Some days, our inner garden feels like a grumpy cactus —
dry, crooked, full of prickly opinions about everything.
And we think, “That’s it. My blooming phase is over. I’m a desert plant now.”

But hold on.
Not everything that looks wilted is dead — sometimes it just needs silence, coffee, and a little truth.

In Truths About My Garden, Hannah almost panicked when she saw her flowers fading.
It wasn’t lack of sun or water.
It was too much advice.

A nosy beetle had been going around the garden spreading critiques:
“Your petals are too red.”
“You’re not as pretty as the others.”
And of course, the flowers believed it.
Because even daisies have identity crises.

The lesson is simple — and painfully funny:
the problem isn’t the beetle.
It’s us, chatting with it, serving tea, and believing every lie it tells.

But Hannah did what every wise heart eventually does:
she sought help, remembered her essence, and chose to believe what was true.

The result?
The flowers started singing again.
The beetle left (hungry, by the way).
And the garden became a celebration.

Maybe that’s what life keeps trying to teach us —
that truth isn’t a sermon, it’s more like a vitamin.
It brings color back, light back, and even a sense of humor.

So if today you woke up feeling wilted, thinking you missed spring’s timing,
look in the mirror and say:

“I was created with love (Psalm 139:14)
My petals are unique.
And I don’t take lies from insects.”

Then wait.
Something inside you will begin to bloom again.
And when it does, the sky will smile too.

Botanical wisdom of the day:

Truth sometimes isn’t aromatic — but it’s certainly nourishing.
It makes your garden to bloom from the inside out.
