Everything Tells a Story

This past Sunday it was a special day to honor Mother's and Motherhood; from our own Mothers, Grandmothers, etc to our Mother the Earth, and to our Grandmother the Moon. It was fitting some of my own family celebrated at a Jazz and Quilt brunch at the Pequot Meseum and Research center.
Along with the beautiful and soulfull music played by a jazz trio, an amazing trio of quilters shared their stories and craft and the meaning of quilting.
One message was that we should remember that everything tells a story; be it a quilt, a necklace, even the clothes we wear. Never miss an opportunity to tell a story to teach from the experiences of your life and the lives of those who came before you. I took it also to mean to go out and have experiences, to work on your craft and your skills so as to work on the story of your necklace , quilt, poem, or your 'job'.
As I tracker I know that our stories are constantly being told, whether we know it or not. So say 'yes' to the adventure of life and let your story be told.
