Spring Forward!

Dear Friends:

Thank God for longer, warmer days. As winters go, this one wasn’t that bad but I found myself longing for spring. I’d tell myself, when it gets warmer I’ll start walking again; I’ll get the garden in shape; visit galleries and museums; etc. etc. All things that don’t have to wait for spring-- but I just had to ride this winter out.

Now, I’m ready. And what I’m most ready for is beauty. Don’t you love beautiful things? I want to bring more beauty in my life. For me, beauty is beautiful walks in the park, enjoying the joy of small children, reading a good book in my backyard after the flowers are bloomed, and sharing good times with friends and family. Life is so beautiful and most of the beautiful things in life are priceless and can be had during prosperous times and less prosperous times.

I just enjoyed a beautiful luncheon with 5 beautiful sisters and I believe I can speak for us all and say that the occasion was a real stimulus boost. As we’re all experience change, it was a joy-filled afternoon of provocative conversation, brainstorming, sharing our circumstances, and caring “for real” about each other. It was one afternoon that boosted our spirits exponentially. Simply beautiful!

We also had the most beautiful flowers that were provided by Creative Blossoms, a new florist in Bedford Stuyvesant. The spring arrangement was gorgeous and absolutely affordable.

Bringing beauty into your life with live plants and flowers goes a long way to boosting spirits. Try it and also try Creative Blossoms at 370 Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn, NY or creativeblossoms@gmail.com.

So tomorrow, I’ll start walking. Shall I look for you in the park?

Best wishes,
Sheila
