“It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence liberates others.”

Everyday Life

pics_of_my_house_001You know what I am doing today? Paying bills (well trying), cleaning my house, doing laundry, helping our lawn guy with our landscaping project, ah…the mundane but necessary work of a homeowner. Has anyone out there done their own landscaping? I am trying to save money by doing it with a friend who used to have a landscaping business but trust me I got my work cut out for me. Any opinions on what would make it look good? I was thinking of European Fan Palm in the front of my house, Pentas around the palm by my hedges, marigolds edging my driveway and in front of home. Please, help a sister out, look at my photo album of my home and if you’ve done any type of landscaping, let me know what you think. Better yet, even if you have not done any landscaping, what DO you think would look nice. I have a corner property at the entrance to our community so imagine the PRESSURE! How about an SOS (Summer of Service) here with a broke sister in Pembroke Pines, FL! Live around me, come on by! I will appreciate any and all comments. Except the comment about the fact that I desperately need landscaping…’cause uh, I know!
