Evening Wildflowers

“Like wildflowers; you must allow yourself to grow in all the places people thought you never would.” — E.V.

Trying to meet others’ expectations is a never-ending cycle that drains our energy and diminishes the essence of who we really are.

I have a great deal of respect for wildflowers. People often visit the best plant nurseries to buy healthy flowering plants, custom potting soil, and prescribed fertilizers. They go to great lengths to plant or repot them carefully, water them, and check on them daily. In contrast, wildflowers can thrive in what appears to be barren soil under the worst conditions, only to be noticed as more than a weed after they bloom beautifully. You can’t help but admire them for their survivability and their story.
