FLOWER QUOTE: NO MATTER HOW CHAOTIC IT IS

January 20, 2020

matter how chaotic

MY TWO CENTS No matter how chaotic it is, wildflowers will still spring up in the middle of nowhere… Life often feels chaotic to me.

It reminds me that there is so much more to life than getting caught up in the chaos of it. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Sheryl Crow is...

December 09, 2019

it's not about your presents

MY TWO CENTS It’s not about your presents, but it is about your presence. Therein lies the spirit of the holiday season... How quickly I can get caught up in the gift giving and the holiday season and forget to be here and present. It’s an exciting time of the year, but I don’t want to get lost in the hustle and bustle. I want to be in the moment and be present with those I’m celebrating...

FLOWER QUOTE: BEGIN WHAT YOU CAN DO

November 11, 2019

Begin what you can do

MY TWO CENTS Begin what you can do, or dream you can do. Boldness has genius, strength, and magic in it… I find it hard to go after what I’m dream about. My “monkey” brain works hard to defeat me. So, I appreciate Goethe pushing me along and encouraging me to begin, as beginning is the most important part to fulfill any dream, and often the hardest part. So stay true to what you are passi...

FLOWER QUOTE: LET US DECIDE

October 28, 2019

Let Us Decide

MY TWO CENTS Let us decide on the route that we wish to take to pass our life, and attempt to sow that route with flowers… The first part is the contemplative part; the part that is about choosing what kind of person you want to be and what kind of life you want to live. It takes thought, effort and work. It means not living day to day, but consciously making a choice on who you want to be, so ...

FLOWER QUOTE: EVERY FLOWER BLOOMS

October 14, 2019

Every flower blooms at a different pace.

MY TWO CENTS Every flower blooms at a different pace… What a true and lovely quote. As it is for flower, so it is the same for us. Each of us blooms and grows at different rates. Every part of the process takes effort and work: blooming and growing. With blooming there is the work of gathering the nutrition and the knowledge to bloom, but it makes a fuller life. Then sometimes it’s nice to so...

FLOWER QUOTE: CREATIVITY LIES IN PARADOX

September 09, 2019

Creativity lies in paradox

MY TWO CENTS Creativity lies in paradox: serious art is born from serious play… This is something that Julia Cameron writes about in her book, The Artist's Way, and the necessity to play in order to create. Often, I forget to play, but I’m glad to be reminded to take the time to do so along with nurturing myself. Then the real art will come. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Julia Cameron (b. March 4, 194...
