“Within your heart, keep one still, secret spot where dreams may go.”
Louise Driscoll (Poet; 1875 to July 16th, 1957)
“Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we shall tend. The invisible underbrush holding us back is our own thoughts. When we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but on the abundance that’s present—love, health, family, friends, work, and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure—the wasteland falls away and we experience joy in the real lives we live each day.”
“…don’t forget to tend your interior secret garden, because the seeds that will blossom in outward expression are always first scattered within. Weed out disappointments, frustrations, diminished ambitions, unfulfilled expectations, and anger about what has gone before or what has not yet come. These emotional weeds only choke your creativity. Let an unfettered imagination sow the seeds of possibility in the rich soil of your soul. Then let passion tend the garden with patience and perseverance.”
“When you have a Garden, you have a Future and when you have a Future, you are Alive,”
Frances Hodgson (British-American Novelist & Playwright; November 24th, 1849 to October 29th, 1924)
“The secret garden within each of us needs constant tending and nurturing. It has taken me the first half of my life to understand and implement this…without guilt and as a known truth for my health and happiness.”
–Ban Breathnach, Sarah. “Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy”. Grand Central Publishing. (1976). Kindle Page 218 to 220 of 501.

While driving northbound on Highway 101 outside of Girabaldi, OR., I saw an eagle fly across the highway and dive into the ocean and catch a fish. I’m so blessed and in the “FLOW”.🦅
