Symbol of Strength

You may have noticed many of the images in my posts and on my resources are flowers. This is not an accident. I believe that the flower symbolizes all that I stand for. Strength in adversity. Delicate, yet resilient. I even got a wildflower tattoo (left)!

Here are a few quotes that I love about flowers:

"All flowers must grow through dirt."

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." ~Anais Nin

"She is like a wildflower; beautiful, fierce and free."

"Where flowers bloom, so does hope."

What thoughts come up for you when you think of a flower? What symbol best represents you?
