Today, a lady shared with me how she once loved embroidery, but after a stroke affected the vision in one of her eyes, she had to find another way to continue creating. She now crochets these beautiful little turtle hatchlings and I have to agree, they are truly special.
She unexpectedly gifted one to me, never knowing that I had started my morning with a lot on my mind. Her kindness, her story and this tiny turtle brought a bright spot to my day at exactly the right time.
Hatchling turtles are often associated with new beginnings, resilience, protection and continuing forward. With that in mind, this little one has officially become my guardian turtle a sweet reminder that the smallest gestures can sometimes make the greatest impression.
In fact, this kind gesture had me in tears this morning. Not because of the tree issue, but she gifted from her heart and had no idea how she stitched my heart today.
