Gardening Tips
My hope is for all to receive sanctuary and encouragement, including hospitality venues and ideas, conversational meditations, and organic gardening tips. Topics will range from the deeply personal to the light and entertaining, but all with the purpose of uplifting you while encouraging you to think deeply.
Accidental Perma-culturist
I’m addicted to gardening shows. During one watching spree, I tuned into what the gardener was saying, not only what he was doing, as he strolled through the pathways and trails in his backyard urban-lot garden. I realized that his garden’s organized chaos was kind of like mine. He used the word permaculture to describe the plan behind his horticulturist chaos. What is permaculture anyway?
Building my Prayer Practice
I made the mistake of settling in a bit too comfortably in quarantine. In our little peaceful cocoon, I got used to our calming cadence so much so that I forgot about the angst of normal life. I was lulled into a nap.
Double Trouble Chocolate Cake
Today is my grandsons, Jack and Luke’s, birthdays. In their honor I’d like to share their favorite chocolate cake recipe.
