This journal page took on a life of its own. From the very beginning I was weaving it together, just like my inspiration quote says.
I was reading again this week in Morgan Harper Nichols’s book “All along you were blooming” and this quote leaped out and touched me.
“Go in search for more. When you are unraveling into severed threads, new stories are waiting to be woven, and you can hope for new beginnings.
This doesn’t mean your journey will be easy, but moving forward is an act of faith, step by step even when you can’t imagine the tapestry on the other side of this.” MHN
There is so much meaning in these few words. But one thing I know to be true, over and over in my life, is that when things feel like they’re unraveling and in my hardest days–there is wisdom that is gained.
I’m not saying that it happens right away, or that healing doesn’t need to happen first. But time and time again, I know that I can endure and know that new beginnings happen.
I share more about it in the video and the amazing layers that are woven together in the journal page.
I hope you enjoy it, you are inspired, and that you always know you are loved!
