reminders

 She gets me. Do you have that special someone in your life that builds you up, reminds you of all the goodness inside you and awaiting you? Oh how I hope you do. Those irreplaceable members of your tribe that stand with you side by side, through all ups, downs and in betweens. Life has felt a little uncertain lately. We all have those times, those times when things weigh on our hearts and dampen our creative spark. 'All will be well', I remind myself, again and again. Then the mail arrives, and tucked in an envelope amongst a few funny magazine clippings and handwritten notes, was this tiny tag. A token of her morning tea no doubt, but she saved it just for me and added a little extra love to seal the deal. How did she know? But of course she knew, she just does. Someone else might think it silly, not me, it was just the thing I needed. I tucked this little tag on my bedroom mirror right under this sticker.

Some days you just need a little reminder. I AM limitless, and just in case you forgot, so are you.

Have you found a message you needed in your tea, at your feet, or embodied in a token?

Do share it with us today.

Oh yes, have I ever - also in my tea: "We always can start again."

Last week when we had Chinese takeout, I got a fortune cookie with no fortune in it. I've never had that happen before. I usually love reading those and I like to save my favorite ones. This time I decided it meant I that get to make my own destiny. :)

I posted this photo (http://www.flickr.com/photos/25748965@N00/4312539343/in/photostream) on Flickr two years ago this month ... and I'm still trying to learn the lesson conveyed by my tea that day! I keep finding myself in the same spot with regard to my work; still working on it. But a great message nonetheless.

I love tea bag wisdom!
I have been in the habit of buying cards for myself that inspire me, like this one:

it is great fortune to have a few good friends to be our magic looking glass,
to see us through the kinder eyes we cast on those we love, but so rarely train on ourselves.

I am not at all surprised that you have many, dear k - xo

So sweet! As I was walking downtown today, I saw a small, hand-painted wooden sign propped up against a pole on the corner of the street. It admonished me: "Love".
