I am no longer a plant killer...

Until a couple of years back I considered myself a plant killer!

It was never intentional but I will bring a plant home - water it enthusiastically for the first week! And then in the rush of life - forget it and then remember it back. In this back & forth, the plant would end up dead or dry! when this happened consequently I sweared to never buy plants on my own! So for over 2 years I haven't killed plants as I have bought none! Last December when I returned after my 15 days of intense meditation teachers training program , I realised a huge shift had come over me. I felt somehow ready to experiment! When I taught my first course, one of course participants on the last day of the course gifted me with a plant! And Lo and Behold! A curry leaf plant from her garden. (Iti s a tough plant). I suddenly felt a lot of connection with that plant. I knew if I could remember this plant just like my very own for the next 2-3 weeks, I am in. And to my wonder - I always remembered the plant. I couldnt sleep if I hadnt watered it. I kept it indoors near my window sill. This experiment gave me courage to take further steps..

I began with my herb garden. Bought the plants and put them in my garden. Loved them, talked to them. They grew beautifully! I planted fenugreek. Came out beautifully. I planted Kale andn ow they are growing. Then decided to move into flowers. Got Gardenias and Hibiscus flowers. The Hibiscus flowers every day. What a blessing!! Now I decided to start with peas for winter. I potted the peas and have been waiting for them to sprout. And in the last two days I have seen over 4-5 of the seedlings coming out as little plants. It is amazing!! What a wonder everytime...

I have erased my title of a plant killer and stepped into the world of abundance, growth and life!! My plants have become a part of me. I have to water them. Even if I am unable to do so for a night, it bothers me or worries me like a mother for a child! Now I know, I am in. My plants also feel the connection. They know that they are in good hands!! They will continue to grow for my love!!

I am no longer a plant killer. I am grateful!
