It was the story of two women
one was a
shelter
(or sanctuary)
for the
other.
The other was a
storm.
It reminds me of my
response
to the people, the world,
the environment,
around me..
Do I provide a
safe haven,
a gracious welcome,
words said in kindness,
a peaceful sanctuary?
Or
am I the
storm?
I know I have been both at times.
My goal
is
to intentionally
choose to be a
Sanctuary!
you and the many more who give me sanctuary
through your blogs. Thank you Dear Friends!
Katie

You have always been a place of joy and inspiration to me, so I guess that makes you the sanctuary. You are also allowed to be the storm, because that is what life is. The calm and the storm.
My blog doesn't appear to be on your sidebar and I would be honoured and grateful to be there!
Wishing you a peaceful weekend,
Jo

You're always a peaceful sanctuary for me. Even when I don't talk to you for long periods, I know you're there. I'm always thankful that you're my friend. Jan

Thanks for sharing that! It makes me think about whether I'm a storm or a sanctuary. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
I would certainly say in the time I've visited you, I've found sanctuary. But storm is allowed, sometimes needed! I hope to visit you long enough to discover not only the sanctuary but to discover that you are able to share the storm if need be or inspire and motivate by storm as well. Not all storms destroy -- some bring beauty and growth in their wake.
You're most definitely a sanctuary! I KNOW I can be a bit of a storm..... I guess it's an "ebb and flow" sort of thing with me. Maybe we need both for balance.
love you!

Katie, although I am a very recent "Ragpal" there is no doubt how I view your Blog. This is most definitely a place of sanctuary as there is such a peaceful quality to your Blog.

Your blog is always a sanctuary-- so positive and beautiful! Somehow, I can't imagine you ever being a storm!
Hi Katie,
beautiful post. I believe you are a sanctuary. Have a wonderful week.
Hugs,

Oh Katie...YOU have ALWAYS been a sanctuary to visit and drink in the loviness of your words and images and art. Truly I always feel like could dive into your site and be peacefully, blissfully happy for DAYS!!! I can not wait to be able to check out where you got that beautiful image of the 2 girls-( I love when you share ideas like that). Thank you for being the Sanctuary that you ARE!
Lovely post with beautiful photos; I strive to be sanctuary but I fear I'm sometimes the storm.

I love this post. The idea of it, the way it makes me think, and the heart behind it.
Beautifully said...and heart touched.
