For the Birds
I wonder if the birds are continually confused by my yard, or if they see it as a great adventure? This morning, I noted, “I enjoy rearranging things outside as much as inside”, but once you move a birdbath, it takes days for them trust the new location. The hummingbirds are as quick witted as…

Grow in Grace
This week I felt like a superhero in my backyard. In May, I purchased a hanging basket from a friend who works at a garden center and the vine grew like mad. When I first brought it home, it had a pretty, pink bloom, but only bloomed that one time. It didn’t take long to…

Rise and Shine
Over the weekend, I was in a meeting and a woman shared that she spends the first 3 hours of the day nurturing her soul. It didn’t phase me, but she received a lot of blank stares as if her comment was unfathomable. Over a year ago, I started doing the same thing and it’s…

The Long Stop
Last week, I began seeing a new therapist. The one I started seeing last June, became more of a friend than a guide, which is okay, but once that line is crossed, a change is good. I’m pretty sure my new therapist doesn’t know what to do with me yet. She sends me worksheets to…

The Best of Both Worlds
In this post here I shared the ambitious idea of leaving my Bougainvillea inside through the summer. It had done well being in over the winter and I was curious if it would thrive indoors during it’s blooming season. Well, that was my crazy unleashed, because do you know how big a Bougainvillea can get?…

Lost in the Crowd
One of my co-workers is taking these first two weeks of June off from our FLA community and I agreed to help with some of her duties, but there’s one area that makes me extremely uncomfortable to be in. It’s a section where members can ask for coaching support, which is her expertise, but even…

A Box of Thoughts
First thing in the morning, I feel a need to stay in my own little world for a while before connecting with people. I tend not to speak until after 9, or 10 am, but not from a lack of words. I let all of them fall to the page through the keys of my…

Advice from a Dog
I saw this quote and kept it to share. Plants teach me about life, but these two dogs living with me are also good teachers. Similar to plants, a lot of times I think I’m doing all the giving when in reality they give so much more than they receive, but I’ll continue to watch…

Think Like a Plant
Recently, I saw a post in favor of Hill Country Water Gardens, giving them a rating of 10 out of 10. The reviewer highlighted how calm and peaceful it is to simply walk through, even though she usually leaves with something. I can relate. It’s not a place to swing by when you’re pressed for…

Uncross Our Legs
I was taught at a very young age to cross my legs when seated and this became an automatic action throughout my life. Working from home, whenever I sit down my right leg would instinctively cross over my left and stay there. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed one morning while getting out of…

My Life is a Meme
My friend SC Lourie shared this on her social media and I found it so interesting. 🧡

The Right Choice
One month later, I moved Rumi out of my bedroom because it was inconvenient sharing my space. I got tired of moving him to function and he didn’t look happy. Plants need to be around energy, so I moved him to the front of the house, which ironically is where he landed when I first…

The Broom for $6.95
It hangs on the third hook from the back door, but there for a while, it hung on a hook by the front door, so she could see it more often. She’s completely smitten with it even after one year later and it’s one of those things that gets better with age. Her neighbor thought…

Sober Sunday
I hear this song almost every time I turn on the radio and it resonates deeply. During my married life, money bought a lot of things and furnished a life that many dream of, but I wasn’t happy and I didn’t learn the true meaning of happiness until all was lost many times over. Having…
