    SHARES VALUABLE LIFE GUIDING LESSONS WHILE OFFERING HOPE
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2021*

The Twelve Gifts from the Garden is the perfect guide for helping readers take a walk through a garden or any natural environment and make discoveries about life’s lessons along the way.  Every chapter is an example from Charlene’s own experiences in nature and shows us how to do this, starting with how to be present and how to carefully observe what we see, be it a plant, a tree, roots of a tree, an animal, an insect – anything that catches our attention – and to observe it from all sides and angles so that we don’t jump to hasty and possibly mistaken conclusions. Being open is only one of the many lessons in this book. Every chapter offers something valuable. I appreciate how Charlene often uses personal examples from her own life to help us understand the lesson and see how it applies.  In one chapter, Charlene recalls seeing the damage on Sanibel Island for the first time after Hurricane Irma and asking, “How do we maintain equanimity through all of life’s losses and gains?” It was not until I read this chapter a second time that I saw its relevance to the difficulty I was having in moving past the sadness of my mom’s passing.  Charlene’s answer to the question, at least in part is: “Noticing the good, finding the gifts, and recognizing the blessings.”  Without even noticing, I had been focusing attention primarily on my loss rather than on the blessing that my mom has always been in my life.  I did not judge myself for this as Charlene reminds her readers. I did shift my focus and started a daily practice of acknowledging Mom - and all my blessings - and giving thanks. Thank you, Charlene, for your guidance in this chapter and all the other lessons you have shared in this remarkable book.  Linda Simon

    A Gift For Your Soul
  

*by K***C on Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2020*

Charlene's book is a work of art (and a work of heart)!  Her essays will nurture and soothe your soul.  Charlene sees the world like no one else.  She can look at the trunk of a tree and discover a life lesson.  When she sees a certain palm she renames it the "pom pom tree".  She says that the tree reminds her of a cheerleader's pom-poms waving in the wind.  She goes on to say "this tree's got spirit"!  What a wonderful way to describe a tree!  That is just one of the many beautiful and unique ways that she describes the things she sees in the garden.  Her way with words and her unique perspective of the world is truly inspiring and so very comforting.  I highly recommend this book.  I will be buying several to give as gifts - a perfect stocking stuffer!!

    Beauty for the Soul
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2021*

The Twelve Gifts from the Garden can be read from cover-to-cover, in consecutive order, designed for daily moment-to-moment blessings, or randomly, enjoying single passages by topic. It truly doesn’t matter, for you will find words so beautiful, they melt the soul. And through Charlene Costanzo’s humble voice, you feel the articulate message of humanness expressed through her words. They may linger with you throughout the day, or take you to another image in your mind which is provoked by her message.Many flowers are introduced but it’s not simply just about a flower, it’s like being given an intimate chance to know a particular beauty of nature beyond the visual form.Charlene’s passages go beyond flowers. It’s about connection, honoring ancestors, and our own personal well-being. It’s about listening to the grace found in nature that is speaking to us, so loudly and gently.-- A Fellow Writer
