The Lavendar Tree: The Miricle of Mindfulness

The Miricle of Mindfulness

I'm working on clearing out. Clearing out my house. Clearing out my mind. Clearing out my world.

I need more serenity in this chaotic world. And I've found that I don't do much on a daily/weekly/monthly/yearly basis to help calm that chaos.

I found this book at the bookstore where I work and thought it looked like it was just what I needed. It's actually a quite small book - but packed with a lot of good punch. But just like anything, it doesn't do anything for me unless I actually practice what it says. So, I'm TRYING to practice mindfulness.

Wish me luck.

Why The Lavendar Tree?

Where did The Lavendar Tree come from? Well, let me explain.

LAVENDAR: I've always had a purple passion. I think it arrived the day I was born. It was only natural that purple came into play somewhere in "my name".

I like the way "lavender" sounds - but for some reason, I think everyone else spells it wrong and it really should be spelled "lavendar". :-)

TREE: My grandmother was an incredible fiber artist - I believe way before the words "fiber artist" ever existed. She was an extremely talented quilter, knitter, crocheter and could embroider like no one's business. She had a talent for the satin stitch to die for! My grandma helped encourage my passion for crafting and stitching when I was very young.

I fondly recall one sunshiny day, standing at my grandma's kitchen window and seeing the tree leaves sway back and forth in her orchard. She said the leaves were "waving" at us. I loved that. (Note: I have found that birch trees make the happiest wavers!)

THUS: The Lavendar Tree.
