Inside each one of us is a unique fabric woven and designed specifically for you. Each thread, design, pattern, color and texture is a direct reflection of all the choices, opportunities, places, events and times of your life. And as each year goes by your quilt of humanity gets larger. This beautiful piece of fabric is such a work of art. Each color and thread and texture were chosen directly by you representing to you and the world the journey of your life. And this fabric you have designed is nothing short of breath taking just like your precious life. You were created by your almighty creator with such gifts that were meant to assist you in the design. So for each challenge, opportunity, accomplishment and endeavor there is a pattern on this fabric representing what each of these things meant to you. So take the time in your mind to spread out your fabric and look deeply at the different designs and colors and take pride in knowing you have created this. Cherish your growth, embrace your mistakes, smile at your beauty, and take pride in your accomplishments. Take peace in knowing whole heartily that your fabric and quilt is absolutely breath taking.
Never under any circumstance be jealous of someone else's fabric or get caught in the foolish thinking that someone else's fabric is prettier or nicer than yours. No two quilts could ever be the same. And if you really looked closely at the fabric of others you are sure to find all the hidden flaws and marks that every quilt has. No one has a flawless fabric, and no one should ever want one. Because it is from those flaws that we learn and grow. Change is inevitable and it provides us the opportunity to see how far we've grown. Flaws help to build our strengths and develop are character. So again in your minds eye spread out your quilt and look at that beautiful piece of art with nothing but an open heart. And please experience the joy of laughter with your flaws. And please take nothing short of pride in wearing your fabric proudly for this is the authentic you. Enjoy your life and have fun creating you work of art.
Namaste,
Lori Meadows
