"The lotus is the most beautiful flower, whose petals open one by one. But it will only grow in the mud."  ~ Goldie Hawn    

According to Goldie, mud is our common ground. Like the lotus, we grow in it. So what's our mud? Where is it?

You probably guessed it. Like me, you've been in it at times. We can be mired in the muck of sadness, or loss, or failure. Our mud can be any kind of wounding or obstacle in which we get stuck for a while as we are being prepared to grow.

See yourself like a lotus today, so beautiful. Whether your petals are open or you are still making your way up to the surface, hold hope. Have faith. Soon you'll break through into a new dimension. 

Good things and great growth await.

As we trust,
Charlene
