How committed are you?

There is a bluff at the edge of Wenatchee, WA that hosts a spectacular garden – Ohme Gardens

If you follow this link (Ohme Gardens) you can read about the history and see some of the spectacular photos of today.

It took a clear dream/vision and then a lot of action – the kind that leaves you with a dirt tan to create this oasis in the rock pile. Years later, it is hard to imagine a couple being that dedicated to a project that wasn’t about money but instead was about beauty, tranquility and peace.

Eighty-one years later, the gardens remain and hosts people visiting each year to participate in the legacy of this one couple’s dream/vision. What is your vision? What are you wiling to commit to or tend until it blooms?

For me it is such a contrast to see a standing legacy like this garden and then tons of junk that gets recycled so we can buy more stuff. While the garden doesn’t have neighbor envy, meaning you can’t bring it home in a box or park it front of your home – there is something much more satisfying in seeing the result of nurturing a dream manifest in front of you.

I believe our Soul’s are hungry for legacy work. I believe we didn’t come to earth to just buy stuff, incur debt, work to pay off our debt and remain in a rat race of chasing that which has a shorter lifespan than our pet petunia.

As I think about blossoming, I wonder what you have dedicated your life to? What is one mark you want to make on this thing called life?

I’d say this gal made love her gift to the 36 kids she provided foster care for. That is a commitment to the future with a lot of heart.

Blossoming is a full out commitment. There is no try in the endeavor. For a plant blooming is a no-brainer. There is no half bloom, no peeking and shirking – there is only a surrender to be what it is meant to be…

Are you ready to answer the call of your Soul? Are you ready to fully bloom?
