Stories Collected While Living in France
Untie that which holds you back. Let go of the reins, allow the loose ends to dance in the wind. Follow the thread that seems unlikely to lead anywhere. Knots are bows, think outside the box, let the weeds grow. Invite yourself to unwind, unravel and not brush your hair. Why not?

Love you Sugar Plum.
Love is the tie that holds all of our hearts together.
Love is all you need.
God bless you and yours real good.
Love Jeanne
Ah yes. I plan to do lots of this in 2007! Happy New Year, dear Corey.
This is so appropriate whilst contemplating dreams and wishes for the coming new year, I guess that also includes tying up the loose ends.
Working in very hot weather, in the garden. After three hours, I laid aside ‘the reins’ and lay on a garden bench and looked at the trees, just looked.
This message really speaks to me. I am constantly trying to undo knots, to open myself up to everything new and untried. I hate it when those knots have gotten wet and are sooo hard to untie!
The perfect message and reminder for how to approach an New Year. Its amazing where life does take you when you let it just go with the flow…
Beautiful picture, as well. I’m fascinated by the lovely, colorful pattern. Wow.
Untie that which holds you back – what a liberating thought! Happy New year, TICA. I’ve so enjoyed your posts. You don’t unravel so much as untangle, and that’s a good thing 🙂
Perfect words, perfect timing! Thanks, thanks and ever thanks!
l.i.b.e.r.a.t.i.o.n!
This is yet another reason why I love your blog! Ahhhh….. Here’s to a brightly beribboned 2007 !!!May we unwrap delights all YEAR long! Love and Peace!
A good New Year’s resolution, put only the way you can! Exactly: “knots as bows”; thank you for your poetry.
this thought, of loosening up and letting things dance in the wind is one i will carry with me throughout the day… i think it will be a very enjoyable day indeed! thanks as always for your gentle and sage advice.
Corey, thank you for this. Read my post today which I finished and then found this. It’s all about unwinding, unraveling, being free.
Beautiful pattern on the hatbox.
“Let go of the reins, allow the loose ends to dance in the wind.” … allow yourself not to drift, but to discover. Embrace the unexpected and try one new thing each day, surprise the OLD you..”she” will will be delighted..!Feliz Ano Novo !!
Happy New Year, Corey, to you and yours! Blessings to you in 2007.
My knots were once
bows – so you may have a
point.
🙂 hugs:)
I just read the article in cloth paper scissors. Just like every post – I loved it. Have a wonderful new year.
I am doing more and more of this…I think my family and friends think I have lost the plot! I don’t care…fredom!
oops…freedom, LOL
Bonne Annee, Corey! Thank you for these lovely words! I will do my best for the new year- and thank you for reminding me that knots are bows, too!
Some knots need to be untied, and some knots need to be strengthened.
xoxo
Have a Happy New Year, Corey.
Wouldn’t that pattern make a lovely tattoo. MMMM
Buon Anno Corey!
Perfect advice for today!
