Dandelions are not only a highly nutritious food source but they have a life force that is more tenacious than just about any living organism. They can even grow in the crevice of a rock.<\/p>\n<p>I wonder if I would have the focus to be so dedicated to my dream of life as a dandelion does. What an example dandelions are of knowing their purpose and fulfilling it completely in any soil. Can I bloom wherever I am planted? I think we all can if we stop to become very clear on the gifts that every situation brings us. I need to be clear about my dream and then take action to bring that dream into reality. I just need to live with the tenacity of a dandelion. We all could take a hint from the dandelion and its life force in these unusual times.<\/p>\n<p>So, that brings us back to the question: do I dig up the dandelions or do I let them grow and be the first food of spring for the bees. Maybe I will dig up just a few that are right in the middle of the lettuce bed and then gather a bouquet of the sunshine-yellow flowers to grace my table for dinner.<\/p>\n<p>Blessings to all as we navigate a new reality. We can do this and make it even better.<\/p>\n<p>Life is a gift. The purpose is joy. Find yours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BY DOVE Spring is manifesting itself fully, the cottonwoods and aspens are doing their thing, and I am anxious to go play in my garden.
