Building the Bouquet of K and tending to the garden I pick from.
Think of yourself right now as a bouquet. It is a collection of flowers that make up you in this moment. Daisies could represent your blossoming relationships, lavender your sweet personality, baby’s breath for the new hobbies you have started, etc. Your bouquet can change on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis depending on rapidly life is changing for you in this moment.
We each get to build our bouquet from our personal garden filled with all types of plants we choose. We must tend, take care, and nourish our gardens so that our bouquets can be full and flowering. There are no rules on how many flowers we tend to in our garden and choose to include in our bouquet. Your love for volunteering might be a peony that is always in your garden you tend to, but only once in a while makes it into your bouquet when life gives you capacity to hold it. Your anxiety might be the weed that keeps growing no matter how hard you pick it away, that is okay. All beautiful gardens have weeds in them too.
As I am learning ways, I want to tend my garden and varieties of flowers to include in my bouquet, I encourage you to do so too. There is always room for a beautiful bouquet in this world.
