I have just read a beautiful article written by TD Jakes that really caught my eye and I knew I just had to share this… It’s called, ‘Designer Original’.
“One of the things that makes high fashion designs so expensive is that they are one-of-a-kind creations. A woman who buys haute couture designs knows that she isn’t going to see her dress on any other woman.
Warning: this post contains very real and authentic emotions putting me in a vulnerable position. So if mushy love puke is not your thing – move on.
For those of you who don’t know me… I am VERY sentimental and symbolic! (I will find a metaphor in most things)
So when a very precious friend gave me a gorgeous pair of swallow earrings today, my metaphoric mind started churning. I have a love of little birds like Swallows and Robins(my middle name is Robyn). I think they are the sweetest little things. I especially love what they symbolise.
‘The exuberant joy of new things springs forth in former desert places.’
I am loving this sentence!
I find myself in a place of such peace and serenity with where I am at in life. Admittedly, life has thrown me some ugly curve balls, but I do believe that I have allowed them to be used to develop my character. I am now also equipped to help and encourage others who are enduring pain.
