LAST ISSUE'S IMAGE (ISSUE #42)-
bouganvelia.

LAST ISSUE'S IMAGERY -
As I stated on Friday this was meant to be uplifting and from responses I received it served it's purpose.

Dellie Rosen had a simple poetic response to it. "So cheerful, bright and inspiring! I was reminded of a colorful ballet - the petals of the flowers being the skirts that would soon open up to reveal the dancers." wrote she.

Interestingly, for me, the color contrast -- this particular red against the particular blue of the sky--was so stark, I found the picture a little unsettling. The added irony of this plant is that as delicate as the petals, and tiny center flowers are, the long and graceful stems are marked with thorns.

I suspect that we all have thorny areas ins our lives and businesses. How empowering is it when we can think of them as the stepping stones to delicate answers that will open up with grace?

TODAY'S IMAGE -
Quite a contrast from the those I generally feature, this photo from several years ago caught my eye. Following my practice of honoring what's catching my attention, today's and tomorrow's will be from that series, in the early'90s.
