Julie presented this great idea after reading a recent blog about making a Surrender Box.
Divine
inspiration was responsible for our box design. It was very important to me
that it be representative and mindfully done. So I went to Home Goods and
searched for the right box to use- made sure I checked every nook and cranny.
Low and behold, one box left in the perfect size with the words "Believe in
Yourself" on it! Seriously!
I texted
my BFF, Monica, who is an artist and wrote " I've got a fun project for us!" So
in her craft room, we collaborated and created the
following:
Top of the
lid-
- the
words " I choose to let go..."
in a
pretty, flowing font.
-print it
on lined tablet note paper
- burn the
edges as we plan to ceremonially burn our "surrenders"
-affix a
butterfly as a metaphor for releasing it to God, the universe as well as our
"metamorphosis" to inner beauty and spiritual growth.
- affix
the word "surrender" to flank the sides of the lid - bolstering and framing our
message on top, representing our commitment and fortitude.
- then we
put clear coat in it to stick and seal it together for strength and durability
.....just like we, as a tribe derive our strength from being cohesive and sealed
in our love for each other.
That's
what went into making this box. So let's fill it up!
