❓ Did you know hummingbirds have 1,000 to 1,500 feathers, the fewest number of feathers of any bird species in the world? Not only do they not need as many feathers because of their tiny size, but fewer feathers also keeps them more lightweight for easier flight.

“Without rain, nothing blooms. Learn to embrace the storms in your life.” ~unknown⁠

While not all storms are created equal they do serve a necessary purpose in our lives. They break us down, they nurture us and we grow from the process.⁠
⁠
Are you embracing your storms?

“The flower doesn’t dream of the bee, it blossoms and the bee comes to it!” ~Mark Nepo

I seem to be drawn to Spring themes and drawing from your inner self, lately. When I read this quote its says to me “don’t chase your dreams, relax and let your inner beauty blossom and you’ll attract goodness in your life.”

Are you letting your inner beauty blossom?

The Earth Laughs in the Flowers

“The earth laughs in the flowers.” Ralph Waldo Emerson⁠
⁠
I did a double take when I first read this quote. But when I thought about our neighbor’s overgrown Forsythia bushes bursting up high above the fence line it made perfect sense. I can now imagine the earth bursting with laughter through the flowers as it awakens from the deep freeze of winter.⁠
⁠
How about you? Are you bursting with laughter as the flowers begin to come to life?⁠
⁠I know I am!
