Life Well Lived #1: Baby Grapes

Attend to and nourish the garden of your becoming.
-Jean Houston

This post begins the new Succeed and Soar theme: Life Well Lived. Each week, youโ€™ll receive a wisdom to consider. Because the first quote mentions garden, my floral photographs will illustrate this theme.

I was going to take a summer break to focus on my own gardens and my novel. Last night, I decided to stay in touch and hope youโ€™ll take a moment to meditate on the featured picture and quote. What fruits do you want to grow in your garden? ย Share your thought here.

In the meantime, live well. Stay safe.

These rousing three minutes with Dwayne โ€œThe Rockโ€ Johnson will definitely get you up and going!

 

The difference between the right word and almost the right word is the difference between lightning and lightning bug.
