This is the story of the journey of my life. Travel can be hard work. So much to see. So little time. So many missed connections. So much lost luggage. But every stop, every detour, every challenge along the way provides a lesson to be learned. Traveling mercies to us all.

"We can't be perfect...
but we can be whole."
That's what Melodee wrote in an email she sent to me earlier today.
Well said. Perfectly timed. A true word spoken to a woman in need of truth and wisdom and encouragement to release the urge for perfection.
Taken on as a new prayer and mantra and perhaps even a future tattoo.
Used as inspiration for a colorful journal page.
And a new mess on the dining room table.
Thanks, Melodee.
And thanks to you too, Jen, for your reminder of all that I deserve.

Ack! You're right....I LOVE IT!!!
Count me in for the tattoo :-)
And, yes, I adored that post from Jen's blog, too.
Wish I could be sitting, creating, meditating at that table with you.

wholeness is always more lovely than perfection...more approachable, more pure; complete.
perfection i think is saying that there is nothing lacking, wholeness is honoring that despite cracks/brokenness/tainted remnants, that there is still completeness.
and that's the invitation dear love that i want to join you in~
