Episode 1 - Celebrating Women's History Month

Slowing down whether we like it or not has it's virtues. The things we had placed on the back burner ever are now simmering on the front of the stove. As a person with a creative mindset, this opportunity to pause has stirred up the mulch in my mind and a seed has started to sprout again.

Have you ever had a dream of speaking with someone you felt like you would be gardening buddies with? Well, I do all the time. Sometimes I am hesitant to ask just because. Fear of hearing No (FOHN)...I am working on this!

I am on the second reading of an awesome book. One day I had the nerve to ask Jennifer Jewell, author, The Earth In Her Hands - 75 Extraordinary Women Working In the World of Plants to share a few moments with me. An event that I was looking forward to attending at the Smithsonian was postponed due to our National Emergency and Jennifer was one of the panelists. Not one to postpone joy, I knew that I needed to meet her either in person or over the phone. Timber Press - THANK YOU !!! This is truly a winning book that everyone needs to read. It introduces us to a diverse group of real gardeners, REAL women who are involved in horticulture. I hope you enjoy our chat.

I love poetry and I found a simple one that is shard after this conversation. Poetry, like the garden, makes life just a little more palatable.

Go outside, go into the garden, make time to enjoy life, connect with nature and most importantly, try to safely enjoy this opportunity to pause...YOLO!
