"THE ROSE" BY BETTE MIDLER A.K.A..."THE DIVINE MISS M" IS ONE OF MY

ALL-TIME FAVORITE SONGS; it is the one I always think of when "Spring has sprung". The powerful message in this song never fails to stir my spirit, and fill my heart with hope. For me, this is THE quintessential love song...the one that something deep within me always responds to, filling me with so... Sign in to see full entry.

MY LIFE HAS HAD TWISTS AND TURNS...SOME OF THE TWISTS HURT. SOME OF THE

TURNS I TOOK GOT ME LOST... I heard this story in a workshop somewhere along the way. Its paradoxical nature caught my attention...and it made a great impression on me.

WE ALL WILL COME FULL CIRCLE...SOMEDAY... MY TRIBUTE TO MELANIE CONTINUES.

Melanie was a Master Gardener; attaining that title took a lot of study, a lot of work. Most every time I walked up to Melanie's house, I would find her on her hands and knees weeding, moving a plant, or placing a new one in the ground. Her favorites were the peonies...big, lush, fragrant...in... Sign in to see full entry.

WHAT IS LOVE? WHAT IS YOUR ANSWER TO THIS AGE-OLD QUESTION...?

I have been musing about LOVE this morning...romantic LOVE. I asked myself, "What is LOVE?"...certainly not an original thought! Still, in my musing, I wondered if we all take time to reflect on what LOVE is. Have you ever stopped to really reflect on this question...really reflect? Could you write...

"That's not me." I thought to myself as I looked at my reflection in the

IF YOU CAN'T SAY SOMETHING NICE, DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!

I'm Southern through and through. I was raised by a Southern Mama...imprinted with her ideas, and marked forever by her words.
