We are in our “Band-Aid” era in the Bromley Carpenter Household.  Everything and everyone needs a band-aid in my kid’s eyes. Oh what wondrous power band-aids have to decorate and to heal.  I have lost track of the number of times I have had to ask when she requests a band-aid …. “Are you bleeding?  Band-Aids are for blood.”

Band-aids can do a great job of giving a wound time to do the work of healing without interruption.  What areas of your life could use a metaphorical band-aid.  A spot to rest?  A spot away from the hustle and bustle of this world?  A bit of cushion between you and everything that bombards up against us on a given day? 

What color would it be? 

Would it have stars or hearts on it? 

How long would it’s staying power be? 

As we explore the theme of healing this month, I give you a metaphorical bandaid to decorate, to name what it’s for. To help you be present to what you need. And a wish for you, that when it’s time to not need that bandaid anymore, that you remember the strength you’ve built and the healing helpers around you.
