I RETURNED FROM WORK LAST EVENING HUNGRY AND INSPIRED.
I downed six meals, then picked up one of my favorite books, Learning to Love You More. I bought it last year at a Zandbroz store in downtown Fargo, and have skimmed through it once or twice, never quite taking the measures to make a project.
That changed last night. I picked up the book and leafed through the assignments, one by one until I found something that made me feel good.
Assignment #63: Make an encouraging banner.
I scraped together all of my paper Kinko’s bags (it’s the beginning of the year and my collection of supplies is sparse) and strung them along some old wire. The creation found a nice spot overhanging my bed — and the very first thing I see when I walk in the room.
My banner says “You will find it!” though I can’t give myself credit for this phrase. It’s actually a banner that a woman in Poland made, and there’s a photo of it in the book. It’s such an appropriate mantra for our lives, I believe, and mine in particular. Right now I am at a point in my life where things couldn’t be more confusing or frustrating. I don’t know what I want, and that which I do know, I don’t know how to reach it. I am constantly seeking companionship, happiness, peace, and harmony. I am seeking relaxation and friendship. I am seeking acceptance and merit. I am seeking love, prosperity, success. I am seeking myself!
This banner is just what I need right now, and it’s a blessing to have it hanging right there, in plain view, to see each and every day. Thank you to a woman in Poland for reminding me of what I am looking for and instilling the assurance that I will, indeed, find it someday!
love.
