In addition to what I want to convey on this bright, beautiful, sunny Thanksgiving Day concerning gratefulness (as well as thoughts left unfinished in previous posts), today’s train of thought rises above all else:
I’ve been enjoying a most intriguing novel, the theme of which seems evident within the two quotes below, followed by my intuitive thought for today—
Hester
By Laurie Lico Albanese
Main theme (to my way of thinking):
“I saw the words in your work, Mercy—the very first day. You have magic in your hands.”
She shakes her head, even as I describe the S and F linked together. (Safe)
“Not magic,” she says. “I told you before: if you think you’ve got power, then you got power. And if you think you don’t, then you don’t. That’s how you made those letters in the yellow cloth that saved us.” (Run)
“Keep your powers hidden and use them when it’s your time. Mam could not have known where my life would take me, but she understood that every woman will face peril and hardship—and that it’s best if we keep our strengths and skills close and strong. That way, when we need them, they are powerful enough to carry us to a new beginning.”
My take away:
The compound of logic (made of knowledge and experience) and the magic of the mind (made of intuition, and creativity) will take you where you don’t even know that you have need to grow beyond whomsoever you have come to be, thus far, today. However, all of the above lays fallow within a brain that fears mustering the courage to break the mold within which you were poured during childhood so as to take a first leap of faith followed by many more as you choose to mindfully piece together the whole, self empowered adult you were born to become.
Today and everyday I give thanks for love, friendship and personal growth as well as so much more than I can state simply in words.
With hopes that your Thanksgiving tradition is bountiful, delicious and enjoyed with loved ones eager to gather together from both near and far,
Your forever friend,
🙋🏻♀️🥰🍀Annie
