“It is the image in the mind that links us to our lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers, weaves the garland” ~ Colette     Sometimes, when I’m really listening, I hear the sound of my mom’s voice calling my name from the distant past.

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom" -- Anais Nin    Begin Again: The Spring Equinox & Kim Snyder's Glowing Green Smoothie I’ve been yearning for spring since the last leaves fell from the scrub oak trees outside my bedroom window. Each fall I notice Utah’s native scrub oaks seem to want to hold on to their leaves longer than the aspens and maples. On the flip side, scrub oaks are one of the latest...
