Tumbleweed Thusday

Today is Tumbleweed Thursday, we challenge you to live your life like a tumbleweed! Tumbleweeds are an icon of the American West. Did you know that this plant grows to about 3 feet? At maturity it breaks at the base and because it is rounded, it tumbles in the wind. There is a natural purpose to this tumbling--the tumbleweed can produce up to 250,000 seeds, and the tumbling serves to spread those seed wherever it tumbles, guaranteeing that there will be more tumbleweeds in the future.

You might ask "How do I be a tumbleweed?" Simple! Be open to the universe and let it be your guide. Tumbleweeds don't force themselves in any one direction, they just tumble with the wind. Sometimes they stop temporarily, standing still until the next gust picks them up. Never staying in any one place permanently, the tumbleweed must be open to change in order to survive! Wherever you go, leave behind your seeds. We are all unique and hold special talents, take a risk by leaving a little of yourself behind with all those other tumbleweeds you meet along the way.

Best of all, eat a cupcake and get round like a tumbleweed!

Less than three,
Tumbleweed Chalaudas

  1. Great article....

    Roundness most of the time comes with the mass. Too much mass might be a little difficult to roll around.

    BTW how you recommend we leave behind our seeds?

  2. Being authentic and being yourself is the best way to leave behind your seeds. When you stop trying to live upto another's expectations, your true self shines bright! Others will immediately recognize the treasure that is you. As Dr. Seuss says "there is no one youer than you," let people see that and you will undoubtedly inspire and leave a little of yourself behind with the other tumbleweeds. Less than three!
