The Power of Influence
Do you know how much POWER your influence has? I went to the dermatologist this week, and was once again reminded of the influence I have on others. As I reflect on the conversation I had with my doctor and the genuine comments she made about me, I can’t help thinking about just how much all women influence others more than we may realize.
I may not have a big following just yet, but honestly, don’t we all influence those around us in some way?
We have those who look to us for inspiration in how we dress, fix our hair or makeup, how we walk and carry ourselves. But not only that, people watch our attitude! Have you thought about that? How you greet (or don’t greet) others, the small talk with a cashier or other people waiting in line. Do you take the time to help others reach an item on a high shelf, or are you in such a hurry that you don’t have time for others?
Oh yes, we all influence others in many ways!
And if you have raised children, you know the influence you have on them! Good or bad, they absorb it all. What we choose to do and say each and every day impacts others in some way.
People are observing you every day and YOU can have a HUGE influence on THEM.
What message are you sending out? Is it one you would be proud of or one you might be ashamed of?
I think we need to be more aware of what message we are sending others!
Have a fabulous week my friends!

Preparing Planters for Beautiful Flowers
When that hint of SPRING and warmer weather strikes, so does my desire to get busy planting flowers. There’s just something about all of the vivid COLORS, from the simple african daisy (osteospermum) to the beautiful flowing clusters of the verbena to the DAINTY alyssum blooms to the statuesque sunflowers.
I wanted to talk to you about my planters, both flower pots and planter boxes and how to create an IDEAL environment for them to grow. There’s so much more to it than simply adding potting soil to a pot - so much more.
Raised Bed Gardening & Planters
If you are like me, you love gardening, or at least the IDEA of gardening, but it can be overwhelming, frustrating, and intimidating. Well I’m going to help you with all of that, starting with raised bed planters.
I absolutely love gardening, WORKING with plants and watching them grow from seeds or starter plants to full fledged vegetable and fruit producing plants! But, there are WEEDS, there is the issue of watering the plants, knowing when to pinch the tips off of some plants to create full, ROBUST plants that produce gorgeous fruit, vegetables, and flowers! I am here to help you with all of that, but I want to start with raised bed planters.
