Once again I am left in tears. "Everything is sweeter in season." Can I be so bold as to say another "prophetic" lightning strike into my heart? I know this in my head but the journey to my heart seems like an endless marathon. Is that a thing? I crave the contentment that this phrase brings. Thank you.
"I know this in my head but the journey to my heart seems like an endless marathon. Is that a thing?" I love this line so much, Mom, and that journey to the heart is such a familiar one for me as well ( I feel like I'm on it again right now even). Thank you for sharing your beautiful words here -- and for helping shape this story, too! 🍓
Thinking in seasons for my creative work is such a much more pleasant way to live life. There is so much less resistance. Thanks for yet another beautiful illustrated essay!
Yes! You've nailed it, Jason -- that's exactly the thing about our creative work needing less energy and resources when it's the right season for a story or project...the word "resistance" hadn't come to mind yet, and I'm so grateful you named it here 🙌
I'm so glad I could send some of Belgium's bounty your way last week, Marlee, and I can only imagine the delights to be found in your own farmer's market 😍 Thank you so much for reading and being here.
A delightful reminder to BE HERE NOW. Your piece has me pondering why our food manufacturing systems, like our brains themselves, are equipped with machinery that can produce and distribute fruits from another season, thoughts of another time and place, when all the world we need is right here in front of us.
"When all the world we need is right here in front of us." Wow -- these are such powerful words, Jill, and I'm so grateful to you for sharing them here. Thank you so much as always for reading and being here 🤍🙏✨
Thank you so much, Kelcey! By the way, I'm just loving the stories you've been sharing lately -- hope you have a great time at the festival you wrote about this week 😍
Thank you so much, Vicki! I'm so glad this resonated with you -- and with the equinox coming up this weekend, here's to a new season of working with the flow, and not against it :) 🍓
I’m not happy that my pickles come from India, my blueberries come from Chile, Peru, or Canada, etc., when they all grow here, except the pickles, which are part grown and part made. I wonder if they use big nets filled with cucumbers and tow them across the Pacific behind a tug boat?

I absolutely adore this metaphor!
Thank you, Amrei! I'm so glad it spoke to you 🍓
Just like one of the principles from Kendra Adachi: “live in your season!”
Ohh, I so needed to hear those four words right now. Thank you for sharing them, Renee 🤍
Beautiful
Thank you!
That plum. Those cherries. That basket of strawberries. Yum! I can taste them all.
We are enjoying our local farmers market in Holt, Michigan. What a wonderful time of year this is!
Thanks, Candace, for touching me with your words and images.

What a beautiful reminder of a simple (but profound) lesson! ❤️
Thank you so much, Kelcey! By the way, I'm just loving the stories you've been sharing lately -- hope you have a great time at the festival you wrote about this week 😍
Needed simplicity today, here it is…
I'm so glad this resonated with you, Susan 🤍
Yes, everything has its own time 🙏🏻 lovely and truthful words! 🍓
Thank you, Emy! 🍓
Yes, indeed. "To everything there is a season..."
Yes! Those words were very much on my mind as I worked on this 🤍
Beautiful, and so true in all domains of life! What a welcome reminder to stop trying to push against the flow ❤️

Love this!
Thank you, Lyric! 🍓

Fresh, homegrown and homemade are best.
"Fresh, homegrown and homemade are best." Yes! You said it best, Switter 🙌
I have a similar motto, living here in mexico. It all tastes so much better when it's in season and fresh. And less energy expended!
Ahh I can only imagine what a bounty you have to enjoy in Mexico, enjoy it for all of us 😍
What a great story!✨
Thank you, Trudi!
