Standing in solidarity with the Ukraine, Goddess Gardener, Cynthia Brian, gives us the motivation to plant for peace by growing vegetation in the colors of blue and yellow. We can all spring into solidarity by planting blooms for the brave. Choose a combination of specimens from both color spectrums that best represent how you feel.

Cynthia Brian interviews Michele Neff Hernandez about her book Different after You. Different after You helps readers adapt to, and embrace, the version of themselves that was born through trauma. Though people who have experienced trauma are often encouraged to live as if their awful experience did not happen, pretending that your past is not part of your life is both impossible and harmful. Instead, our work is to treat the experiences through which we have lived, both the beautiful and the terrible, as part of a whole.

How do we heal after the loss of a loved one? It takes great courage to say good-bye, yet we never forget. It is farewell, until we meet again. Cynthia Brian reads the chapter, The Gift of Healing, from her award-winning book, Be the Star You Are!® 99 Gifts for Living, Loving, Laughing, and Learning to Make a Difference. We all have one more field to plow. www.cynthiabrian.com/bookshttp://bethestaryouareradio.tumblr.com/https://twitter.com/BetheStarYouAreTWITTERhttp://twitter.com/cynthiabrian
