This flower (or what comes after the honeymoon)

I promised you that I would write again after returning home from the Earth Joy Writing book tour and honeymoon, so I'm keeping my promise.

Here's the most beautiful thing I've seen since returning: the Rose of Sharon planted during my daughter's infancy in lush, lavender bloom.

She is 15 now.

The tree continues to thrive in this, its third home.

Commitment takes time like this. Blooms can last like this.

It happens when we see every bloom as a gift.

I'll be blogging here every Friday to continue to guide you on your Earth Joy Writing journey. So look for the next post on August 14th!

Until then, I wish you bright blossoms wherever you make your home!
