Welcome to A Little HerStory

This is that listless time between Christmas and New Years. We are eating left overs and not really knowing what day it is, or perhaps even caring. It is a strange time.

A short post this morning. Times are challenging but life can still be sweet. Find the sweetness in your day today. Stay well, be safe and find joy today and weave yourself a beautiful day. In and out. Up and down. Over and over. She wove the strands of her life together. Patching hole after hole. Eventually she saw it was much more than the threads that gave her strength, it was in the very act of weaving itself, that she became strong. ~ Terri St. Cloud Art by Jo Jayson
