Candace, the only reward I am after for my small efforts on Substack is to touch hearts. You affirmed that my efforts are not always in vain.

Also, I want to add something: there is always goodness in the world, and often when we least expect it, but need it most.

Yes! I love that addendum, Switter, and I might even go one step further and say that it happens when we need it most, but sometimes aren't even aware we need it. I love how the universe always knows, though, and these moments of goodness and connection still find us.

Thank you again for always sharing your stories with such humor and insight, and please know your efforts are absolutely not in vain 🙏

I have heard it said that sometimes our prayers are answered even before we realize we need to pray.

Candace, I feel so honored to see my words here! Thanks so much, you made my day. I love all of the ones you featured, but Switter and Donna particularly touched me. At the same time, I believe that when we live with intent, showing kindness and good will towards others, the unexpected positive, or the miracle as Einstein explained it, is more likely to happen because we have created the conditions that cause it to happen.

"...the unexpected positive, or the miracle as Einstein explained it, is more likely to happen because we have created the conditions that cause it to happen."

That's so beautiful, Joan, and I couldn't agree more -- I absolutely believe we live in a kind of invisible but very real relationship with the universe, and you've put such perfect words to how I feel that relationship works. Thank you so much again for being here, and for always sharing such thoughtful comments 🤍

I love when you share quotes from others so am delighted that you chose one of mine❤ I find the Dandelion Seeds community to be a beautiful, heart centered space and I love coming here, thank you Candace Rose!

Donna, your comment just made my day, especially your words about Dandelion Seeds being a heart-centered space -- I'd never quite thought of it like that before, but that's exactly what I hope to create here every week and I'm so glad you can sense it. Thank you so much! 🤍

Love your idea to make this a regular feature. And love your painting of the view of the mountains from the plane.

Love that Einstein quote

Me too. I think it has a corollary: don’t pray for miracles, expect them.

"Don’t pray for miracles, expect them." Love it!

What a wonderful gift to see the wisdom of others brought forward! Indeed, there are many moments in life worth savoring and enjoying, even if they seem small.

It may be a quote that inspires some, but it’s very hard to document that this actuality comes from Einstein. Apparently there’s an entire ‘industry’ generating fake quotes, especially Einstein ones.

Thank you, Joy! I appreciate you bringing that to my attention, as I hadn't heard that about this quote before.
