Words that came to life yesterday as my daughter, sister-in-law, nieces, and I rummaged through items of generations past at the antique stores in the downtown district of the city. Strolling streets made of bricks, then standing with a fixed gaze at the vibrant green vines stretching to the history etched in the ceiling of a mid-20th century building. An old space trending with the times. The contrast of colors against sterile walls, the vibrancy of a violet, woodsy musk sailing across the room on the dry winter air. The inky corners spilling into the rows of plants leaning toward light. I smile in the moment of awe at what is seen, felt, understood as a deep appreciation for what I can’t create a wonder within that surpasses the transforming journey of a building, I think about life and hear the words be like PLANTS. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d93aec9f16857566f0931b9/8af49494-3ade-4f9d-8ab9-ea0e3aa935ab/WD+92st+Annual-2023-WinnerSeals-Winner.jpg Blog - PLANTS - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.brandidredge.com/blog/power-of-a-post monthly 0.5 2020-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d93aec9f16857566f0931b9/1581280435057-ROSDPLOIFQKBY1GLRJCX/sample+pic+love+or+hate+to+the+feed.jpg Blog - POWER OF A POST https://www.brandidredge.com/blog/one-piece-of-advice-what-would-it-be monthly 0.5 2020-01-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d93aec9f16857566f0931b9/1578102605211-TGOCEETFI5BPN31YB6XM/kess.jpg Blog - One piece of advice, what would it be? I took this plaque to my friend's grave; I wondered what story she might write if only she had one more day. As I leaned it up against the stone, Oh, how I wished I could call her on the phone. Would she ask if I took time to feel the ray of the sun or if I remember it is ok to have fun Would she tell me to stop stressing over what to wear or all the ways life feels unfair Would she remind me that fear and doubt will make you feel trapped, would she tell me there isn’t time for that Would she ask if I hurriedly rushed down the store aisle or if I took a moment to give someone a smile Would she ask if I felt the kiss of the morning dew and if I remembered to tell someone, I love you As I sat next to her name on the ground, one final thought I found. If she could give us one piece of advice, what would it be? Then these very words drifted through me: My Dear, while you are here, know each day is another gift you get to see.
