I hope this message finds you well
Hello my beautiful friends,
I hope this message finds you well as I am sitting in my garden and thinking of you.
Five years ago when I moved to this small home which I love, there was no real garden, it was just an unloved space of rubble, dead grass and empty boarders. With little money but eager hands and an image in my mind I began to create, to build my own little paradise.
I needed a calm and prettier place for me to just sit in peace with the beautiful Sun shining down on me.
I tidied all the mess away. I pulled out all the weeds and very slowly began to grow my own little paradise.
I started to water the grass and dying plants and then planted some bulbs.
Some little birds started joining me, so I put out some worms for them and every day they now come and visit me as I sat quietly and listen to their singing.
The flowers began to grow, the little bushes and trees had new life, all they needed was my hands to nurture them gently.
I started to smell the beautiful flowers and one day a pink rose appeared as if from nowhere, I laughed loudly with joy. It has taken five years but i did it!
Now I know there will always be people with much bigger gardens than mine, much prettier, full of more flowers,
BUT I am so grateful for this small space that I call Home.
I had hope, love and respect for it, because I believe if you respect your surroundings you begin to respect yourself more.
It’s not always what we have, it’s what we choose to create and smile about.
So if you want, my friends, please take a moment with me and close your eyes, take a deep breath in, hold and then release.
Now imagine how you want your garden to look like, what colours would you like to see? What smells would you like to smell? Because our imaginations can create whatever we want… and one day our dreams become realities, for we can have so much more than we believed we ever could.
Thank you so much for reading and I send you much love, strength and happiness in your life.
Please take great care of yourself and grow that beautiful garden, even if it’s only in your mind to start with.
With the kindest wishes and a loving hug, from your friend,
Sasha
