“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” – Anais Nin
I read this quote in three different, unrelated places in one 24-hour period a couple of days ago. On a blog I follow, in an online class I’m taking and in a book I’m reading. When something like that happens, you can’t ignore it. There is a message for me here… it’s time to bloom!

My mom used to have a book entitled, "Bloom Where You're Planted." Given that you've been "trans-planted" to another country, I thought that fit in with the theme of your post 😉
Continuing to love your photos!
Thanks for the comment xinme – I love that idea! The first year I was here I was growing roots and filling out foliage and now I'm ready to bloom!
