You are Enough
The Quote of the Day…..So true, friends…so true. Have a good day! It’s easy to feel uncared for when people aren’t able to communicate and connect with you in the way you need. And it’s so hard not to internalize that silence as a reflection on your worth. But the truth is that the way other people operate is not about you. Most people are so caught up in their own responsibilities, struggles, and anxiety that the thought of asking someone else how they’re doing doesn’t even cross their mind. They aren’t inherently bad or uncaring — they’re just busy and...

Fear doesn’t frighten me as much as it used to. I know it’s from clinging and I know it will pass. I can tell myself, “I’m frightened now because even though I know what’s true, I have forgotten it right now. I know the possibility of remembering exists.” That possibility, that conviction, gives me a lot of hope in the middle of the biggest fright. – Sylvia Boorstein Hello all! For whatever reason, I have had a great many calls and emails from people experiencing tremendous fear and anxiety today. Maybe it’s solar flares or war, maybe it’s the heat and...
Read MoreWe’ve Moved and Some Cool New Stuff
Hello all! I know it’s been forever since I posted, but I did want to come along to say hello 🙂 A lot has happened, as many of you know. The house and old office sold, I spent 40 days wandering in the desert on a life-changing retreat, I’ve moved a couple times, and much, more more. There have been many changes in the business as well, so I wanted to post a quick update. First, I have landed in a really cool office space in Webster. There is great parking, it’s centrally located and a great space in which to work. Next, I want to update you on some cool new services...

Hello all! First, I wanted to say thanks to everyone who stopped by for the Sustainable Yard Tour. I think we had about 100 or so people here, and a good time was had by all. We met a lot of other garden geeks and seed savers, as well as a great number of local foodies and just all around cool people. We were also able to connect with Andy from the International Institute, about the cool project they are doing, called the Global Farms Initiative. The International Institute Global Farms Initiative is an agriculture-based career training program for refugees with two training locations:...

Hello All! Welcome to the new Blessings Site and streamlined blog! We have had many changes, including an updated website and change in the way we do a lot of things here. More info and posts are forthcoming, I promise. In the meantime, I wanted to share a smile. During this time, when it seems as though most of the folks in suits can’t figure out how to get along and play nicely with each other, I thought perhaps an alternative perspective might be in order. Many fun things are happening these days and there are still lots of neat people, neat ideas and fun to be had. Given...
Read MoreBedtime Stories….
It’s getting late. I’ve been around family today, acutely aware of the ways in which the sand passes through the hourglass of time and spills into some unknown place, taking pieces of us with it. I’m not sure where those pieces go, what process they undergo on their way to becoming a memory, a fragment of the self held in a time and a place only accessible to the mind and body in the form of remembrance. Invisible, ineffable, yet completely tangible in some mysterious way that defies the logic of hard science. The stories of a person, a family, a culture, a country—they hold us, bind us...
