Tapestry

The metaphorical meaning is "Figuratively, a tapestry refers to an intricate, interconnected combination of various diverse elements, events, or people that form a single, meaningful picture." I feel as if my life has taken on that hue.......and I am watching as new pieces of my tapestry are snapping into place.......and I have spoken before about my feeling like I walk the fringe in certain places, and always have, and walked in other places that feel like home.......I am a Taurus Sun, Leo Moon, and Aquarius rising, and it is my Aquarius rising that walks that fringe.....the road less traveled if you will, she craves freedom, thinking outside the box, coloring outside the lines......and I have expressed before that that signature helps me understand myself better, but it also is in deep contrast with my homey Taurus Sun that craves consistency, and routine, and home, and fabrics, and tradition, and love, and beauty, and good food lol, and then my fierce, fiery and protective Leo Moon steps forward who is fiercely protective of the ones she loves and wants the same......but then there is my Aquarius rising who wants to get a tattoo, have a nose ring, live in unconventional ways, chase innovation, be direct, working around systems to create her own........you get the idea lol:) And while I identify mostly with my Taurus in my day to day I am finding as my Aquarius is being energetically squeezed if you will, and will be for the next 20 years, that part of me is stepping forward more.......and so I say all of that to say that I added to the tapestry that is me and my life last night, and got my Phoenix tattoo:):)........it was a call that found my heart while scrolling one day......I saw a soft line drawing on a t shirt.....and then looked some up and fell in love with the design.......and then tweaked it some and added the " I Got You GIRL' lettering and I am in love......the tattoo artist worked on the Phoenix face, the one Chat conjured up was a little intense angry feeling, masculine and she felt that too.....so the face she created was feminine and wise.....the vibe I was seeking......and this morning has me feeling total satisfaction.....and love for it......she did a beautiful job, she was a graphic designer who left that profession to use her artistic talent on her terms........and I guess I am learning to own my unconventional ways in a more embodied way if that makes sense? I realize that I am off beat in a way that I haven't always fully seen......my house being beautiful, but eclectic in every way......unique pieces that hold beauty, but also speak to the individuality that is me adorn my space.....and so maybe this morning is an expression of owning that more fully.....not shying away from it.....or understanding that I already AM.....and realizing that as this journey continues to unfold there will be other things, and pieces that will join the tapestry of my life, and I will continue to answer the call of my soul now......letting it lead the way......the satisfaction of feeling like me so fully now more than ever feels like home......and maybe as I type that it is the fact that all of my places are integrating finally.....the Taurus, the Leo, and the Aquarius....finding her way in harmony with one another.......all of her......suddenly not separate......not misunderstood, not disjointed, but working with one another even though they are so different......and it feels really satisfying and calming.......and maybe I am not articulating it all well......even though if you know me I will try;-)

Taurus says " I want peace, beauty and stability, and a life that feels rooted"

Leo Says" I want to create, inspire, and lead with my whole heart."

Aquarius says" I refuse to become somebody else's version of acceptable."

And together they are shaping up to be ME:)

And it has taken me 50 years to live a life that is my own.....and one with my best interest at heart......and one that feels like me, and so I suppose it feels like getting a new house, and running from room to room with childlike excitement and with the overall feeling that this is all mine:) And I AM HOME:) Happy Friday! Enjoy:) xoxox
