The Grass Is Greener Where You Water It!


It is so easy in life to focus on what is missing rather than what is staring you right in the face. For years, I was looking at what everyone else was doing, or not doing and didn't notice that I had, or have the same within myself. I was just so focused on the weeds that I couldn't see the amazing lawn that I had. I was so concentrated on the work at hand that I didn't take time to enjoy laying on the lawn and taking it all in. I talk with couples all the time about watering the grass in their lives rather than looking at my life comparing the two. Their relationship will never be like my beloved and mine because they are not us. Maybe you donot like grass, maybe you want a lawn filled with roses, wildflowers, or moss. What ever it is give it your best and water the lawn that you have. 

Day 34: Grass, just like nature that which I put into the earth, and my daily life will be exactly what is made manifest in physical form. When you plan an acorn, you get an oak tree. When you plant tomato seeds you get a tomato plant. When you plant grass seeds you get a beautiful lawn. Nature puts all of its energy into manifestation that which is put into it. What are you going to plant in your universal garden today?

This passage from Seasons of Change today is very powerful. It is a reminder that what I put in is what I will get out. I am often asked how my beloved and I have such a successful relationship. We are so in love with each other and how do we do that? My answer is simple we work at it every day. We plant seeds of love in each others hearts knowing that is what we will harvest. Love, joy, abundance all of those things that we strive for in life we must look for the places in us where we are blocked or resistant to that which we want.

For a great deal of my life, I was resistant to love. I know that I said I wanted it yet I was closed off to the possibility of it. When I started to sow seeds of love in my mind, body, and soul, which allowed me to open my heart to love. It was a short period of time before love showed up all around me. When I met my beloved I was relocating and he gave me a safe space to figure all that out with no pressure. In the midst of all that he invited me to look at other options. Today six plus years later we are deeper in love than ever before. Each day we sow seeds of love knowing that we will get that which we plant.

One of my favorite lines is "the grass is greener where you water it." Each day I wake up with the intention to water the lawn of love that is my life. Remove, and release any weeds of resentment, fear, judgement, and allow the water of love to flow and strengthen the roots of love in my life. What will you plant today?

I love you,
