Living the Woven Life

Threads are a part of my daily life

I have just finished a one year position

as part of the Mirrix Looms

Social Marketing team.

I must say it was quite an honor to work

with Claudia and Elena.
An extroidinary Mother and Daughter team.

I learned a lot about marketing,

social media and how to even use a new

blog software called Hubspot.

Everything in life is a learning experience,

is it not?

I wanted my last blog post for them

to be one that was heartfelt.

I believe I accomplished that ...

I entitled the post

"Living the Woven Life"

and I spoke about how it is to be

a Tapestry Weaver today,

what it involves

and how it is to live a life

creatively each and every day.
How to slow down and
truly enjoy the weaving process.
For me, it is a gift to have returned
to this art form, and I am grateful.

Rather than state it all here

I would love for you to visit their site

and read it,

even if you aren't a Tapestry Weaver,

I do believe you will enjoy the read

and apply the thoughts to other parts of your life.

You can find the post HERE . . .

My handwoven pouch giveaway 

I wanted to do something special for Mirrix Looms

and I created this handwoven pouch necklace

and wrote two blog posts about how it was

designed, created and woven.

At the end of this month,

a lucky winner will get this pouch,

full of love and inspiration tucked inside.

In a previous blog post of mine,

I wrote about the joy of giving to others ...

It's certainly been a heartfelt week for my family and I.

I lost my precious Father n Law,

who suffered from ALS with strength and dignity.

 Emotions are flying right now,

and trying to put into words how I feel can't be done.

How important it is to live your life well,

to be content with where you are at this moment,

to treat others with consideration, love and respect.

I promise you can't go wrong if you do.

I am hoping that your week is filled with good things,

and happiness finds you at every corner.

My keys for successful living . . .

My keys for successful living . . .

I attended a beautiful family wedding

this past weekend in North Carolina

 and it was so inspiring!

Lots of vintage decorations were used

that carried meaning to the bride.

Everything was thought out with heart and love!

This door in fact was used at the altar

and belonged to her grandmother's farm house.

It had been kept in a barn for a

perfect day such as this.

Somehow I was drawn to the keyhole

while taking this picture

and the thought for a prompt

for my blog this week came to mind.

I truly believe my keys for successful living are ...

Living with a happy heart

Having a strong faith to guide me is important

I must find as much time to be creative as possible

Writing is a way of life ... it is important to get the words down on paper

Treat others as you would like to be treated

See the beauty in all things

Smiling is a gift we can give to others

Enjoy the simple things

Finding time to rest is good for the soul

Family love matters and it is a gift

Believing in yourself is crucial

Don't be so serious!

See yourself as a delight

Love yourself with all your might!

"Seeing the beauty"

So I will take my own words of advice,

with the season of summer now upon us,

I want each day to matter, just a little bit more!

Slow the pace down,

accomplish without stress

and

have plenty of time to hold

my little Annabelle in my arms.

By the way ...

I will have a precious little grandson

coming my way this October,

my other son Drew and his wife Lauren are expecting!

Life just keeps getting better and better,

for I am truly blessed.
