The Desert Flower

So here we are, my first post on this empty blog waiting to be filled with something great, hopefully!  Last week I asked my four year old daughter what we should call our home school and she chose "flower" and I, of course, embellished it and said, "How about desert flower...academy?" (You know, just to make it sound like a legit situation here).  She liked it, and so the name of this website was born. 

The thing I love about living in the Sonoran desert, okay, one of the things I love is the fact that when it is seriously roasting outside and everything should be dead (including me if I didn't have AC) out in that desert, a cactus blooms.  Let me tell you, there is nothing so incredible and beautiful as a majestic saguaro in bloom while everything around is dry as death. 

It's a symbol of hope, it's a symbol of what each of us has inside: the potential to thrive and grow even in the worst of circumstances.  My journey I'd like to share is simple, it's about people, it's about life, it's about truths, and it's about watching my own flower bloom.
