🦋 Milkweed knows grief. And butterflies remember.

Milkweed grows where the land has been disrupted—roadsides, ditches, wild spaces. It's often overlooked, yet it is the only plant that can sustain the monarch’s transformation. No milkweed, no butterfly.

Grief is like that too.

It arises in broken places. It can feel messy and uninvited. But like milkweed, it holds the sacred ground for something beautiful to emerge.

Butterflies have long symbolized the soul, ancestors, and spiritual transformation.
They remind us that death is not an end, but a transition.
That grief is not the absence of love, but the continuation of it.
That we are still becoming.

🦋 If you're grieving, you're not broken.
You are becoming.
You are sacred ground.

🌼✨ The Magic of Dandelion Seeds

The garden is full of dandelions right now — those perfect white puffballs that hold tiny seeds, ready to float away on the breeze.

I always find this stage so beautiful and meaningful. The dandelion teaches us about the power of letting go… how we can release what’s ready to move on, and trust that what’s meant to grow will find its place.

💛 A few dandelion gifts:
🌱 The seeds remind us that small things can lead to big growth.
🌱 The plant itself nourishes us — rich in vitamins and minerals, used for centuries to support health and renewal.
🌱 And emotionally? The dandelion helps us remember resilience, hope, and the gentle art of trusting life’s cycles.

Next time you see one, maybe take a deep breath, make a wish, and send those seeds flying. Who knows where they’ll land and what they’ll become?

👉 I’d love to hear — what do dandelions mean to you?
