Gather Ye Rosebuds

Today I got a call from a girlfriend that I admire more than she knows.

During our call she tells me her office doors may have to close because her biggest client had to move on for reasons out of her control.

I know why she has called me. It’s not because I am the fun friend you call to hang out with rather I am the friend that can say, “Me too” and mean it! I have been in your shoes and felt that same thing.


Pruning. It is defined as cutting away dead or overgrown branches or stems, especially to increase fruitfulness, growth, and prevent disease.

It is like the beautiful rosebush that blooms during our beloved rose parade but must be cut back merely a month later. This is done so that it might not use ALL of its energy to keep those branches that no longer serve it and bring forth May blossoms.
