When I say I am inspired by my plants, I'm not kidding. I found this little pot on the first trip I took all on my own in my recovery journey. I went to Fort Wayne, IN and I spent a few days alone before I met up with a friend. I don't think I can even explain the importance of that trip. I needed to see that I could be by myself and still maintain my new choices, and my new routines of self care whether anyone else knew about it or not. I did just that, and this happy little pot came home with me from a gallery. The plant inside has been with me for years. The combination of the two is just a little joy bomb and there are days when it IS the thing that helps me find an entryway to more calm, more grounding, more safety. The metaphor of it all is almost too good. It's definitely self-love incarnate. Love yourself first and love others.
Love, Cheri
