Book excerpt: Tapestries uncovers the unique patterns that you weave throughout life. At a time of immense interest in biography, here is a unique set of keys to understanding the pattern and rhythms of your life. The unfolding phases of life are presented as the 'warp' of personal growth. You are invited to consider the 'shuttle' of the threads you use as the 'weft' of your life story. These threads include your temperament, gender, love, family, ethnicity, birth order, and developing relationships. A vivid picture of adult growth is presented. You can follow twelve very different people and their stories as they go through each life phase and wonder what will happen next. You can consider how you would respond to the choices they face. Life's dilemmas are explored: career versus parenting and choices related to old age. This opens up options: which roads to take in life and encouragement to reflect.

Book excerpt: An East-coast socialite embarks on a journey to the Wild West, and her life will never be the same. A setting populated by hundreds of laborers, outlaws, and Indians is hardly the place for a wealthy general's daughter from the nation's capital. But Josephine Cain is determined to accompany her father as he oversees the day-to-day work involved in the grandest ambition of post-Civil War America: the building of the Transcontinental Railroad. Life with the railroad is far from the proper life Josephine is used to, and she faces deadly gunfights, harsh weather, and vigilante uprisings. She is torn between West and the East; between her privileged upbringing and the dangers of a new frontier; between the pull of the suitable beau her parents approve of and an attraction to a rough but charming Irish railroad worker. But if Josephine is willing, she just might find a new life, a unique purpose. . . and true love.

Book excerpt: A Tapestry of Life is the true story of a woman who, in her quest to fulfill her dreams and have the family that she had always imagined, struggled with pain, disillusionment and heartbreak but came through it with an understanding of the rich beauty of life. Like many young girls growing up in the 1950's and 1960's, Daphne had dreams of growing up, getting married and having a family. She had well-organized plans for her future. She did not have any concept of the roadblocks that she would encounter or the challenges that she would have to meet as she journeyed toward this goal. Through a diagnosis of infertility and decisions about fertility treatments, to pursuit of adoption, to marrying and acquiring step children, to eventually achieving a pregnancy and then to gaining a daughter through an informal foster care situation she eventually created her eclectic family. Despite her dreams of having children who transitioned easily into adulthood, her children each seemed to have some struggle to overcome. The family faced challenges including developmental disabilities, cancer, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, anorexia, bi-polar disorder and teen pregnancy. Over the years Daphne learned a lot and grew stronger. This is a story about perseverance and finding peace in the unpredictable nature of this life. The author's faith matured through the challenges and struggles and became the foundation on which her family developed. She found that with faith she did not need all the answers and she did not need to know the future. She learned that the path is not always clear but we can still enjoy the journey.

Then tragedy strikes, and she is forced to make a decision that will take Thaddeus far from death and herself far from home.

Download or read book Tapestry written by Aireal Seas and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tapestry: The Child Within is a collection of experiences, stories, and lessons as seen through the eyes of the woman who holds this memory of her childhood inside. Therefore, this is not a chronological order of events, but more the woman finding ways to embrace wholeness inside her changing world and path to wellness. Who we are and what we become is not about what is done to us, but more about how we use our life experiences and focus to see our own hearts. Perceptions can teach us there are different sides to the same picture we hold in our minds eye. To change our world, we need but change how we perceive our world. As we keep in mind that no matter how sincere a perception is, that perception can be sincerely wrong. As we stretch our understanding without lingering, or getting attached to the fears within us, we can become whole and well, as a new innocence and strength takes root within our souls light. Tucked in these pages, as if this book was a box of puzzle pieces, you will find many thoughts, memories, parts of a story, and pieces of truths that sometimes seem like they have no connection. But much like clothes hung on a clothesline or birds sitting on a wire, there is one constant connection. That connection is how to be well, and how to heal from within. You will find pieces and parts that may touch your heart. May you also find the connection within your own memories, childhood, heart, and soul come together on your own path to defining what healing and being well means to you. As you face your own truths in the light of the sacredness of life, I hope you will be well. When in doubt, I trust you may step back and see the bigger picture and just how amazing and wonderful you and your story are.
