Yet She Rises

What are you making with your dirt?

Living life is more than just going through the motions with what seems normal to everyone else. Taking risks, pursuing dreams, and moving forward despite being afraid to fail seperates us from the norm.

Your weekend WILL BE filled with moments that promote possibilities….

Will you be still enough to recognize them?

🌱It’s “Get Back on Track” Friday! 🌱

Today we can choose to realign our thoughts (and subsequent behaviors) to match “who we need to be” in order to go “where we wanna go”.

It’s the work we each must do or we risk getting left behind. There’s always a choice in growth 🌱🍃💗.

🌱Meet Me in the Dirt - Before You Fully Open Up🌱
“Connection is the energy that is created between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued.” — Brené Brown

Deep Connection is a gift to find in another soul as it takes a special person to care enough to hold space for your stuff... Before you open up, make sure you’re ready to be a giver too.

There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor. Charles Dickens

I had the privilege of making my grannie laugh since I was a little girl. I can remember how her eyes lit up when I would come into the room and it is that kind of attention and love that makes a little southern girl confident that she can go after anything!

Be intentional about lighting your eyes up when people come in the room. You could quite possibly change their entire life💗🍃🌱

Grateful indeed for The Today Show (CH 4) covering our story nationally honoring the work we do at Meet Me in the Dirt!

I’m hoping you also are inspired enough to follow the calling placed on your life!

YOU ARE THE BLUEPRINT

🌿Yes, it’s hard work and risky
🌿Yes, it’s scary and lonely at times
🌿Yes, it challenges you more than you imagined it would; and

YES, you will have everything you need to accomplish the work when the time comes. Practicing the art of “ Resting in uncertainty” is a must.

Barbara Lawson created a mobile nursery called The Oasis which helps direct people to where they can meet her in the dirt for one-of-a-kind gardening therapy sessions. NBC’s Gadi Schwartz reports for TODAY on the healing nature of gardening.

Are you drifting off course? Even though we know truth, sometimes we can find ourselves in places we didn't intend to go, physically, emotionally, or spiritually--and if not careful may not be able to quickly come back from there...

Here’s to 52!!!!! Making it “DO what it DO!”

I have already received several gifts and promises🍃🌿

I praise God because the boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.

I considered a field and bought it; out of my earnings I planted a vineyard.

I am fearfully and wonderfully made, my cup runneth over…

My children rise and call me blessed…

My husband has full confidence in me and lacks nothing of value.

I have peace that surpasses all understanding because my creator will never leave nor forsake me.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Now, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!

And here’s my “ why’s” minus one big son and the sweetest grandbaby ever! When I tell you my heart is full of love and gratitude for being able to raise these beautiful souls. They are clearly GROWN UPS and I get to reap the benefits of their friendship now. I also get to hear echoes of my lectures spill out from their lips which cracks me up🤣🤣

Nowhere near perfect yet kind, loving, creative, and adventurous. Each of them so different, attentive, and funny. I THANK GOD for the privilege of being their mom and now cheerleader.

We call each other higher when we mess up and isn’t that what this parenting thing was supposed to accomplish? They support me and I support them! They will hands down be my best contribution to this world.

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for- and if you dare to dream of meeting your hearts longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you'll risk looking like a fool -for love - for your dreams- for the adventure of being alive...
