"It's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.” ~ Meister Eckhart

Is it time? Maybe we are always at the start of something new. Each day is new. Let's trust the magic in that. In life. In living. 

"Life is a splendid gift," said Florence Nightingale. "There is nothing small about it...So never lose an opportunity of urging a practical beginning, however small, for it is wonderful how often in such matters the mustard-seed germinates and roots itself." 

When we begin something aimed to bring about an improvement in some area of life, when we take small steps with love and faith, mustard seed growth happens. 

Consider how "a rose started off a bud, a bird started off an egg, and a forest started off a seed,”  as Matshona Dhliwayo expressed. 

With a blooming rose, a gliding bird, and an expanding forest in mind, let's encourage one another to step toward the good things we envision.

Let's grow beauty, love, and hope.

With faith,
Charlene
