I want to tell you the story of the Red Daffodil.

I am the Red Daffodil.

I was always a different child. I didn’t fit into any category very well. Always more comfortable with my self and my own thoughts than any group and most people. This tends to isolate one, but I managed to have a few friends, do a few activities and pretty well fit comfortably with life in the fifties and sixties.

Eventually, I married, had a home and family, educated myself, owned a business, got divorced, lived the single life for a while and then remarried and began to have a very different life.

A few years later, I began to get hungry for something of my own again and after we moved to a small town in southern Indiana, I decided to open a little bookstore and art gallery. Sounds okay doesn’t it? Well, it was a leap of Faith! This bookstore was going to be filled with Metaphysical art and books for the Mind, Body, and Spirit. So were the classes and Readings that I intended to do.

It would be an understatement to say that I was very nervous about this endeavor, but I was going to do all I could to make it work just fine. You see, it was located in pure REDNECK territory, smack in the midst of the Bible Belt in small town USA. I wasn’t sure if I was being brave or just plain stupid. Were tar and feathers in my future?

Spirit and the Powers That Be had to give me a LOT of help on this one. They did! With much meditation, prayer, incense, salt, candles and request for protection, I moved forward!

The one thing that still eluded me was what to name it…….more prayers and meditations until one night in a dream Spirit answered me. She explained to me what to call it and why, and that the name would stay with me for a very long time and would all-ways mean much to me. She even told me what colors to use on the sign and business cards and to use inside the store. In short, Spirit guided my every step. My gratitude is endless and to this day The Red Daffodil is who I am and will ever be.

The yellow gold is Spirit …the Light and Being of every faith who dwells in every heart and space. The Red is the Life’s Blood that flows thru every living being and is the same color for All……it connects us as One. Daffodils because they renew and grow every spring, and give an opportunity for growth and expansion and are beautiful to see as are we to Spirit.

So be it all-ways….in peace and love to you……The Red Daffy!
