FLOWER QUOTE: WHAT I LOVE MOST

June 25, 2018

Flower Quote | What I Love Most

MY TWO CENTS What I love most about this crazy life is the adventure of it… I love adventure and at the same time, I know I don’t have enough of it in my life. Sometimes it’s lack of time, other times it’s lack of effort. And then there is the ease of living vicariously through the lens of others through social media, and let’s face it - that is not true adventure. Adventure doesn’...

IN THE MIDST OF THE FOG

In the Midst of the Fog

In the midst of the fog is where this adventure began. As I write about it I’m finding I’m getting emotional about it, but not because it was a scary adventure or one with lots of risks.

The gardens make me look around and take in all of the breathtaking beauty they give all summer long. The second part...

FLOWER QUOTE: LIFE IS NOT MEASURED

June 11, 2018

MY TWO CENTS Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away… As I mentioned in my blooming blog, where does the time go? It goes too fast, but this quote reminds me that as quick as it goes, I have a choice. I can choose between life moving too fast or slowing down to notice the amazing world and people around me. And then I will find those m...
