One of the gardening tools used in Tending to Your Garden Within is mirroring. It is a mechanism to look at experiences in our daily lives and investigate their deeper meanings. Many times, what we feel and experience in the outside world has meanings for us inwardly, and can be used to know ourselves better.

“When we die and go to Heaven, God is not going to say, ''Why didn't you discover the cure for such and such?'' The only thing we're going to be asked at that precious moment is ''Why didn't you become you?''

Sometimes we think that emotions just "happen" without us being part of the process. We know that emotions are powerful, and you can point them in the direction you chose.
* Negative emotions can be stopped by deciding firmly to stop them.
* Positive emotions can be fostered by recognizing your small successes.
* You are not helpless in the face of your emotions.
You are a very complex creation – a human being complete with all the thoughts you think and the emotions you feel. When you matured from young adulthood into the fullness of being an adult, one of the skills you acquired was the ability to think through and to feel more fully the emotions you experienced.
Or are you one of those folks who suppresses his or her negative feelings and shoves them into a dark corner of your mind labeled “I’ll look at this later?” That leads me to the… Continue

For the ancients, February marked the return of light and life to the world. With food supplies running low, the birth of the first lambs brought a reprieve from hunger providing milk and fresh meat. Our ancestors celebrated February as a time of renewal, a time to honor the returning light, as the cold and darkness of winter withdrew and the earth hinted at the return of spring. The birthing of lambs and the lengthening days fostered the early fertility festivals that became our modern… Continue
