“The Earth laughs in flowers.” Wildflowers in a field, what a wonderful symbol of the joy of nature and our Earth! When I read Ralph Waldo Emerson’s words, I cannot help but smile inside. Flowers are special gifts that rejuvenate the spirit; their heady fragrances and gorgeous colors soothe our weary souls.

We need the uplifting power of nature now more than ever. The Earth is devoted and steadfast with her gifts. In a world that feels increasingly troubled and stressful, flowers help us reconnect to our inherent joyful soul center.

Inspirational Quotes:

“Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.” ~ A.A. Milne

“To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.”
~ William Blake

“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.”
~ Pablo Neruda

“Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.”

“Normality is a paved road: It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.”

“If you love a flower that lives on a star, it is sweet to look at the sky at night. All the stars are a-bloom with flowers…”
~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

“If you love a flower, don’t pick it up.
Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love.
So if you love a flower, let it be.
Love is not about possession.
Love is about appreciation.”
~ Osho

I predict that 2022 will be a year of startling revelations and the beginning of real change. What are your thoughts and feelings as you move into this fresh year?

Although I’m not one for saving my intentions solely for a new year, I do find myself thinking about things I most want to change that might have a positive effect on the state of our world right now.

Very high on my list is the intention to give small businesses my money and support more than ever and as much as I possibly can. I see the rise of control of government and corporations, and quite honestly, I find that disturbing. These institutions lack heart. Both will crush the “little person” when and if it suits them, and it appears to me that it suits them quite a lot lately.

Our strength and salvation, our exit from this stranglehold, will be found in the love, compassion, and cooperation we find with each other. That is why it is so important that we heal the division that has developed between us around the events of the past two years. I believe the division is being intentionally cultivated by the very institutions of which I speak. We will not survive this divided; we must come together in 2022.

I wish for you in 2022 all the happiness your hearts can hold. But of course, it is up to you to intend and create it. Happy New Year!

Inspirational Quotes:

“Of all sound of all bells… most solemn and touching is the peal which rings out the Old Year.” ~ Charles Lamb

“And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been” ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

For last year’s words belong to last year’s language, and next year’s words await another voice. To make an end is to make a beginning.” ~ T.S. Eliot

“A bridge of silver wings stretches from the dead ashes of an unforgiving nightmare to the jeweled vision of a life started anew.” ~ Aberjhani
