Why the Leaf?

A bit of playful whimsy, a flight of the imagination,
mixed with some thoughts about the affirmation of the positive strengths and energy nature and the universe provide all around us.

Leaves are each unique and represent a beauty
that is one of the marvels of nature's cycle of life.

 It is with this universal positive energy that Shone Link Associates is guided in website design to bring the uniqueness of 'your story' alive.

"...Be still long enough to hear your own leaves rustling."   

           Karen Shragg has written a poem

that reflects strengths we can draw from trees

THINK LIKE A TREE

Soak up the sun
Affirm life's magic
Be graceful in the wind
Stand tall after a storm
Feel refreshed after it rains
Grow strong without notice
Be prepared for each season
Provide shelter to strangers
Hang tough through a cold spell
Emerge renewed at the first signs of spring
Stay deeply rooted while reaching  for the sky

Be still long enough to
hear your own leaves rustling.
Karen Shragg
