I've spent the past couple of months hiking in the desert taking photos of beautiful Arizona wildflowers.  And after the cool, wet spring, they're plentiful and gorgeous.

 

Few things make me happier than laying on the ground (covered with dust!) getting just the right angle on a tiny new bloom.  This spring I've been fortunate enough to have a partner in this venture -- thank you Molly for enticing me away from my computer and out into the peace and splendor of nature!

 

This brings me to the point of today's letter.  I know how vitally important nature is to me -- spiritually, physically, psychologically and creatively -- and yet (like many of you) I allow myself to get distracted by my to-do list instead of being renewed and inspired by the beauty of nature.

 

So I urge you today . . . to turn off the television, put down the cell phone, pull yourself away from the computer . . . and walk, sit, lay, skip, revel in the beauty of the nature that surrounds you.  It will change you in fundamental ways.

 

If you have any ideas, thoughts or suggestions (on anything), please e-mail me at kely@awomansway.com.  I love hearing from you.
