401px-The_Secret_Garden_book_cover_-_Project_Gutenberg_eText_17396 When I was just a kid I read a book called the Secret Garden. I don’t remember exactly what it was about but through the years I always fantasized about having a secret garden of my own.  I would daydream endlessly about this garden. It would be enclosed by Morning Glory Vines for walls. The birds would be chirping in the trees, butterflies could be seen gracefully dancing from flower to flower sometimes landing on me if only for a moment. At night fireflies would light up my garden revealing hidden treasures; my own personal light show. I began to be aware that the times I indulged this daydream most often were times of great stress in my life.  I realize now the immense importance of Gardens in our lives. They are a place to go when the soul needs healing. Having your own garden, no matter how small, creates an environment for our bodies to heal naturally. Perhaps that is why we all try so hard to create the “perfect garden”. My husband has been out of work the last few months. He is a man of little words but I know the stress has been building up inside of him. He has taken it upon himself to water my garden every morning and I  see him pruning the bushes and pulling the weeds. I leave him alone while he works because I know he needs this time for himself to mend.

So no matter what your garden looks like; whether it be a few potted plants on a terrace or a work of art straight out of “Better Homes and Gardens” we are better off for it because we have created a way to heal our minds and bodies through nature.

My next blog will be on “Healing Gardens” with a few tips to help you make your garden into your own private retreat.

On this plan, you do not eat anything that has a fat total above ten grams.
Eat two eggs for breakfast, and an 8-ounce serving
of chicken for dinner, and you're at 60 grams of protein right there. Exercise and a healthy diet is the only proven way to help you maintain your weight loss permanently.

Especially, bedding and linens are the main components of
bedroom furnishing or broadly speaking home furnishing
for style and comfort. If you do not have molding around the ceiling in your bedroom,
adding crown molding will completely change the look for
your bedroom. Further, Bolster Pillows, Accent
Pillows and Luxury Linens from Bella Notte lines store also work as decorative accents for the bed decor.

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old
daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear."
She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched
her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off
topic but I had to tell someone!
