~ Possibilities ~

" How does one become a butterfly?" she asked pensively.

"You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar".

While walking or should I say skipping...with my husband yesterday afternoon.
He admired how I am really moving forward in my life

with intent.

  I have had to take care of  few things emotionally

 to do so.

Made peace with the past

not look back

and leap forward.

I landed where I need too.

amongst fiber and all this yarn.

Born a "sheep" in the Chinese astrology

fiber runs thru my blood.

I guess putting things aside

that I was not

or aspired to become that wasn't " me".

I created room and space for something I am.

It was there all the time.

Reading Marianne Williamson many moons ago, she wrote of a man who lived in Kauai, Hawaii-

he knew the coastline of that beautiful Island better than anyone, every little nook and cranny.

 People would ask if they could go with him on his skiff...so he could show them.

This knowledge and hobby eventually turned into a full time business for him.

He now has a fleet of zodiacs and gives tours to visiting tourists.

This always stuck with me....it was meant to be.

His expertise became his lifetime work.

I am so grateful to do something I love...after all these years of searching.

Lately there has been some really fun changes.

I have a new logo-

I adore the flower.

it symbolizes growth...how it opens and blooms.

a Magnolia

or then again

it could be a Lotus Blossom

which has spiritual meaning for me.

Either way, it just fits.

Magnolia Hnadspun has also found a new home...

" My sisters knits"

a yarn store  in Fort Collins, Colorado.

I have been asked to contribute to a " yarn, & spinning " book

that is being written and published in U.K.

So why am I writing this...?

I wish I would have started sooner

thrown caution to wind

-let go of my fear of failure

...and not have listened to a certain someone

and a few somebodies that really messed up my life.

If you are thinking of taking the leap in what ever your passion might be,

I encourage you.

Do it.

Own it.

It's hard work every day

 it's worth ever second of it.

Don't wait.

 If you are lucky enough to have something that found you...then grab hold of it and jump!

Where you land is totally up to you!

Endless possibilities out there are waiting for you.

 you'll be skipping.

Promise.
