This morning I was awakened by 70 degree weather. Spring is unofficially making its arrival! It's been a long time coming and my weary spirit is already gaining strength from the sun. I have to admit I've been struggling with the process of creating "A Woven Life". Daily obligations and routines have a way of sneaking up on you and attempting to decide what your life should look like. Times like these are when we must stand taller and stronger and refuse to let our lives be created for us. Only we know what our truth is and it's our right and responsibility to ourselves and the universe to go within, realize and actualize that truth. As I get older, or shall I say wiser, I am understanding that life is never set in stone. In order for us to become who we are meant to be, we can take notes from mother nature and begin shedding the parts of ourselves that no longer fit who we are. By doing this, we make room to grow into our best self.
A couple of months ago, I decided to put together a support group in honor of these ideals. The group consists of roughly 13 amazing women. To date we have had two successful meetings! It is our sacred space where we create our ideal life goal by goal. We discuss our fears, aspirations and come together to strengthen one another through tears, laughter and words of encouragement.
Little Syara creating visions.
Last month we began creating our vision boards which represent all of the elements that make up our ideal life.

I encourage you to start creating your own. To make your vision board, you will need old magazines, pictures, embellishments, glitter, stamps, glue, scissors etc. It's like starting with a clean slate. You can make your life be anything you'd like! We would love to feature your vision board on A Woven Life. Email us a jpg. of yours at
