I don’t think anything has taught me more about life than my garden. Nature dances to a quiet rhythm, unaffected by others’ opinions or judgments, living in the present moment with acceptance of what is but also with the graceful perseverance and resilience to keep growing, no matter what.

For those who thrive on planning and accomplishing, it can be a challenge sometimes to stay on purpose and in balance. Life is a moment-to moment juggling act of have to-do’s with want to-do’s. For me, reminding myself of my priorities keeps me focused on what matters and flexible enough to be able to change course when it’s needed.
