I have been immersed in that discussion in my own mind and with friends alot lately. Still no conclusion, but I am mostly enjoying the outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, I had been waist deep (or maybe higher:) in wonder about the ways in which I deflect the generosity of\u00a0 the people in my life, with feelings of unworthiness or self doubt and then along comes Amanda Owens&#8217; book <em><strong>The Power of Receiving<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 that I reviewed for the Bliss Blog. The further I immersed myself in the pages, the more nods of uh huh. I so often have forgotten to create a healthy relationship with my dreams and visions for myself, instead, treating them like unwelcome visitors at my door, even though I have invited them to knock. I am ab-soul-utely certain that her book was a direct answer to my beckoning questions.<\/p>\n<p>Something I recall hearing many years ago that when an oriental rug is created, one thread is left undone, so as to remind us that nothing is perfect and is always a work in progress.<\/p>\n<p>What colors, fabrics, threads and textures embellish your life-tapestry?<\/p>\n<p>Tommy Emmanuel&#8217;s cover of Tapestry<\/p>\n<p><cite><a href=\"http:\/\/www.we7.com\/song\/Tommy-Emmanuel\/Tapestry\">www.we7.com\/song\/<strong>Tommy<\/strong>&#8211;<strong>Emmanuel<\/strong>\/<strong>Tapestry<\/strong><\/a> <\/cite><\/p>\n<p><cite>and then Carole King&#8217;s original timeless version<\/cite><\/p>\n<p><cite><a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/dCknCnB77XA\">http:\/\/youtu.be\/dCknCnB77XA<\/a>\u00a0<\/cite><\/p>\n<p><cite><\/cite><\/p>\n<p><cite><\/cite><\/p>\n<p><cite><\/cite><\/p>\n<p><cite><\/cite><\/p>\n<p><cite><\/cite><\/p>\n<p><cite><\/cite><\/p>\n<p><cite><\/cite><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On a sun streaming in through my window\u00a0Saturday morning, before\u00a0typing this blog, I asked for a bit of inspiration, since there are so many fascinating things about which to write.
