Once upon a time, I was told that I couldn't do it. That I shouldn't dare. That the dream was too risky. That the risks too scary. The only people behind me were my three sons. And together, my three sons and I built a dream. Can you imagine building a dream with your sons? There are days I feel like the luckiest person alive. And that feeling has its roots in the darkest time in my life. How's that for something to think about on those dark days? Gold is found in that darkness. Gold that you don't even know exists. Hang on to that thought and come be part of our journey.

    "I am a woman built on the wreckage of myself."

    I'm curious as to your thoughts and conjured images when you read this quote....anyone?

    i'm mixed on it, ms. stitched. my first reaction is that i don't like it. go figure, huh? now, i am a bit blue right this minute, so maybe that's coloring my reaction? but i don't want to be built on wreckage....i want to be built on good stuff.
    and then i think about that.......and i gotta say.........the stuff that's really strong inside me has indeed been built on my wreckage.....
    out of the wreckage of one of life, another came forth. out of my beliefs crumbling, new ones have come to take their place.
    so as i sit with it all, i think it's dead on true. 
    i have a white tree visual, ya know? about a tree sprouting out among the ashes and wreckage...i guess i like that better......coming out from underneath it. (the wreckage)
    so why would that matter? the difference between 'underneath' and 'on' (like the quote has)
    why would that totally change it for me?? i'm not sure..........

    Not fond of Wreckage either...

    most of my broken bits are from the cinders of other peoples firestorms...

    I guess I'm the only one completely touched by the quote.  I don't mind the idea of building upon wreckage that's all me....doesn't bother me.  I kinda think of having exploded into millions of little balls of metal, shards of glass that fell upon one another.  Why not build all over again right on what was once me?

    Or maybe if we just simplify...the whole point is...no matter how we got to rubble, no matter if we dig out from it, sprout from under it, or stand on top of it....we rebuild our lives, heal our hearts, try to become whole again. 

    We are women.  Amazing women.
