    #19 Do Cut Flowers Put You in a Better Mood?

    Yesterday for Daily Stress ReLeaf, I talked about a book that teaches readers how to create a sacred garden space. Jessi Bloom’s Creating Sanctuary talks about honoring yourself and how your garden can be a reflection of that. But what if you don’t have a garden or any outdoor space?…

She talks about creating a sacred garden space that aligns with your spiritual self before advising on how best to care for that…

    #9 Changing Your Life From Broken to Broken Open

    For today’s Daily Stress Releaf, I want to talk about a profound thought I recently heard. The other day I watched David Brooks give a great Ted Talk. First, I have to say, I’m aware of his work with a social media platform where he might have had a conflict…

    Yesterday, I talked about fractal patterns and how they can reduce stress. Today, I want to share a few of those relaxing plant images.

    #4 Why Is Looking at Nature So Helpful For You?

    Looking at nature is so helpful for us because when we look at nature, we’re looking at fractal patterns. What are fractal patterns?

Good morning, here's a pretty orange rose I saw the other day to relax your senses. Don't forget to get outside today if it's not too hot. #SaturdayVibes #flowers #roseflower
Here's a lovely, well-chosen border I saw recently in #Bellingham, WA: irises, spiraea, barberry, and kalmia. Have a sunny day, all!
