Okay, I did it again. I tossed rose petals on my front walk (the roses were left from the Literary Ladies book club I met with last Saturday) last week to welcome the ancestors (& bring good luck). This week I got a great contract gig, an offer to blog on another site (for $!) and a request to teach a writing workshop next month. Last year when I did it, I got an unexpected check in the mail.
Strewing flowers to welcome the ancestors is something I got from Stephanie Rose Bird and is something one of the characters in Children of the Waters does.
Try it y'all! Worse case scenario: you'll have a pretty walk. Best case: good luck!
This is an actual photo (last year's was clip art).

Hey, what a great idea! I like it a lot and I'm glad to hear you got a gig you like. I don't think I'll try it myself...I'm hiding out from my live relatives. ;)
I learn so much from you. Thanks for this. I will have to try it a few times.
Congrats on all the many blessings coming your way.
Congratulations on the new writing gig. Casting roses across your path, huh? Sounds almost as good as Fairy Godmother! ;)
I'll have to give this a try. Very cool!
And, congrats on all the good news!
What great news!
Glad to hear that you've got some good writing gigs. I'll have to try the rose petal on the walk thing.
Wow! And congratulations on all the good things happening in your life!
Wonderful!
That is really cool. I'm going to try it. Beautiful visual.
