Greetings!

I’m Barbara J. Faison, Your Meditation Ambassador, and if you are new here, welcome! In January I started a weekly newsletter which also serves as a blog post on my website, barbarafaison.com and the audio is my podcast called the Why Struggle podcast with Barbara J. Faison. So weekly you can read or listen. My intention is to offer ideas, insights and inspirations to help you struggle less and enjoy life more. However you might be engaging with me, I am grateful for you listening and/or reading!

Take a moment to imagine a deck on a house on the beach; the golden sunlight is shining, the vivid turquoise water is next to white sand. The white deck of the house is overflowing with vibrant fuchsia, purple and yellow flowers and palm trees. The sky looks like a mixture of pink and blue cotton candy swirled together.

I think of our world as a cosmic jigsaw puzzle and we are here to find where we fit in the puzzle. Are you a piece of the sky, the water, the flowers? Our life experiences help us discover our T.A.G.S. - Talents, Abilities, Gifts, and Skills. Each moment is purposeful. Nothing is wasted in life. Take each moment for what it is and your experiences will help you discover and uncover your T.A.G.S.

Last week I saw a friend of mine I met in a writer’s group back in the 1990’s. I seem to be saying that a lot these days. Lol. Ade and I speak and text each other regularly so we didn’t feel like it had been 11 years since we had actually seen each other in person. She was in town so we had a great time together over a few days.

Wednesday evening we enjoyed a delicious meal of Indian food at Planet Bombay where we had exceptional customer service! Thursday morning we went to one of my favs, the Flying Biscuit.

I love having conversations and discovering new things about my friends.

Ade is an artist… an author… a writer…a creative.

She creates handmade cards, repurposed jewelry and has published three books.
In her own words…

“I see the world through a window of words....wonderful wandering words..

I write because it is who I am; how I am.

My writing is the voice of my soul.”

I hope you will take a moment to see her work at peacepaperproductions.com.

In my twenties and thirties, I thought life was all about self discovery. I believe we are constantly learning, evolving and growing. For me, life is all about self creation. One of my tags is doing what I’m doing here, writing and sharing my life.

Where do you want to fit in the cosmic jigsaw puzzle? The water, the trees, the flowers?

What are your T.A.G.S. and how are you sharing them with the world? I’d love to know, you may reply to this newsletter or you can reach me at [e-mail]. If social media is easier for you to reach out, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn are best.
