We are all born into groups, from these groups we move into other groups. We become so involved in which group that we are in on occasion we loose ourselves. Sometimes the best we can do is find our own place on the branch

From the Heart
When we are able to connect to ourselves, understand our own workings and sometimes imperfections, we are far more able to connect with others. When we recognise and accept the feelings that are at our very core, allow them to be part of who we are without shame or fear we live in truth. We naturally relate to others and through understanding and compassion our networks widen, we become authentic.

Does the flower compare itself to others, does the bee only choose the most beautiful. Does the bird only nest in the most beautiful branch of a tree. In nature beauty goes much deeper than the surface, beauty is measured in goodness. Those who let their spirit shine will always attract others. Beauty after all is in the eye of the beholder, those who can see the depth and goodness in the spirit beneath the surface.

There are many flowers on earth and many seasons in which to bloom. As each flower withers and dies another springs into life somewhere else. To experience both joy and sadness in ones life is to understand balance, the changing of seasons of life, and that each ending brings with it the potential of a new beginning.

Is love not just the blending of souls and recognition that we are all the same. To love is to ultimately connect to yourself, as we only truly see ourselves through the eyes of those we love.
~ Liza

However beautiful, clever or successful you have become retain humility. Remember your journey, know that it was your roots that led you to where you are now, however difficult your journey might have been. Life has a way of reminding us should we forget, nothing is certain. Blossom but not at the expense of others, take time out of the spotlight and let them too have there day.

A rose does not just become a thing of beauty and joy. To reach this point the rose has pushed its way up from the depths of earth, battled the elements and fought for survival. When a rose opens and blooms it is because it has reached its final destination having travelled to get there. When you see that beautiful rose, or in fact any flower, let it be a reminder of your own path, life is full of pathways that lead us to openings.
~ Liza

At the end of our days what matters most is that we opened ourselves up to experience, we trod boldly through the fields of life and met the challenges head on. We didn’t give up, we overcame and learnt from each experience. If the world is a better place for having you in it, if you gave yourself fully despite the challenges, you made it, and in doing so made the world a better place. The flower that does not open will always remain a bud, for they have to flower to become and to know themselves.
~ Liza
A flower does not stop opening because of a storm, a tree continues to hold out its branches, even though for both of these, petals are damaged and leaves often blown away. Life can be a series of storms, it’s how we face them that matters. Change is natural and there is little we can do about it, challenges come and go, this is nature and all part of being alive. Live to the full each day whatever life presents, just as storms will blow over all things will pass.
