The English Laurel’s Gift

July 9, 2020 1 Comment

Every day at my home I look outside my big picture window that faces East and overlooks the Plott Balsam mountain range, and gaze upon the very large English Laurel shrub that holds court several feet away.  This magnificent evergreen is the gathering place for many birds and animals here in the Nantahala Forest.  Cardinals, Towhees, Black-capped Chickadees, Doves, Wrens, Sparrows, Hummingbirds, Brown Thrashers, rabbits, squirrels, the occasional chipmunk, all seek shelter from time to time here, and search for food, too.  The bird feeder hangs from the eaves, next to this honored specimen of Nature, and attracts a growing number of feathered friends. In the spring, this lovely bush presents the most delightful gift of sweet smelling, >>

Faith, Hope and Taking Chances

August 9, 2016 Leave a Comment

Some men search for it all their lives. Some look a long time, some look a short time. Some choose not to look for it at all and thus lose hope and faith in life. All of us want it, yet some will not take the chance to find it. For them, the risk means pain and that is a price they will not pay. It finds all that take the chance to look for it. Once found, a wise man pays the price to keep it. For the true kind is the best and the one worth all the risk. Once found, it will bring pure joy, add hope, chase away all doubts and fears, and bring >>

Her photography invoked memories when I was a child, laying down on the grass and gazing at the sky while the clouds floated by … Teri somehow successfully expresses these elements of nature we are so ignorant to.

I found your site to be inspiring as you are one whose blessings are abundant. It is when we share our light and life with others that we emerge more empowered.

I’m so impressed with your writing – it has a beautiful sense of style, like YOU! The photographs you included perfectly illustrate the topic and make the piece quite inspiring. Congratulations!!
