Propagate
My hairdresser loves plants and her studio is starting to feel like a jungle which works for me. She has this one plant I’ve always admired and she offered to get me one, but they’ve been sold out every time she goes to market. On a recent visit I asked her to cut me a…

A Table from God
There’s a built in bench in the middle of the backyard where I do most of my repotting. Standing at it in the early morning is quite nice, but as soon as the morning sun gets high enough in the sky, that area heats up and it’s not enjoyable. I could stand there playing in…

The Age of Endless Possibilities
I have a tendency to go, ‘all-in’, on whatever I choose to do, but thankfully, with age, I’m reminded there are steps. Learning something new in reverse is where I find myself with watercolors, but I had to relax and soften my ‘can do’ attitude. I got reeled in on Instagram by a watercolor book…

The Most Sacred Phase
It felt like coming home after being away for months, or at the very least, sliding my feet into my favorite pair of fuzzy slippers at the end of a long day. Over the weekend, the desk returned to the writing room and I sat down, gazed out the window in hopes of seeing a…

Let Them Stay Hidden
Before 10 am there’s plenty of shade in the backyard and usually a nice breeze is in those shaded areas that feels almost cool to my skin. Standing in front of the Shrimp Plant, spraying it gently with water I realize it’s putting on quite the show. Admiring it’s beauty, I noticed a tiny, orange…

A Complete Prayer
I’m listening to a book by Julia Cameron entitled, “Seeking Wisdom”, which reveals how her circle of friends and she talk to God. If you’re not familiar with Julia’s writing she describes God as Good, Orderly, Direction and each of us relate to God, or a higher power, in our own way, but it made…

For the Love of One Flower
I did the craziest thing. I subscribed to the newsletter for Hill Country Water Gardens! It arrived in my inbox on Thursday evening and after scanning it’s contents, I knew I’d be headed that way first thing Friday morning all for the love of ONE plant. I don’t drive much anymore and it’s not because…

Shifts Equal Change
I did something recently that I didn’t see coming. I moved the desk out of my writing room and placed it in the den. It wasn’t being used where it sat, because that room is too hot in the summer. The plants are happy in there, however, I wasn’t, so now we’re facing a wall…

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 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…
