  • When things get busy, growth in the garden tends to get overlooked. As I entered the garden this morning, a lime butterfly flew away. I had missed its metamorphosis. It was munching the leaves of my lime plant just 10 days ago, and I lost sight of it when it went into pupation. Goodbye, I wished it in my mind. 🦋

Our third loofah was harvested today. The first two gourds had matured before we even noticed them, and by then it was too late to harvest them to eat. So they'll remain on the vine to dry. 🥒

Some things can still be enjoyed past their maturity but some moments, when missed, are lost forever. While you are busy in your busyness, have you forgotten what's important? Have you missed out on what truly matters? I'll be spending a little more time in my garden today. How about you?

  • Recap: Last week, we facilitated a special session for those in helping professions. It was an opportunity for them to focus on themselves for a change, and to appreciate that some things are easier to accomplish with help 💚 Kudos to the group of professionals who demonstrate compassion and empathy in their work daily.
