www.breatheagainmagazine.com: Sowing Seeds

Dear Friend,

When you think of sowing seeds what comes to mind?

They tell me this is the perfect season to start planting seeds. Seeds for vegetables, flowers and even grass.

As a child I can remember helping my grandfather till his garden in the early spring and even pulling weeds out of the flower beds for planting.

It would amaze me how the tomatoes, corn and peppers would magically appear. But in reality it wasn't magic. It was work. My Pop-Pop would rise early in the morning to ensure the plants were maintained. He would chase off the animals that would try and destroy what he was working so hard to grow. He was the keeper of what he was growing. It was his job to make sure he guarded the crops.

We all plant some type of seeds. But just like my Pop-Pop we must guard what is growing.

On May 15th 2008 Breathe Again Magazine and it's partners will be planting a garden.

No, it's not corn, tomatoes or even grass.

We will celebrate local GED graduates. So many times we expose the negative but rarely celebrate the accomplishments. Won't you consider watering this garden with us?

By helping, you will be sowing seeds of hope and encouragement. We want these graduates to know that they too, can dream big.

From time to time I speak at workforce and GED graduations.

A student once asked, "how far can I go since I messed up? " My response was, " How far do you want to go? The ball is in your court. It's all up to you."

If you would like to help please email us at info@breatheagain.org

Blessings,

Nicole
