“A flower blooming in a storm
is stronger than a tree blossoming under a rainbow.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo

Yesterday, during a visit to the Atlanta Botanical Garden, I was inspired by the awesome glass flowers "blooming" in the midst of nature's living botanicals.

While admiring the abundance of diverse talents displayed throughout the gardens, I felt encouraged to encourage you. In what way? Mainly, to not be discouraged by critics nor by obstacles in your path, or delays in your plans, or by things seeming to go "wrong." 

In this Season of Creation, may we be supported to grow, to bloom, and to create, using our gifts and talents. May we be supportive of others too. And, may all happenings work for the greatest good.

With love and faith, 
Charlene
