Good morning && Happy Wednesday! I’m so sorry I missed last week. The days have truly been slipping away from me 😅 Here’s the quote that was the reminder I needed this week and I hope you like it too:
“You are not a machine. You are more like a garden. You need different things on different days. A little sun today, a little less water tomorrow. You have fallow and fruitful seasons. It is not a design flaw. It is wiser than perpetual sameness. What does your garden need today?” - Joy Marie Clarkson ✨
Give yourself grace. Give yourself rest. Give yourself permission to not do everything all at once. It can wait, I promise. Learn to let go of things you can’t control. If you expect to be able to do everything at once all the time, you will burn out. You will be disappointed. Give in to yourself. Give into your garden.
I think sometimes real growth is happening quietly, beneath the surface, where no one can see it… the roots. When you take care of your roots, when you strengthen your roots, your foundation, you are strengthening your soul. And in the end your garden will be able to withstand anything.
So tell me, what does your garden need today? 🌻
Trust your journey. Rest your soul. Leave people better than you found them and have the day you need and fantastic rest of your week 👽🫶🏻🧿
