It’s not the best picture, but then again, marjoram isn’t the gaudiest flower. It’s subtle. A Marjoram Week is subtle, too, and like the herb it’s named for, these seven days will be perfumed with sweet spiciness.

I’m delighted to announce that this is a week of secret thrills.

Life gets so exceedingly busy that we can fall into the trap of smelling something sweet and enticing, but not following the scent. This is the week to be beguiled.

Make time to pause and enjoy secret thrills. Follow paths that beckon.

Don’t share the secrets you discover this week. Hold onto them. Knowing that they’ll be private means you can be extra daring. Don’t self-censor. Knock down those cage bars of common sense.

The scent of freedom is invigorating!
