Spent today in the garden and with client work… and it struck me again how similar the two really are.
Nothing happens all at once.
Not in the soil~
Not in our work~
And most certainly~ not in our lives~!
We plan in layers~
We build in layers~
We grow in layers~
Some things are being planted.
Some are quietly taking root.
Some are finally ready to be seen.
Perennial Planning isn’t about forcing everything to bloom at the same time~ it’s about understanding when each layer belongs. Because when things are layered well, we can do more… without carrying everything all at once.
A great mentor and friend of mine always refers back to Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott consistently~ and this is another good time to bring it up.
So wherever you are today~ planting, tending, or harvesting~
You’re in your season.
Where are you working right now~ what layer are you in? 🌿
