Perennial: "Lasting an indefinitely long time; suggesting self-renewal"

~Webster Dictionary (online)

This blog is for those beautiful, perennial women that have made a conscience decision not to give up or give in. In this garden, you will find a collection of my thoughts and experiences. It is my hope that others will plant their own seeds within this garden to help nurture those that are in their season of self-renewal.

Words of Wisdom from My Father. . .

It has been quite a long time since I've posted to this blog. It seems as though everything stopped just as soon as it started. Trust me, I will have many posts that will stem from the circumstances that have kept me away. In any instance, I received this e-mail from my father. These are words that are truly wise and I figure that they are the BEST way for me to get this blog rolling again. Enjoy!

"People are not and will not always be or do the things we want them to.

But Who's Wrong?

For as long as we live we'll be confronted with situations, people we like, dislike, or just don't understand.

But Who's Wrong?

The bottom line comes down to values. Always stand up for what you believe in. But remember, there's a time to confront, a time to manipulate, and a time to re-examine. That choice is yours and it can be wrong. Take that extra second to evaluate before you communicate, or compensate and nothing can stop you.

Keep in mind the words "want", "need" and "desire". Strive to achieve yours, but consider those of others.

Life is too short. Values, help from God, and determination will see you through.

Only you can stop you."
