Was invited to share on a website

A site that is just taking off was presented to me thanks to my LinkedIn account. The owner was telling me that the site offers a word once  week and users are encouraged to post something that the word makes them think about. The posting can be a thought, a short blog post, a picture, or even a poem. I never realized just how much it would help me with my focus word this year!

This week's word on Hone Life is Yellow:

For me, the color yellow immediately reminds me of summer and sunflowers. I am a Kansas Native and I look forward to driving past all of the wild sunflowers and Black-Eye Susans when I am taking a trip. When I was younger, we would go to my grandparents' house in Wichita and I spent a great deal of time looking outside my window. I had an imaginary horse that ran beside the van and would often gallop through fields of wheat that were surrounded by wild sunflowers.

Sunflowers are technically a weed ... but they are a beautiful weed. I have always believed this to show that regardless of what someone is classified as, they do not have to be tied to that definition. People put sunflowers into bouquets and they add a beautiful touch. Just as a person who may be disfigured can offer something that will complete a project, another person, or any other place in society.

As I was thinking about what sunflowers were and what they add to a bouquet, I realized that no matter what I think of someone ... they fit into the big picture. We need to spend less time on the classification of a person (age, race, gender, beliefs, etc) and more on what that person has to offer.
