Happening in a couple weeks one of my favorite events is happening, what my family loving calls the Shannondale Rag Pull. The “rag pull” is a bi-annual clothing sale taking place over 3 days in rural Shannon County Missouri.
So, you found The Wildflower Joy! What is it? Who am I? And What do I do?
The Wildflower Joy by definition is an unexpected, overwhelming delight that seems to spring up from nowhere but, be exactly what you never knew you needed. It’s that smile that comes across your face when you spy that daisy growing out of the sidewalk. It’s that twinkle in your eye at the sight your grandma’s dainty little coffee cup in the back of cabinet. It’s that reassurance in soul when you see a Bible verse that you needed. It’s that happy tear that escapes as you see the book your daddy read to you at 5 years old. That is the Wildflower Joy! All of that and so much more.
