How to create beauty wherever you are

Whenever you are creating beauty around you, you are restoring your own soul.”

― Alice Walker

At every moment, my heart speaks to me. In hushed tones, whispers: create more beauty. A woman on a mission, I happily went to a garden center to buy some lovely plants the day before my diagnostic medical test.

Each plant’s vibrancy and color spoke to my soul as I selected them. Honeysuckle will provide bright orange hues and a sweet scent for all to enjoy. A magenta tea rose is the tonic needed to disappear any frowns.

Pulling on my garden boots, I happily dodged raindrops armed with my shovel for planting beauty. Each hole I dug was a prayer for love and harmony. The rains nurture each living being, coaxing them to become more and more.

It is the same with human beings. We came here to create beauty of many types. When you give of your creative gifts, life shines upon you.
