Legends tie the Dogwood tree to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The reddish tinge on the flower is said to represent the blood of Christ.
While I cannot attest to the validity of the legend, the story is one I remember this time of year – every year. So, in honor of Easter Sunday and Jesus, I give you the flower of the Dogwood.
Happy Easter. Today, may you make time to rest and give thanks, regardless of your faith or lack thereof.

Do you see the sly smile coming across her face? She has a plan. Her plan is to enjoy her Saturday, and she is ready to get started.
I hope you enjoy your Saturday, too. Go – get started!

Today is Good Friday, as well as the start of Passover. Both holidays leave me with a sense of rebirth – forgiveness of sin and freedom from slavery.
The sense of rebirth reminds me of a butterfly, which begins as a caterpillar and ends with beautiful wings that take flight. With that as the inspiration, I improvised. Happy holidays.
