When I think the letter B, I first think of beginnings. SARK has some wonderful things to say about this word. "Beginnings are brand new chances...let the buoyancy of the beginning carry you to new places". I took an online course, a self-discovery type class. We had to use a shoe box, on the outside make a self portrait. The inside images were meant to represent our foundation. I chose a bridge over the bay(where I am from). One woman, couldn't get over me using a bridge, " doesn't seem like a good foundation" she posted. I could see where she was coming from, shaky. But in reality, it was shaky. Life is fragile; I found that out at age 10. My Uncle died of Leukemia at 27, his wife 8 months pregnant; he never met his son. My Dad had his first heart attack,later that year. The bridge represented for me, connections, new paths, on another journey and emotions to be faced. I'm a Navy spouse and have moved 17 x in 27 yrs. There is a lot of change, moving onward, a bridge represents this for me. BUT isn't life a bridge. It is something we have to cross to reach another destination to explore new places, meet new people, as we build our lives.
We all have bridges to cross, some over troubled water and some for joy n' celebrations. Speaking of bridges, visit Jessica Bell and read more about her new book, "String Bridge" here is her book trailer.
She is singing a song, her Mom wrote...Amazing-oops wrong letter, Beautiful, that's better ;-D!
We continue to learn as we journey over our own bridges~ It reminds me of another word you will need on your journey. Believe in yourself and in magic! "I feel I've barely begun, I believe I'm capable of so much more"~SARK.
Don't forget to sign up for my Give away, you may need this dress to wear to that next event...the one the bridge will take you to ;-D

what a fun take on B.
I enjoyed the book trailer (we are recording the music for my book trailer tomorrow).
The song was beautiful!
This was so beautifully written. The truth in such purity.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Bridges are wonderful! They may be crossed, burned, avoided, torn down, reinforced, walked alone or with a friend. So much of life is all of those things, or none of them, depending on the circumstance and the person. Bridges to me represent possibilities, and most possibilities do not come with the promise of success, but with the opportunity for it. What we do with it is up to us. Great post.
