I believe we each have gardens we are working on inside of us. I call them the gardens of our souls. Our challenging experiences give us the opportunity to let the weeds and dangerous plant life grow or do the WORK to keep our gardens healthy and strong. When we grow from our experiences, we produce seeds.
Not all growth is healthy. Sometimes we are required to do some weeding to give energy to what is best for OUR gardens. Some seeds may look great in other people’s gardens, but don’t thrive in ours. There is a lot that goes into why and how gardens grow.
When we start seeing each person is growing, nurturing, and/or neglecting their own gardens, we begin to understand that it’s important to look at what we are growing in OUR own. It may have taken us some hard lessons to be able to grow the magnificent plant life we have, but the true gift is when it starts producing seeds we can give to others. These are the seeds of wisdom.
The Seeds of Wisdom series isn’t about forcing people to plant seeds either. This series is all about celebrating each other’s beautiful growth. We may decide to nurture growth that is already in our gardens, weed out the what’s not serving us, plant new seeds, or simply just get a little insight into the growth in someone else’s garden.
No two gardens are exactly alike…that’s why I love hearing other people’s perspectives of growth from a loving place—a place of experience, strength, courage, and authenticity. I’m so excited to have the opportunity to share these conversations with anybody who wants to plant some extraordinary seeds in their own gardens. We each get to choose what we want to plant and nurture, yet we can still appreciate the beautiful plant life others have to offer.
With that, we begin our journey!
Each week I will be presenting you with a seed of wisdom from a special guest. It will be approximately a 20-minute conversation that you will be able to watch and/or listen to across the From A Loving Place with Author Rachael Wolff platforms, which include Facebook, YouTube, and From A Loving Place podcast available on multiple podcast-streaming platforms. The From A Loving Place blog will have additional features like their long bio, website, book(s) links, promotions, and/or social media information for a more in-depth dive into who is sharing their seeds with you.
I’m so excited to bring you on this amazing journey with me. Consciously exploring the seeds people have to offer us is truly a wonderful gift. Every time I think about it, I’m reminded how mesmerizing it is to visit gardens. I love the AWE I feel when I see a tree, plant, or flower that I’ve never seen before. Then, there is the AWE that stays with me no matter how many times I see certain plant life, like the banyan tree. I never stop feeling the AWE in its presence.
This first batch of seeds I’ve picked personally from a group of professionals, authors, and influencers who are committed to spreading seeds of wisdom to the world. I hope you enjoy digging deep, because we are in for quite the adventure.
