Recovery Seeds for January 2011
Monday, January 3, 2011
Welcome ~
It’s great to be writing Recovery Seeds again. I’m refreshed after a short break, and am also excited about a new format we’ll try in January.
My plan for January is to add new Recovery Seed posts at the top of this page, rather than keeping each one separate. You’ll find each new Recovery Seed here, until the end of the month, when we’ll begin a new page.
I’m also still deciding whether to continue posting daily, or whether to post several times a week. If you have opinions about how often you’d like for me to post, please let me know.
So … it’s a new year. The past is behind us. It’s a good time to consider our habits, both good and bad, and evaluate which we’ll nurture, and which we’ll toss.
I love the photo I found for this month. The milkweed pod is opened, lying on a snowy blanket. The feathery tassels just waiting to be plucked by a cold wind, or perhaps by a hungry chickadee, and the seed is off to begin life anew.
Begin life anew. Extend your tassels and allow the winds of change to carry you to a better place. The seed is within you, waiting for a new beginning.
” From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow. ” Aeschylus
I’m wishing you wellness and tender, healing nourishment,
Take good care,
Jane

Hi Jane,
Welcome back from your break.
I don’t write everyday on my blog. I find it too draining. I like to be inspired by an idea and really take time to develop it. If I write everyday I don’t have that spark of enthusiasm – it just feels forced.
Okay, well that’s my two cents.
I had an entire patch of milkweed growing in the backyard of the house I just sold. I was trying to attract Monarch butterflies. One day there were 12 Monarchs at one time outside. I have a feeling the new owners will pull out the “weeds.” That makes me sad.

I remember you offering me some milkweed seeds this summer, when I wrote about butterflies … wish I’d followed up on that ~ well, your friendship is every bit as lovely as a field of wildflowers ~
Thanks for your thoughts on writing …
Have a great day!
Jane

The milkweed pod . . . fill up the roadways and hillsides with Milkweed to attract those gorgeous butterflies. I’m working on my butterfly garden, a few more plants to become a bona fide Monarch Wayside!
Writing everyday can lose it’s vitality due to time constraints. If you feel like it, that’s one thing and if you “have to” it’s another. I’d say from your point of view try to feel like it : ) a couple of times a week anyway.
I will say that I believe a writer benefits greatly from trying to write every day.
Yep! You’ve got lots of vibrant plants in the summertime, and I love the butterflies (and the bees, too!)
I agree about it being difficult to write when you have to. Some days I’m inspired to write for hours, and others I just can’t get my head in there. I believe that if I’m able to write from my heart, whether it’s Recovery Seeds, or other posts, readers will appreciate what I have to share.
Thanks Mom … love you!
