Thank you for sharing your kind words with me. I honestly think the most rewarding and amazing part of gardening is waiting for the miracles to unfold. I'm so glad you experienced such goodness with your first gardening experience. So glad to meet you Megan. I look forward to a long friendship :) Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03872899189875117518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527178868601047846.post-34495211360128398032013-01-09T12:50:20.829-06:002013-01-09T12:50:20.829-06:00I completely agree with you about resolutions. I ...I completely agree with you about resolutions. I try to avoid demanding perfection from myself and don't like to set myself up to fail...I would rather inspire and believe that I can move in a certain direction with gentle encouragement from myself. Intentional has been ringing in my heart since you shared it with me. Thank you! Wow, I didn't realize you were far away in Texas. I'm very excited to read your blog. The spiritual aspect of gardening shines through in your passion. This past summer was the first time my husband and I grew anything...we planted a community garden with a group of neighbors and were startled by how enjoyable it was for us to see miracles unfold before us from the ground.

I personally appreciate its sentiments, too.

I have felt that I have been spread thin these past several years which has taken me from the people and things that I love most. Maybe the right word will find me soon. Best wishes to you Cat for a very intentional year! I look forward to reading about your adventures in the garden and your beautiful photos!
