Descanso Gardens!

Descanso Gardens

A sweet song for Spring 

in case you've been feeling "twitterpated"... ;)

The Japanese Garden at Descanso

I love springtime at Descanso Gardens. When my sister said she and Benjamin (my nephew) were coming to visit and wanted to go somewhere they'd never been, Descanso was going to be the perfect day!

We hit it just right for the lilacs! This was at the beginning of the season ... a couple of months ago!

With my buddy ...

We had a yummy lunch with a beautiful view of the wisteria ...

I've never seen the poppies so spectacular! 

My last post of Descanso was back in December for the Enchanted Forest of Light, but I've posted spring pics before.

Clearly I have a fondness for the place!

At least once a day, stop long enough 

to allow yourself to be truly amazed by a tree,

or a flower, or the sunlight dancing on land or sea.

That is the sacred space, the place within us

where we are witness to the ongoing miracles of life.

And the more we are open

to truly seeing them around us,

the more we are able to truly feel them with us.

Miracles are everywhere,

all the time,

waiting to be plucked by our awareness 

into the makings of a happy life.

Blessings and light!

Happy (belated) Mothers' Day!

I am in the midst of putting together a bunch of posts! (Finally!)

But I just want to say a HUGE belated thank you to my own 

beautiful, loving, lioness mother!

I am so very blessed 

and grateful for you!

And, to all women (and men!) who mother others, 

whether they are flesh, fur, or feathered 

we all need love and compassion 

and that is something we can all give. 

Now more than ever, 

shine your light, 

give love 

and it will continue to grow and multiply 

and heal humanity 

and our beautiful planet!
