The Choice is Yours

One’s philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes.

— Eleanor Roosevelt

Feeling the season through my kitchen window. 💚

Do you ever feel the nudges from the universe telling you that one decision is much better over another. Perhaps you have even come to know it as a gut instinct. Remembering that not making a decision is actually making a decision.

Every day many things are placed in our path some good, some not so good, and some just down right suck. Through all of this we have to make hard decisions that can change the course of a day, week, or perhaps our entire life.

I have been feeling those big life decisions around me, as well as the little ones. Like trying to end a relationship this morning with a vendor (classified as a little one) who has not done what they promised and now is literally begging for another chance. I have had to say a firm “no” three times this morning and it is not even 8am yet.

Crazy! Do you ever have these situations? I believe it’s called sticking to your guns. Not that I own a gun but rather sticking to my values and a path that aligns with the decision I have made after much deliberation. No matter how hard the tug is to go in a different direction.

Once you make a decision, especially those that are not hurting anyone else, the key is sticking to it just like a goal that you are working towards. Unless of course something earth changing happens to change your mind and the facts that are presented to you.

With that in mind today I am offering you an easy choice to start off your week with two videos. This first one is a short 4-minute meditation that shares the beautiful Dahlia’s I had the pleasure of walking through at the Butchart Gardens in Canada.

This second video is about all the garden clean-up that is happening from our first frost as we prepare for a low tomorrow morning of … 25 Degrees leading to a hard frost! Winter here we come!

Have yourself a great week ahead. Stay warm if you are in colder climates like me and enjoy your choice to be in a warmer climate if that is where you have chosen to hang out. We have got this.

Plant often and with Love!
