WHY IS THE POPPY A SYMBOL OF MEMORIAL DAY? Happy Memorial Day!! Memorial Day honors those who have given their lives in battle. THANK YOU to all our brave men & women who serve Taking time to honor anything can bring peace to our day. Gratitude is a magical practice because it brings in more of the good stuff! And as we walk through our world, it’s easy not to think about certain freedoms because we are lucky to live with them everyday It's important for me to remember & honor those who have served to make these freedoms a possibility. RIP The Poppy? how does that fit into all of this?!? When I think of the Poppy, my brain usually harkens back to Dickens - Alice & the caterpillar or the Wicked Witch of the West ... (fun fact: when I was a kid, the wicked witch was my first starring role! Yeah, imagine a mini-me with green face paint, a broomstick, sinister laugh and there was even melting! but Thankfully No Iphones lol!)
