Where is Bow of Your Boat?

For decades I have known, and it has been true, I travel farthest in my garden.

A gift to thrive where you are planted.
.
It wasn't always so, until I made it so.
.
Beyond gift, an inner power.
.
Occasionally, still travel to other continents.  Enjoy those from other continents finding me here, in my little garden.
.
More, finding those with no garden compass and inviting them to lunch.  Lunch ministry.
.
On Earth, my garden is the bow of my boat.
.
Here is freedom, solace, joy, strength.

I left for college at age 17, not returning home, living summers/holidays with my grandparents.  Above my bed a huge print of ballerinas.  Often, I would lay my head at the foot of the bed staring at the picture by moon light.  On the dresser a huge antique cut crystal vase filled with grandma's garden flowers, in the center, in front of the mirror, nothing else on the dresser.  Amazing to find the ballerinas still dancing.

NOTE to my gardening friends... look for changes to come. 

Knew before computers/cell phones, sitting in Atlanta traffic on way to a client, 'I must reach a larger audience with the same amount of effort.'   Soon after that epiphany I signed my CBS-TV, and, books contracts on the same day.

.

Then I read an article in the NYTimes about something called 'blogging'.  Saved the article for a year before reading it.  Studied all the blogs they mentioned, hired a computer expert they quoted, and attended a blogging seminar.

.

Blogging 2.0 has arrived, my knowledge is 1.0.  A believer in copying the best historic gardens across the globe it flows into every arena of life.  Watching Maria Killam grow her career/blog/life over the past 3 years made its impact.  Signed up  for a year's course with her blogging expert, Jon Morrow. 

.

Changes will be slow, plodding is my adored method.  Pulling triggers here/there is spice in the mix.
.

What do YOU want?

.

Nothing is too small, too big, or too ego crushing to mention.

.

Passion lies in sharing what has filled me to the depths of grace, joy & atonement, the best landscapes created over the last 2,000+ years.

Just so you know...
