An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstances. The thread may stretch or tangle but will never break. – Chinese Proverb
A red string in Chinese folklore connects those who are destine to meet and in Tibetan Buddhism a red string is a “blessing cord” and according to the Kabbalah, the red string is for protection against negative forces. All of these meanings associated around the symbol of a crimson piece of string, whether tied between soul mates, around fingers or wrists, they all have one beautiful thing in common – hope.
Hope for love.
Hope for blessings.
Hope for safety.
With this hope and I will tie a red thread around my apple project – and hope for the love, blessings, and safety it contains while I finish the next few months. I have hope this virtual string watchs over me and protects me to reach my goal. Because – I put on a really good game face – but many days are difficult. I work to find a cure for this horrible disease and to end the suffering of millions of people in pain because I know what our days are like.
Until tomorrow.
Jenna

The inspiration for today’s apple and post came from the newly launched project The Brave Discussion. Thank you for the article they have included on their site about this project and the need for AS Awareness. A special thank you to Kathie Melocco.
Wow, I read the article that inspired today’s post and I thought myself proud and also honored to have you as a friend , although be it only virtually.
You should feel proud of yourself Jenna, for all of your truly inspiring Apples and posts.
Grateful for the red thread we share … ♥
I’m thinking of my red thread virtually tying me to you over the miles. I’m visualizing it wrapped around your project which is uplifting and beautiful. Kudos over and over.
