all have a story containing a pattern rich in color, but perhaps imperfect with a snag here and there or a bit of unraveling.   Each story is unique as we do not experience life the same, so our chosen words shape the listener's perception.

We must become storytellers whether it is through the written word or oral tradition.  In the telling of our experiences, insight frequently creeps in that had not been present before and the ones embracing the story may learn a valuable lesson to be carried in the heart, long after we are gone.

It is through the act of sharing that we become bonded with others.  As we use our voice to speak out, another may be encouraged to relate a personal story in return.  And so the weaving continues with intricate patterns displaying unfolding wisdom which creates the tapestry of your life.
