Living in Circles:
A Weekly Pause with Flowers
Circles are everywhere.
In nature. In life. In the quiet rhythms we don’t always notice until we need them most.
The circle of life. The sun rising and setting. Seasons arriving, leaving, and somehow returning again.
Ancient cultures understood this deeply. The Flower of Life, made of evenly spaced circles, appears across civilizations as a symbol of unity and harmony. Leonardo da Vinci noted that these circles show how everything connects to everything else.
Circles have no sharp edges. They are complete. They are whole.
Maybe that’s why we’re drawn to them—especially when life feels fragmented, rushed, or stretched thin.
The Season I Didn’t Know I Was In
Maybe you’re like me.
There was a time when I couldn’t name what felt missing. Life was full—busy, responsible, productive—but something essential felt out of reach. I was tired. Uninspired. Disconnected from the things that once brought joy.
When my husband and I planted our first tiny garden years ago, it was imperfect and overgrown. We grew more weeds than vegetables. When we moved to Middleton, the garden expanded quickly and massively.
He wanted quiet. I wanted community. He loved the stars. I chased bright lights.
I didn’t yet understand how this season would come back around—or how God was gently preparing me for what was next.

Bloom Where You Are Planted
During that time, I ran along the Boise River nearly every day, then sit still and watched the river flow for a while—waiting for something, though I didn’t realize what.
One morning in my sitting, a familiar phrase returned to me: Bloom where you are planted.
Years earlier, my mom had said those words to me as a teenager, then showed up the next day with tulip bulbs. We planted them together without knowing why—only that it mattered.
So I ran home and planted flowers.
Not with a plan.
Not with an end goal.
Simply because something inside me needed beauty, grounding, and meaning.
Bringing flowers indoors changed everything. My home felt calmer. More intentional. Alive again. The garden became an invitation, not a burden.
🌸 Friday Flower Circle was born from this same desire—to bring beauty into everyday life in a way that feels life-giving, not overwhelming.

Circles Bring Us Back to Ourselves
Over the past six years, I’ve come to believe this deeply: Life moves in circles.
We don’t move forward in straight lines. We return. We revisit. We grow, rest, and grow again. Nature reminds us constantly.
Like the early light of dawn, each return carries a quiet promise of something new.
Friday Flower Circle is an invitation to pause once a week—to notice the flowers, breathe them in, place them on your table, and let them remind you that beauty still exists in the middle of ordinary days.
No pressure.
No performance.
Just a habit of taking a moment of presence.
✨ If you’re longing for a weekly mental recharge moment, this circle was created for you.
