In no way, shape, or form can I express this enough. Faith is not a religious thing. It is a belief that God, the Source of all things, will provide what you need to move forward and live your best life.
Or it could be simply praying and believing that what you need to be true and come to be will be.
I believe in God, Source, and the creator of all that we call life. There is no doubt in my mind when I see a bee buzzing in and out of the blooms or when I look up at the night sky and see the stars and moon…what a wondrous, magical place we live. No matter where your life has taken you, there will always be peace, love, and joy in the garden.
Have faith that if you put forth love instead of doubt then faith can grow. I know personally hard times. The hard times where you don’t know where you are going to live or what your next meal is going to be. Having no one to turn to but myself and FAITH that things will be okay because God is there.
Faith doesn’t happen overnight. It has taken me 57 years to reach the point where I KNOW WITH A DOUBT that Faith is what keeps your spirit going when your ego tries to keep you stuck. I know anxiety. I know depression. I know what it is to be bullied…
I have always stood up for the underdog- usually me, but during my healing journey, I found out that I was also responsible for someone else’s ‘faith’ that things will be okay. That my friends, is the best feeling in the whole wide world. I knew then my journey to live my dreams…
The dreams I have had for as long as I can remember. Never to be taken seriously by anyone, including myself, until I lost everything. And by everything, I do not mean just money or material things, I mean my self respect, my self confidence, and my soul to another person. Lost all faith. I was miserable and unhealthy while also being a mental wreck. Who was I? I didn’t even know.
I realized on October 4, 2021 that my life was a living hell, a bottomless pit of regrets and doubt that I was even sane. I am happy to report that I am very much sane in my own way and I am so happy to be rid of the past. I also realized that those “regrets” were the choices I made that helped me reach today, May 5, 2023 (I wrote this). It is scary, overwhelming, but yet exhilarating to see the dreams within reach…
I am reaching for my dreams to create and inspire others. I want to be able to pay it forward and live with Mother Nature in harmony and faith -that no matter what happened yesterday or what happens today doesn’t matter because tomorrow you can start again. Have faith.
Be strong and seek out like minded people. Walk in the woods and sit under a tree and listen to the sounds, pay attention to how your body feels, smell the smells, and really be present in the moment. It is a proven fact that being in nature or tending a garden improves your mind. Faith is being positive and kind and if you become (or already are) a gardener, you will discover the wonders of God, Source, Mother Nature.
Creating. Inspiring. Gardening without the rules!
Have faith and an amazingly beautiful day filled with peace, love, and joy.
