Love is the highest vibration of light. It can heal the wounded, wipe away fears, replace hopelessness with hope, and turn sadness into joy.

Last week I was at Lowe’s purchasing my flowers when I came across pots of poppies, my favs, perched on the top shelf of a metal cart. My heart skipped a beat, then another. As I pulled down the containers my heart sunk. Each plant was wilted and almost on its deathbed. Saddened, I debated the purchase.  Maybe all they need is love. Believing anything is possible, I caved and bought four containers.

At home I gathered my supplies—soil, fertilizer, trowel and pots. With the dirt and fertilizer in place, I loosed the poppies from the cartons, centered them in the pots, and packed soil under their withered leaves and drooping buds, tenderly. “There you go,” I heard myself say aloud.  “You’re home now. Soon you’ll be shining in all your glory. That I promise.”

Seven days later, what was once wounded was healed, what was hopeless resonated hope, what was sadness beamed joy, all because of love. Wishing that your love grows where you love goes today.
