Weeds or Flowers?

Weeds or Flowers...what do you see?
What a great questions...it all depends on how you are looking at it or what time of year you are looking...right???

For me I always see flowers, who said that dandelions can't be flowers.  I know that they create a lot of seeds and spread all over...but if you really look at a dandelion you will see how truly beautiful and powerful they really are.

The color alone is amazing...who doesn't love butter yellow?  I just enjoy looking at a brand new crop of dandelions every spring; it is a freshness that just makes me happy knowing summer is on its way.  Not to mention dandelions help feed the bees.  It also helps feed us...we can eat the flowers along with the leaves if you haven't fertilized your lawn.  Think about it...

Here is something else to think about....no matter how we try to eliminate the dandelions from our yard they continue to power through and continue to let us know they are still there.  Is the dandelion a weed or it is a powerful flower that refuses to be plucked out of the garden of life.  

When we look at our own garden of life, what are we trying to pluck out?  Who is trying to pluck us out of our garden of life?  What are we saying to ourselves about the beautiful flowers that we have been growing?  Are we comparing our garden to someone else's garden?  What are we letting others tell us about our garden?  Is our garden not good enough, can it be better, could we have done a better job?  Think about what we say to ourselves and let others say to us....what are we saying to someone else?

It's time for us to tend to our own garden of life; if we want dandelions or any other flower that someone may consider a weed...it's our garden; we can have anything we want.  We have to remember we don't need the approval of another; we only need the approval from our own self.  

Let your dandelions grow, be proud of your garden...don't let anyone tell you any different.  YOU CAN HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT.

Enjoy your GARDEN!!!

What is going on with US?

Hello my friends...How are you all doing?  It has been forever and a day since I last blogged.  It's been a crazy time with changes going on in my life along with some crazy brain problems I am dealing with. It truly does amazing me how fast time flies and how we are already nearing the end of February.

My heart feels heavy with all the chaos that is going on in my own life along with all the chaos that is going on in the United States and around the world.  It seems that there is not a day that goes by that chaos isn't playing some sort of game in all of our lives.

Every time you turn on the computer, TV or even the radio all you hear about is death, protests and how the natural disasters are tearing our world apart.  Then when you look at your own life you try to keep your head up and pretend that chaos is not happening in our own lives; but when you look around chaos is everywhere.


What is truly amazing; it does not matter how much chaos is actually around us there is miracles happening all around.  We see it in the beautiful weather wear are enjoying, we see it in the miracle of the birth of a baby or an animal; we see it in the act of kindness or in a smile on a child's face.  We see miracles in the creations we paint, or build, or fix; along with the kindness we share with one another.   

I guess it takes a lot of chaos for us to come together and be kind and help each other.  If we just start to learn patience and start to listen and be kind to each other, we will start to live in a very different place.  I have not felt the inspiration to write in some time, but when I see the protesting that is going on every day, I just had to let go and write something that someone would read and maybe change their thought process.  

In reality we all want the exact same thing; so why not help each other get what we want.  In the process we are going to learn to love one another and get along.  Maybe then we will start to live in harmony and create the world we really want.

Be loving and kind to one another, also be safe....it's a scary time and we need to work on that together.

    I have been through a lot in my life just as everyone else; I have found that what I have gone through has always been for my highest good.  There is not a thing that I would change in my life; I would keep the good, the bad, and the ugly.

    Sharing my lessons with you helps me to be the best version of myself.  What I have learned, I share so you are the best version of yourself.  

    When we stand together we are strong and tall making a more confident and loving world.  We are forgiving our past and embracing all that is learned.  We then are teaching our children to be human and the best version of themselves.
