What’s in a Name?

Why Dandelion Seed Counselling? My father was a very important person in my life. He was doing mindfulness before it was cool!  He would walk very slowly and point out all the little things in life: the different colours of the greens in the forest, the bright red berries on a huckleberry bush, and the song of a bird.

He also told me that dandelions were only weeds because of how we look at them.  He showed me a pulled-up flower and noted its beautiful colour, its useful leaves and roots; it can even be used for dandelion wine! He mused that the dandelion is only a weed because we don’t want it on our lawn, or in our garden. But why? Because it is plentiful? Too bright? Too pushy and in-our-faces?  Bees love dandelions, why can’t we?

I want to help you look at your life and its bumps like my Dad looked at the dandelion.  Let’s look and see if what we think are weeds aren’t just useful flowers in disguise. Let’s get rid of all the opinions and outside influences, discover what you really want and plant your own garden.  Perhaps instead of pulling out the dandelions we plant dandelion seeds and live our lives the way we want to, in tune with what our core beliefs and values are.
