💕 thank you, Julie

Thank you so much! 🌿🪴

Well said dear lady, we all do bloom at our own time. Just like that flower you spoke of, we are all different in type, color, shape, scent and what we give out…but all are magnificent in just being ourselves. Do we expect a flower or bird or insect to ‘be’ anything? Of course not, so we must learn to not project our fears and expectations onto others too. Beautiful post, thank you for sharing your heartfelt garden 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋
“Do we expect a flower or bird or insect to ‘be’ anything?”~Mark, what a great thought! I appreciate your words and support so much! 🪴🌿💛🙏🏻
Beautiful concepts and inspiring ideas to noodle over Karla, thank you. I love, “permit the rain and the sun,” C
C, thank you so much. 💛🪴 It’s good to see you and I appreciate your support and words. I will visit you too! 🤗~K
Karla, I love the poem and always enjoy your thoughts. Wishing you a beauty-filled day 💚
Thank you, Pam; likewise 💛. Have a blessed day!
All a part of the beautiful bouquet, blooming or not, you are so right Karla!
Lovely words, lovely you! Peaceful day dear friend, Eddie
Aw, thank you my dear friend! Peace to you and yours, Eddie!
This is beautifully written. It makes me think about why I unplugged from social media “temporarily,” and it’s been about six weeks and I really DON’T miss any of it, especially “Fakebook.” If someone wants to reach out, they can take five extra minutes to call me directly! (No one has reached out [so much for being “loved”] !) Eventually, I will have to sign back on for work-related reasons. Ugh!
Stacy, thank you for your kind words and support! Friends, if you’re reading this response go to Stacy’s website now! You are an inspiration for so many reasons. I left Facebook in June 2018. I don’t miss it. I understand I could sneak on there so I could see pics of my grandkids and family. We have our ways of communicating. And I’m not going down a rabbit hole of things that just don’t grow my soul. I love entertainment; but social media is a sticky wicket. It’s taken all I have to start an author’s IG while learning new software for writing. I have a handful of friends that call. I love it! Life isn’t any busier these days than they were 20 years ago. I look back and don’t know how I had the energy to do all the driving to class in person, classes, daily face to face, keeping up with my family…we did it because it was priority and we knew nothing different. Social Media has made us lazy communicators. Emojis replace words, technology replaces dialogue. I’m all for learning and growing~just not platforms of hate and dissension. My email is finleyriverpublishing@gmail.com. I’d love to chat (I’ll give you my rotary number..I mean cell)about your AWARD 🥇! I can’t wait to hear all about it. Thank you for being such a lovely human in this space! You are supported and loved. 💛
Love the thought of the soul growing whole to fully bloom, and being part of God’s bouquet with you. <3
Thank you so much, Laura. I appreciate your support and feel the same way about you. 🌸🌼💛
Excellent poem and post! Comparing ourselves to others is a negative outcome almost all of the time – I only compare myself to who I am and who I want to become. That is, am I doing better today than yesterday? How can I improve myself? These are the questions that allow for growth in a positive way!
Valerie, thank you so much for your wise thoughts and support, …always! 💚🤗
Amen sis!! ♥️ I adore your poem and the beautifully written words that accompanied it.
You are so right. It is very easy to compare and find ourselves either thinking we’re ahead or behind. The truth is – the more behind we become because instead of running our own race, we watch someone achieve theirs. That’s tragic.
Sending loads of love to you. Praying each of us find healing, wholeness and joy in our own story. 🙏🏼
Thank you so much, Holly, for your sweet words of encouragement. I’m sending loads of love right back and hope you and yours are doing well! I love your last sentence. Perfect. 💛💚🙏🏻🤗
What a wonderful blessing to know that God has an amazing future planned for each of us. We’re all unique yet part of his family because of his unconditional love.❤️
Such a beautiful truth dear Kathy. We are all unique and he loves us all, despite ourselves. ❤️
K.L., your words are heavenly! Peace and love!💞
Aww, thank you so much my friend. Peace and love to you too. ❤️
And to you!!♥️🍮🍮🍂
❤
Thank
You! ❤️
Thank you, Karla, for reminding so many.
You’re welcome and thank you for the support always, Mark!
beautiful poem on growth Karla! 💖
Thank you so much, Cindy! ❤️💛🤗
Karla, thanks for sharing some timely encouragement. Your words refill my tank with some special reminders. Most importantly, “faith” is fueled up. Blessings.
You’re welcome! And thank you, Richard, for your support. I’m so glad my words resonated with your faith too!
I’m definitely leaning-in!!😉❤️😉
I’m definitely living this out in my present season of life. Both sides at different times.
Remembering God’s reminder that life is not a race, that the race I am running with Him is different to everyone else’s, and that’s ok.
At other times, struggling to abandon the pain if the word “should.” There will always be destinations we feel we could have been at by now “if only we’d…” but that lives into the neverending to-do lists we can find ourselves shackled by.
God helps us to stop, listen to Him, and lay it all down at the feet of Jesus.
Amen, Hamish. What a beautiful and wise response. Peace and blessings to you. 💛
what a beautiful poem. I’m reminded of my Day Lilies, as they often bloom. 🙏🏻
I SEE the Day lilies and I thank you for your love and support. This is reminding me of words I wrote so long ago, that still hold truth today. I need to repost some of these! I appreciate you! 🌸🙏❣️
