Happy International Women/s day!! Today is that day so hopefully you’ve all celebrated with a great woman that you know. Perhaps she’s kind, generous, strong, loving, beautiful and independent. Whatever quality it is in that human being take a moment to say you’re awesome.
Often the world races forward and we don’t take the time to say thank you, and/or point out the positive in that other person. I started trying to focus on this action years ago but life only too many times can take us in other directions. Slowing down is key to putting important things into the forefront of our minds until they become a part of who you are — admittedly I’m working on this still.
Today luck, fortune and a moment came into play and the stars aligned to recognize a few of the great woman who have helped with the Park art project in “Piece flags”.
This is just the beginning and the names that have been completed are Wendy, Connie, Caroline, Suelina, Katie, Maux, Evelyn, and Carlyn so far. It’s been an honour to stitch by stitch complete these women’s names.
I am so grateful for each ones generosity of spirit to be involved with the abOUT damn spot and Connecting Threads art project on the fence at Strathcona Park. Here are a few words to represent them: Kind, Strong, Determined, Enthusiastic, Supportive, Powerful and Inspiring.
Sending the love!!
