The hibiscus. Just the brightener my deck needed. I needed. Just the gift my kiddo knew I needed, well before I did. A belated Mother’s Day present. The chosen flower because, “it’ll remind you of Hawaii,” he said.🥰 My favorite place on the planet and a dream to return. A dream which keeps getting pushed out year after year because, well…times have been tough. Yeah, this flower reminds me of Hawaii. And also, I love the way the yellow stands out against the red. Declaring its difference, its uniqueness. The way it proclaims, ‘don’t forget about me…I don’t blend in with the rest’. And isn’t that just the way we’d all like to feel? A comfort in being different, bold, contrasting against the rest? Unwilling to be tamed and shamed into likeness? Be bold. Be yellow. Be you. Being you is being beautiful. #gracefulwarrior #beingyouisbeingbeautiful #yellow #red #contrast #bold #standout
