Paola Merrill: falling in love with a messy life - a note from the wilderness

Like the wild shrubs on my property it is only harsh conditions that make their roots venture deeper into the soil to find something to help them withstand the storms.

Much of what seems negative can also bring about great healing and strength.

What if you are actually stronger than you seem, braver than you believe, smarter than you think, who would you be. Who is that person.
-Christopher Robin

Often small adjustments in our own life can make such a big difference.
