|
Hello Reader This week I did something small that felt surprisingly meaningful. I took a single cutting of Leaf of Life from a neighbor's yard, planted it in a pot, and hung it in a crochet hanger I made myself. No big backyard. No fancy setup. Just one intentional step toward growing what I consume. Leaf of Life (Bryophyllum pinnatum) is one of those plants many of us in Jamaica grew up around, but slowly stopped reaching for. And I'm on a mission to change that for myself, and maybe for you too. In this week's blog post, I'm sharing:

Hello Reader, Today is my birthday ๐ and I will be honest with you - this one feels different. It is more intentional than birthdays have felt in a long time. This week, I decided to enter a new year of life on my own terms. Not pretending I have everything figured out.
