Hi Everyone: :)
When SGC was a physical store front, we were more than happy to help local folks hawk their wares in our store… We had a consignment program set up, mutually agreeable to us and the local provider.
One such item we had on consignment was a product called, “Messages From the Rose” A deck of lovely cards, each with inspirational messages to help guide one through the day. The cards were created by Karen, who’s last name escapes us.
We kept our store copy of these cards, and have been drawn to them throughout the years, especially, when needing extra guidance, during challenging times.
Here is portion of Karen’s words, shortened, taken from the paragraphs written on the packaging of the Cards.
Dear Friends:
The rose represents to me, the ultimate symbol of purity, compassion and love.
- The Blossom, represents the essence of our soul
- The stem represents our mental awareness
- The thorns are our fears and emotional challenges
- The leaves and branches are our strengths, courage and emotional joys.
These cards are put together with loving verses to help us live life in a gentle, compassionate manner
Pick a card and endeavor to anchor the message you receive in your heart throughout the day.
We would like to share with you these inspirational words….
Today’s Pick is:
Over the last few years you have sought the solace of solitude
You have built invisible walls to keep out the multitude
We now urge you to open once more to the those around
You will be surprised at how many near you, now share a similar sound
Allow your heart and mind to feel the beauty these tender souls hold
Perhaps it is time dearest heart to finally come in from the cold.
