Lessons in life from a sunflower
Sunflower lessons in life
A sunflower lesson in life always facing the sun
Yellow sunflower underneath the blue sky
A sunflower grows without a care
Different from the rest
It stands tall even as it bends
Beneath the storms of life
Day to night
Night to day
The sunflower faces each day
A sunflower represents strength and positivity
Throughout the summer
The sunflower endures extreme heat
Reminding us to stand tall and follow our dreams
To always focus on what’s positive around us
The color yellow represents happiness
The sunflower’s tall stem reminds us of our inner strength
The seeds give health and life to birds and humans alike
Sunflowers grow free and reach towards the sky
A constant reminder of how we should strive to live
In a world that’s surviving a global pandemic
In the midst of a mental health crisis
The sunflower reminds us once again
Of our inner strength to get through rough times
So next time you see a sunflower remember
To stand tall and look towards the light
Utilize your inner strength and reach towards your dreams
No matter what life throws your way
And the droughts you may face
Stand tall
Be strong
Shine bright like the sun
Be you

A glass of Merlot and a sailing challenge
It all began with an invitation to do a road trip along the east coast of the United States. When we finally met in person we didn’t expect our existing work friendship to spark an automatic connection. He poured me a glass of Obscura Merlot while we talked about life and then... the challenge had begun. He suggested getting on the road in search of the perfect sailboat to purchase and sail along the East coast of the United States
