face reality

This quote from Jack Welch is a good reminder for us. We really have to learn to face reality or we will not be able to move on.

The photo is a bud of the Dahlia flower.

standing alone

I find this quote from Ritu Ghatourey so encouraging. Oftentimes we are afraid of standing alone, but this quote should give us courage.

The photo is a lone bud standing tall and unafraid.

Depth of the Soul

I love this quote from Joyce Kanelakos.  It shows us how we can truly get to know another person by looking at the depths of his/her soul.

The photo is a bud of the powder puff. It holds so much promise as it is ready to open up and be in full bloom.

A Bud and a Prayer

When I saw on the computer screen this photo that I took of this flower, something inside me whispered a prayer. I was simply struck by it's gracefulness and beauty. I love the progression of the buds as they opened up.

This is the prayer that I whispered and now share with you. Unfortunately I do not know the name of this flower. So if anybody knows, please share here. Thank you very much!
