September 03, 2018
MY TWO CENTS Rest and be thankful…What a simple, but very meaningful quote. It says so much with so few words. With today being Labor Day here in the United States and Canada, it says exactly what we should be doing today: resting. It is a day to be thankful for both the work we have and gives us a day to relax; a day to rejuvenate and be grateful. ABOUT THE AUTHOR William Wordsworth’s (A...

August 27, 2018
MY TWO CENTS A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust… Flowers and Gardens have taught me many things: patience, understanding, vulnerability and strength, to name a few. They are the teacher I would have never imagined during my school years, but one that has had a profound effect on me. ABOU...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: WE CAN COMPLAIN
August 20, 2018
MY TWO CENTS We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses…To me, this quote is about reframing: taking something that is negative, thorns, and stepping back to find the more positive, roses. The first part of reframing is separating it from something that is “gravity”. Gravity is something that can’t be changed and reframing is changing somet...

Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: SOME PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS
July 30, 2018
MY TWO CENTS Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses… I appreciate being reminded that it all comes down to how you see it or reframe it. You can see the rose and be distracted by and complain about the thorns, or you can see the thorns and rejoice in the rose. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Jean-Baptistie Alphonse Karr (November 24, 1808 – Septe...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: THE TRUE BEAUTY OF MUSIC
July 23, 2018
MY TWO CENTS The true beauty of music is that it connects people… Music has many wonderful attributes and can affect my mood in the most happy and delightful ways. It has created moments of connecting with my husband when I get hooked on a song. I’ll play it loud, and we’ll dance to it in my office or the living room. It also connects me to others, and there is one fun and surprising connec...

Working in my garden brings ...
Read MoreFLOWER QUOTE: BE KIND, FOR EVERYONE YOU MEET
July 09, 2018
MY TWO CENTS Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle… I have heard this quote or something very close to it a handful of times, and it really strikes a cord. It’s so easy to be in my own space, and to not take the time to be aware that everyone I intersect with has their own battle they are dealing with. Life is a challenge for each of us, and I will have to work on taking mo...
