Apple-Impact

The Ebb and Flow of Our Lives Through the Eyes of Metaphors
There are times in our life, when metaphors help us to make sense of how we are being guided by spirit to be the best we can be. In the month of April, I will be exploring the metaphors of my life and hopefully, you will find connections to your own life or to your own spiritual path. Or you will share with us the metaphors that guide your spirit, your muse, your way of being and way of knowing in this life we all share, on this earth we all call mother, on this journey we are all privy to.
Apple-Impact
"You can count the number of seeds in an apple,
but you cannot count the number of apples in a seed."

Apples come to mind when I am in a particularly nurturing mood and have been helping others. You never know when you are planting seeds and nurturing others, what seeds will flow and what seeds will flourish. It is a way of paying it forward, since you may have no idea what took hold or what flourished, but you do it for the joy of nurturing.

Likewise, you can also create a fertile environment for ideas, love, kindness, and caring to flourish. This can be at work, at home, within your family, or with your group of friends. It does not matter where, just that you can have a lasting impact with your kind words and deeds.

“Leaders are the gardeners that create the caring and nurturing environment that enables ideas to flourish.”

If you are leader, you are like a gardener-you plant seeds of ideas, and then nurture, support and care for them until they flourish. Being a leader allows you to set the stage for creativity to soar and for individuals to find personal and professional engagement that is truly life satisfying.

What gardens are you nurturing?
How are you fostering an environment that allows individuals to flourish?
