maybe you wondered....

when i changed my blog to "moredoors" it was due to the fact that i wanted to embrace all the doors in my life that had opened for me. mostly those doors had been attached to new houses, in new neighborhoods, in new states, after 13 moves in 21 years.
~
but often, doors aren't real doors with doorknobs and welcome mats and pretty flowers growing in a planter under the doorbell. instead, sometimes doors are new experiences that lead you down a path towards a dream you weren't expecting. or sometimes you've worked for years to open "that door" and finally you find yourself on the other side.
~
you're heard the saying "you've had so many doors open for you" or "i hope this job opens the door for you to go onto bigger and better things"
~
so today, thinking about doors and some new things i'm working on, i hope that all of you find a door that opens for you in a surprising way or that a beautiful~ornate~vintage~glass knobbed door with years of love, swings wide open and welcomes you with open arms after you've been through blood, sweat and tears to get there.
~
happy weekend

  13. I've always thought of life as opening doors. When one door shuts a new one opens.

    Enjoy your weekend Beth.

  15. Doors are a wonderful symbol of life and the journey. Tonight we went out to dinner and an antique shop nearby was open late and having a sale. We weren't planning to buy, but being open the windows we need to help us finish our greenhouse were sitting right there and on sale. But the best part, the dealer was someone I worked with 25 years ago and the connection to the creative spirit was the topic we reunited with. Yes, being willing to be open is a wonderful thing.

  16. In the early years of our marriage, we moved often from state to state and I remember feeling so sad when it was time to close the door to our home for the last time. By the time we made our way to the new house, I was ready to open the door and make it into a home.
