Let Yourself Grow
I recently came across a magazine clipping while flipping through my inspiration files and must share it with you! I’ve had it for awhile and can’t remember what magazine I found it in. If you know, please contact me! I hope you find it as inspiring as I do :).
Somewhere between the life you have and the life you want lies the quiet seed of potential. With each new thing you do — the friend you make, the garden you plant, the risks you take — it begins to open up. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, a new life of your making starts to sprout, taking root and fanning its damp leaves in the open air. But like all tender young things it requires attention, enough rest, enough sustenance to thrive. This month, give yourself plenty of what you need — maybe even a little bit extra. Get more sleep. Take a chance. Taste a new food. And watch things grow.
