Threads: A journey into the picture of the soul

by Judith Cosby

Sunlight filtering through a stained-glass window and the gentle words of the priest’s sermon in her ear, a young Judith Cosby realized that life wasn’t just a random string of people and events. Instead, her eyes were opened to the existence of threads — mysterious and deliberate connections that weave the unique and brilliant tapestry of an individual’s life. As a daughter, wife, and mother, Judith recognizes all the wonderful moments that abound in her daily life. She faces the difficulties of illness and death, but with the awareness that every connection and interaction has a purpose. Her spirit pulses with resounding strength, fortitude, and a belief that challenges are placed before us not to crush, but to empower. THREADS is a masterful memoir of a journey of self-awareness inspired by a promise Judith made to her thirteen-year-old self. Full of a love of life and strong spiritual belief, she embraces all of life’s lessons, each represented by a specific thread. Using humor and candor, her stories are filled with messages of faith, hope and love. THREADS shares the personal threads of one woman’s life, in hopes that others will begin to see the glorious weave of their own life. Within this blank cloth of infinite possibilities may they realize the power they have to stitch the essence they want into existence.

Judith Cosby's THREADS is a book that you will want to revisit time and again. It is a beautifully written collection of personal stories that illustrate the idea that we all have our own unique tapestries, and that our life experiences create the threads that run through them. You can tell that this book was a labor of love for the author. She shares her experiences in such a way that you feel as though you were right there with her when they happened. The themes contained in this book are universal and will speak to all different types of readers. It would make a wonderful gift for those you love in your life. I have no doubt they will cherish it, as I do.

I love this inspirational book/memoir that offers thoughtful reasons for everyday occurrences that all weave into the threads of the tapestry of our lives. The smallest events are significant and are all a part of our lives, our tapestry...this is the kind of book you can pick up, open to any chapter and read and be inspired to start a new day of threads. I love this book for it's thoughtful introspection and it helps me to think, oh that makes sense, everything happens for a reason, and to try to live my life as a better person. This book has become a part of my daily morning ritual.

Beautifully written!

I loved this book, and the concept of the "threads" to our own tapestries, our own lives. Every chapter bright back memories of growing up in the '60s and 70s, then of my own adult life. I loved it so much that I bought two more copies to give as gifts! Looking forward to reading more from Judith Cosby!
