Garden Lessons: Iris
The week after my Mom passed we planted tulips, iris, and crocus bulbs in my Mom’s garden in Iowa and at our home in the Pacific Northwest. The irises are now in bloom at our home but are still nestled into the soil in Iowa. This is a beautiful lesson, that all things emerge at just the right time and that we are all in our own stage of growth and development.
Iris represent faith, hope, courage, wisdom and admiration. My Mom blessed me with a strong spiritual foundation and faith in God, she gives me hope for a bright future, courage to move forward with grace, the wisdom to know she is present and living within Love, and I admire her deeply.
I am finding the beauty in what is.

I was born and raised as a farm girl in the Midwest and have spent the past 20 years living in Australia, Hawaii, and the Pacific Northwest working as a marine mammal biologist. I love spending time with family, gardening, being outside, and I enjoy making delicious meals for my friends and family. My beloved mama, Kelly passed away in late 2020 and this website is dedicated to her - she taught me to be a grateful heart and see the beauty that surrounds me in all that I do.
