Quote of the day – the Art of Listening:

Thursday December 17th 2015
Posted on December 17, 2015 by The Thought Collectors Wife
“The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words. ” ~ Rachel Naomi Remen
Rachel Naomi Remen (born February 8, 1938) is an author, teacher, and pioneer in integrative medicine. Together with Michael Lerner(environmentalist), she is a founder of the Cancer Help Program at Commonweal Institute, better known as Commonweal – See more at: http://homeinsteaders.org/thursday-december-17th-2015/#more-20531

“Don’t stay focused on where you are. If you fixate on one bad season, one bad break, then you’re going to get sour, bitter and lose your passion. That season is simply one part in the plan for your life. It is not your final destination.” ~ Joel Osteen – See more at: http://homeinsteaders.org/monday-december-21st-2015/#more-20542

the spring would not be so pleasant:
if we did not sometimes taste of adversity,
prosperity would not be so welcome.”

About the pies:

Key Lime Pie is the only dessert that I will choose over something chocolate.

Also, March 14 of this year was also a once-in-a-lifetime pie day. The first five digits of the mathematical constant pi is 3.1415

On special purry days:

This would have been my Gabriel’s 11th birthday (he died at age 7). I believe he was named Gabriel because his birthday is so close to Christmas. Every time I hear the archangel Gabriel mentioned during this season, I think of my little angel Gabriel waiting at the Bridge.

Enjoy the one soft day of winter you’ll be having on Friday, fabulous boy.

Today’s Thought for the Day:

Tuesday December 29th 2015

by The Thought Collectors Wife

“Lead with your strength.
Be patient.
Find what you’re good at.
And when you get successful,
take someone with you from the bottom.
Make a difference.”
~ Pearl Fryar

Pearl Fryar Pearl Fryar (December 4, 1939) Born in Clinton, North Carolina, Pearl was the son of a sharecropper.
Since the early 1980s, Pearl Fryar has been creating fantastic topiary at his garden in Bishopville, South Carolina.
Living sculptures, Pearl’s topiaries are astounding feats of artistry and horticulture.
Many of the plants in Pearl’s garden were rescued from the compost pile at local nurseries. With Pearl’s patience and skilled hands, these “throw aways” have thrived and have been transformed into wonderful abstract shapes.
Pearl Fryar and his garden are now internationally recognized and have been the subject of numerous newspaper and magazine articles, television shows, and even a documentary, A Man Named Pearl.
Today, the Pearl Fryar Topiary Garden draws visitors from around the globe.
