WEAVE THE GOLDEN THREAD . . .

Welcome to the place I call "home" in the ether. This blog is all about weaving what I call "the Golden Thread of Me" -- the golden thread of who I am, in the midst of an incredibly rich but perhaps over-full busy life with multiple roles (wife, mother, home, career, etc.) and seemingly infinite commitments on my time and resources. It is a place of self-reflection, self-realization, and learning (I am a voracious learner).

Does this sound like you too? Join me on this journey. Weave your own golden thread.

Wishing you all things good, -Jules

How To Handle the Tough Times (How to Return to Your Golden Thread then, too)

So How Do I Handle the Tough Times?
You'll probably find that there are times when the "you" that is your core is lost again.  Our days can get so hectic, sometimes our core, our golden thread, seems irretreivable.  I've written a poem for just such difficult times.  It basically means look up at the sky and watch the clouds go by -- even if just for a minute -- to realign you with you, when things get tough. . . to take just a moment to remind yourself that you're still in there.  Anyway, hope it helps...

Wishing you all things good, - Jules




The Simple Things


Trees.
Water.
A sacred walk in the silvery light of early morning.

A quiet beach,
Feeling the ocean breathe in and out, tug and release, with each passing wave.
Lying on boulders warmed by the sun.

Cold, crisp mountain air,
Quenching -- like a drink of water.
The smell of baby lilacs in June, outside an open window.

Time spent alone, in quiet reflection.

At such moments, time falls away and there is just
You and the trees,
      You and the beach,
          You and the air,
And it is enough.

Take time for the simple things.
Seek comfort in them.
Ever-present and unwavering.

They are always there -- just waiting for you -- as you go through a difficult time.
