I was just thinking about my love of the Lotus flower ~ and yes, I’m crazy about Bamboo too (✿◠‿◠) and I wanted to share a little about the magnificent Lotus ….
One of the reasons I chose the Lotus as part of my business name is because The Lotus is a very important symbol in many cultures and religions ~ it is seen to represent, beauty, creation and rebirth.
It emerges through muddy ponds to bloom beautifully in the sun ~ standing proud and tall…. So it’s kind of a beautiful symbol of new beginnings and strength… I like that very much…
It’s edible, and the flowers brewed and used in tea. Lotus has wonderful curative properties and used in many Asian cultures to treat a huge range of health ailments…
Although the Lotus is rooted in mud, it sits majestically on the surface of the water and the water just rolls off it’s leaves ~ just as I believe we should flow in life… Grow, blossom and let nothing taint you…
