How Do You Use Your Green Thumb or Personal Magic?

How Do I Use My Green Thumb or Personal Magic?

I DO have a green thumb.  For decades I used it to nurture and grow indoor plants and outside gardens.  I even had a Plant Doctor business for a while, before kids. Is it magical? It is if you believe that Science is simply Magic Explained.

The Secret to Successful Gardening is:

Read, research, take classes, observe successful gardens first.
Learn everything you can BEFORE you plant and always be willing to learn more.

Prepare your soil properly.

Choose plants that “call to you” and require as much or as little care as you want
to put into them.

Plant your plants in the right place at the right time.

Consistently water, feed, prune and most of all, love them.

Put your garden to bed when it’s time and trust they will rebloom when it is their time.

The Secret to Successfully Nurturing Children is:

Read, research, take classes, observe successful parenting BEFORE they arrive.
Always be willing to learn more.

Prepare your soul and your self properly.

Call to their souls and ask them to choose you as parents, realizing they will require MUCH MORE care than you think you want to put into them.

Plant your children in the right place–with you and your beloved–and at the right time–when your hearts yearn for them.

Consistently water, feed, discipline/instruct and most of all, love them unconditionally.

Put your parenting to bed when it’s time to let go and trust they will continue to bloom
in their own good time.

Like a garden, children
sleep,
peep,
then L-E-A-P!

How Do You Use Your Green Thumb or Personal Magic? — 5 Comments

  1. Mary Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow? Love the pictures pic of the butterfly wings. Did you make or paint them? I c

  2. I like to think I have a green thumb with plants. Heaven knows I’ve been trying for decades, and talk to them enough. I particularly admire trees. On the other hand, I also run with the idea that in gardening you lose as much as you have success. I do,however, do well with dogs and horses–although not cats. Same kind of care as with your points on success with children. I am hands on, gentle touches, and the voice of a friendly friend. I think they know more than we give them credit for. Gentleness, eye contact, respect and the tender touch make the magic. Perhaps with more than we believe.

    • Gentleness + contact + respect + tenderness does indeed make magic between all beings.

  3. “Science is simply magic explained”…. love this statement Karen. For some, science is a requirement for proof that Magic is real, for others the Holy Word is the only Way… and we can go on and on and on about the unique versions of magic explained. I use my green thumb for caring for my indoor plants. The lucky bamboo in dining room maintains joy in the space, we have a sweet magical exchange of gratitude. The connection between me and the large pin oak in my front yard has grown vastly. We watch out for each other. Another sweet magical exchange of appreciation. Personal Magic is being reveleled to me each day. Currently I am witnessing Magic in Action thru my ability to tune into a higher frequency; trust, gratitude. I am finding it easier to allow my higher divine self to lead. Letting Go and watching miracles take place one right after the other. I feel certain that this year is offering numerous opportunities of practicing Personal Magic. Moving my ill dad in to live with me and hubby has opened up a door to a realm of great magical potential. I am being guided to let go of old habits and ways of thinking as this is fundmental in my journey of expansion as I am seeking and exploring my soul puropsose. My friends, my book club, my hubby, my job, my home, my sweet life… all are results of my Personal Magic being put to good use. AKA answered prayers. AKA being in alignment.
