1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 When we think about the stages of a rose from seed, to bud formation, to swelling and anthesis, until it finally wilts. Through each stage of the lifecycle it can be a slow and steady journey that can test the patience of even the most advanced gardeners. Today I want to share with you a beautiful story inspired by my grandson Noah. Listen in as I reflect and think about: The third half of life is a new stage of opportunity and strength. Admiration and taking in all senses of an experience, through the lens of a child and finding surprise meaning. Change within different stages of life. Learning how to tolerate uncertainty and find a new path for yourself. Creativity and inspiration for your path in life. As always I encourage you to share your words and share your story.
