Seeds for joy…

August 31, 2011 By Gail 32 Comments


The second crop of raspberries is ripe, and I was out there this morning vying for my share. The canes are a tangled mess daring the undetermined to stay away. No matter. If the bees and other assorted bugs can go after the quilted fruit jewels, so can I. Many of the berries literally fell into my hand begging me to gorge on their freshness. Others played coy and I had to sacrifice scratches for raspberry treasure. There’s something about being able to pick fruit from the backyard that is soul satisfying. We planted those canes, watered them, and let them grow without chemicals. The bugs have done their part in pollinating, so I happily share the bounty.
I sprinkled some of the fragrant berries into my yogurt and savored the taste of summer. Mmmm…so good…so of the earth and sky. It was the best part of my day.

A Message From Gail

Through my blog and website, I hope to share beauty, laughter, inspiration, aging & midlife lessons and advice on dealing with menopause. I will also devote time to integrative health and healing tips and news. I want feedback and questions because, while we may be sharing the journey, every woman has her own experience and her own story.

    I must express thanks to this writer just for bailing me out of this trouble. Just after scouting throughout the the web and seeing proposals which were not pleasant, I believed my entire life was done. Living devoid of the solutions to the difficulties you have sorted out by way of your good review is a serious case, and the ones that would have in a negative way affected my entire career if I hadn’t encountered the website. Your actual natural talent and kindness in playing with a lot of stuff was invaluable. I’m not sure what I would have done if I hadn’t encountered such a solution like this. I’m able to at this time look ahead to my future. Thanks very much for the skilled and result oriented help. I will not think twice to suggest your blog post to any person who ought to have tips on this area.

    Excellent blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any tips? Kudos!

      Hi!
      I wrestled with the buy-my-own versus WordPress situation too, and those who are much wiser suggested I start with WordPress until I learned the ropes. For now, I’m very happy. Finding Lauren as my webdesigner was a gift and I feel great about the creativity I have as a whole. Best wishes as you go forward with your own writing.
      🙂 Gail
