The Earth Speaks!

Global warming, greening projects and other environmental concerns have become an inescapable part of our daily news. While scientists focus on the How's in regards to such natural occurrences; people of faith contemplate the Why's. As a gardener by profession for 25 years, I have discovered that there is something just as important as the Why's and the How's of nature. There are visible and tangible lessons planted in the Earth that we don't recognize that can teach us how to live, grow, and be wise. Our planet illustrates messages of hope, help, and inspiration. The Earth Speaks!Did you know that an oak tree doesn't produce acorns until it's at least 50 years old? You're never too old to grow, thrive, and bloom. Have you ever walked down a city sidewalk and observed a green plant growing in the middle of the concrete or noticed a flower springing forth in the midst of a brick wall? It signifies that we too, can bloom wherever we're planted.Do you want to build a business? Take notes from God's creation and start with a good foundation. Do you want to build better relationships? Start weeding out your garden. Do you want change in your life? Study the seasons. Do you want to grow? Learn to appreciate rainy days and stormy weather. Do you want to be a better parent? Study How to care for seedlings and wildflowers. Do you want to become a wiser person? Learn from those wise old trees. Do you want to climb higher mountains? Learn how to travel down into the valley.This blog is not a religious blog, it promotes religious tolerance. Whether here in the United States or Third World, nature is a universal language that everyone understands, no matter what location, denomination, faith, nationality, age, profession, or income.The sole intention of this blog is to give motivation through creation by discussing and learning how to climb higher mountains, choose narrow paths, travel through dark valleys, weather the storms of life, bloom in hard places, shine like precious gems, and dig deeper in order to find and fulfill one's true purpose in life.

JOANNE'S BIO

After a decade of climbing up the corporate ladder; Joanne resigned from the IBM Corporation, climbed her way back down to earth, hung up her blue suit, put on her blue jeans, and started a successful personal gardening business, Taylor Gardens and Designs. Her gardening business serviced very prominent clients in the Philadelphia suburbs for over thirty years and was nominated for the Merrill Lynch Entrepreneur of the Year in 1990. She has won both red and blue ribbon awards in gardening competitions held by the Philadelphia Horticultural Society, served as a judge for the Society’s annual City Gardens Contest, taught inner-city children how to garden through the Grow in Peace Program, and served as a garden facilitator for the Penn State Urban Gardening Program. She was also a guest speaker at the 2006, 2008, and 2010 Philadelphia International Flower Show. As a gardener by profession for over thirty years, the outdoors became Joanne’s office. The sky represents the ceiling; the trees are the walls; dirt paths and stepping stones are the hallways; hedges serve as partitions; and her office is the garden itself. Her co-workers are the birds and the bees, and sometimes even snakes. During those thirty years of working with nature, she discovered that there are lessons for living outdoors everywhere. While she was growing on the outside, in the garden; she was also learning how to grow on the inside, in the church. During those early years, it was in the garden where she first discovered nature’s lessons for living. The cross pollination between nature and her Christian faith sprouted into her first book, A Down to Earth Bible Study (AMG Publishers). Although her discovery began in the gardens of Pennsylvania; Mother Nature called her to step out of the gardens, as well as, the church, and discover what other lessons the Earth had to offer. She would first fly west and visit the Griffith Observatory, where her attempt to take a look up into space at the moon, stars and planets would also land her on dirt path in the Hollywood Hills that would teach her a valuable lesson that imparted wisdom for successful living. Since then, Joanne has trekked the deserts of Arizona to climb the Vermillion Cliffs in 114 degrees, explore underground canyons, bat caves, gemstone museums, the red rock formations in Sedona, the Grand Canyon, Indian reservations, and more. Her latest exploration took her across the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii in order to explore volcanoes, underground volcanic tubes, tropical rain forests, waterfalls, gardens in paradise, and green and black sand beaches, in order to witness first hand some of the best classrooms nature has to offer. Joanne has had the privilege of being exposed to the wonders and wisdom of nature on an almost daily basis. In her travels, she has discovered that nature provides visible and tangible illustrations and surround us with wisdom for successful living, as well as, messages of hope, help, and inspiration. Nature provides motivation through creation by teaching us how to dig deep, plant our seed, climb higher mountains, choose narrow paths, travel through dark valleys, weather the storms of life, shine like a diamond, bloom in hard places, and so much more. Whether you live here in the United States or a third world country, nature is a universal language that everyone can understand, no matter what nationality, age, profession, political persuasion, sexual orientation, income, location or religion. In her new upcoming release, The Earth Speaks, Joanne will provide inspiration and hope using not only the garden, but all of nature, as the instruction. Joanne has been featured on radio and television, including Fox 29’s Good Day Philadelphia, as well as, spoken all over the country. She is an excellent communicator, extremely professional, highly polished, and articulate. Her sense of humor and down to earth style is a breath of fresh air and will motivate everyone to grow, thrive, and bloom. The Earth Speaks, coming soon….Contact her now for conference and seminar information.
