Everything is blooming most recklessly!

Spring brings a renewed sense of birth as the flowers and trees bloom we want to start fresh. Spring cleaning in our closets and in our offices brings about a renewal in itself as we start fresh projects.

I love Spring, it has always been one of my favorites times of the year and my father’s birthday fell on the first day of Spring. He has been gone now almost 20 years, but when the flowers bloom I still remember him in the garden planting his vegetables for us. He tended to his garden as he did his family taking care of us in all the ways he knew.

My spirit is renewed to continue to fight for the rights of those who are abused by those who are more powerful than they are and to speak up for those who are disabled and need special help. I put my blog post which shows a recent ruling by the 9th circuit court regarding such a situation. Nadine you inspire so many of us.

My garden is going to bloom in abundance this Spring and Summer. My goal is to share the food with the homeless shelter and sell at the senior citizen to independent seniors. I am hopeful….

Good to hear life is “blooming” for you and your familly :)
I’ll not comment the rest I agree upon, because your last paragraph is the most important.
I’ve seen your TED talk and will certainly write a post about it … inspiring.

Hi Nadine,
thank you for sharing your “undivided” life of public events and private/family alike. Best wishes for the health of your beloved.

I just faved the talk
“Adversaries to Allies …”
and added it into our playlist
“Change to Be + Inspirational Talks”

Bridging the wide gaps is the hardest –
“bringing together diverse stakeholder to find common ground and achieve great goals”
Great talk!

I will check out the other interesting topic “create, measure and protect trust on the Internet” – so far I used connect.me a bit – the other two services look promising.

“we are becoming socially obese and totally unsustainable”
The word “we” can be interpreted in some different kinds.
I agree, that there are bad side effects of digital sociability, some people might weaken or even lose real friendships, whlle being busy with “managing the graph” of superficial relations; – but it is again _we_, who can reflect and adjust, balance it.

Nice post for this new day ! The Korean have a term Hurang Do (sp?) which means “the flower of youth” a beautiful phrase one does well to look for.. flowering recklessly is another aspect of that.. going crazy with the love of life !

In Persian and Turkish, the word for spring is Bahar. It’s also used in parts of South Europe where I’m from, in its full meaning: a tree blossoming, decking itself out in flowers, implying a pride in its expansion and beauty, a sort of: Here I am, see me bahar!

I love new beginnings. I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to start a second life from scratch, and every spring I feel the privilege of a new beginning, the license to decide what to keep and what to grow. I love seeing people decide do it, and thrive – in full bahar.

Lots of beautiful new beginnngs, Nadine! I’m looking forward to see all the fruits of your work, the seeds of which you are sowing in this spring season!

And, with Rilke, I wish you joy in all your endeavors:
“Only in joy creation happens. Happiness, on the other side, is just a promising and interpretable constellation of things that already exist; joy, however, is a marvelous increase of what already exists, a pure growth out of nothing.”
~ Rainer Maria Rilke

Hi Nadine

So great to hear that you and your beloved ones are together to enjoy this new blooming season. I loved your TED X speach : very insightful and so true ! It needs courage and humility to enable the change.
Thanks for the energy you convey which inspires and revigorates ! I feel ready for this season of renewal ! Thanks for that !

Dear Nadine
Congratulations on your TED. This is really good stufff.
This week I watched some news about Obama in the Middle East and I am sure he took some classes with you, now you need to invite some Middle East leaders and hopefully we are going to have peace in that region.
Today I have read an article about Mr. Clinton that is quite related to your speech once he truly believes that the way to have a better world in the future is through cooperation among ONGs, governments and companies to create more and more shared responsibilities, values and opportunities
Warm regards

Yes, strange is that a seed planted more than 2 years ago comes to fruition this spring. That is my first fiction book, Pursuit, a metaphysical fantasy. It tells the story of three lives in three time periods, mysteriously connected by an antique book. Their lives share similar experiences as they discover their inner power. This book is my first attempt to bring personal development issues into a story for easy learning in an entertaining and inspiring story. See the trailer: https://wemakeit.ch/projects/pursuit-a-novel

Thanks Nadine for sharing. You have a lot of personal new beginnings to celebrate. I wish you blossoming summer.

Everything is blooming most recklessly — I love the beauty of language! I wondered, though, if I should understand a second meaning in the word “reckless” (I do see our American lifestyle and the over and mis-use of resources as reckless), but I think not. This is a celebration of spring and its natural (and sustainable) abundance. Thank you for this inspiring message and congratulations on an awesome presentation at TEDx.

Hi Nadine,
I love the quote. So incredibly reflective of how life should be. Always Blooming and in mass abundance. Sounds like this year has been incredible for you and continues to be so.
Will look forward to your future adventures.

Dear Nadine
It was wonderful to view your TED talk and to listen to your beautiful warm flowing voice again. I was smiling all the way through your talk – it made so much sense. The simplicity the message contains it’s power.
Many thanks
Katherine
