Orchids, like Women, a sign of Life and Hope

Amazing and beautiful orchids reside in my kitchen, facing the window that views my front garden.  They provide to me, an idealistic reminder of strength and beauty every time I gaze at them in awe.

The orchids have special watering needs and I am careful in their care.  Sometimes, as I feel the dry soil in the pot, I wonder sadly if it is going to die;  however, a few days later, the orchid surprises with arriving buds that blossom unexpectedly and I gather strength and inspiration from this amazing flower.

Women of the World:

·       You are exotic and serene as an orchid – starting at first as only a tiny root, growing and blossoming to its full potential

·       As the orchid shares multiple flowers in a single stem, so are the Women of the World - generous and giving

·       The orchids remind me of Women’s everyday duties and tasks, reflected in the strong stems; while its petals - like the finest silk - mirror the beauty that is a Woman’s Soul

·       The orchid waits to bloom when it is ready, as each of us blooms at our own time and with our own uniqueness
