You are the third person that has reference that particular Thich Nhat Han quote to me in the past few days. I think the universe wants me to hear it! Thanks Robyn.

It’s a good one. Really leaning into it the last few days and he might be right about how powerful it is as a practice.

I love this. Especially what you said about habits. I've never really though about all the negative associations I have with that word.

Thanks, Sara. I've been a big fan of habit stacking in the past--just building one positive habit on top of another to make it all easier. But, I don't know, maybe I just need to be more gentle with myself as I get older. I want to feel less like I'm always acting as my own taskmaster, cracking an endless whip. I'm too exhausted for that. I do still have energy to water seeds or not.
