Sue Williams on Golden Threads: Women’s Shared Wisdom from the Tapestry of Life

Are you a woman in midlife who sometimes finds herself thinking,
“Surely, there must be more to life than this?”

That’s why I’m so excited about Golden Threads: Women’s Shared Wisdom from the Tapestry of Life – and the wider collection of collaborative books on self-belief I’ve brought together for women at this stage of life.
Golden Threads weaves together the real, lived stories of women who have faced change, challenge and transition – and have grown in insight, confidence and self-understanding. Their experiences are honest, relatable and deeply human.

So many women reach midlife searching for meaning, wanting reassurance that their experiences count, and that their story still matters.
This book gently challenges the myth that the best years are behind you. Each story reveals a golden thread of wisdom, showing that nothing has been wasted and that every chapter has helped shape who you are today.

• your wisdom deserves to be honoured

If you find yourself reflecting on your life and wondering what comes next, this book – and my Believe You Can collaborative collections – are an invitation to pause, feel seen, and view your own journey with fresh appreciation.

THE DIVINE TAPESTRY OF LIFE

We are integral threads in the divine tapestry of life
Golden threads of humanity; intricately interwoven,
Entwining vibrant joy with the dull, distant ache of despair;
The heavy heartache of letting go.
Tinged with subtle streaks of sadness,
Stitched through with yearning, allusion of something more:
Magical beyond the realms of pure imagination,
Yet hanging calmly, peaceful, timeless, upon the wall.
