Flower Arranging

A Lesson in Mindfulness and Beauty

When you're ready for some beauty, take a mindful moment to arrange a flower bouquet. Flowers can lift the energy in the room silently supporting as you and your children work. I like to use recycled jars or unusual containers, like my grandmother's creamer to make simple and attractive arrangements. I sometimes use actual vases.

As a mother's day assignment, I invited my students to pick flowers from their yard and make bouquets for their moms and grandmas. Some of the children really got into it!
