🌿Life Hack: Get to know your neighbors better. In fact I bet there would be a lot more of us with fresh local ingredients if we knew our neighbors. I found out like a week ago that our neighbor across the road had 5 laying hens in her (very small suburban) backyard. And she found out that I grow a large variety of herbs, bake fresh bread, & have lots of compost scraps for her chickens. We’re friends now and I walk over with my dog once a week to barter something.

At the very least you’ll foster a better sense of community. 🐤

❝She smiled at me, and I felt a sudden burning tenderness for this creature so like fruit and roses.❞

my mom taught me the therapeutic power of cleaning. open all the windows. throw out the old. wipe down the entire house. burn some incense. roast some coffee. then rest. that way the tears from last night don’t feel as heavy. 

6 Fruits You Should Try

earthly activities

1. plant herbs. it’s not very difficult and doesn’t take up much space.

Danielle Nierenberg, President of Food Tank, shares a sustainability pro-tip in honor of Earth Day. Instead of wasting leftover pasta water by pouring it down the sink, you can save it, let it cool and use it to water your plants. The starchy H2O will give them a beneficial nutrient boost and help them grow. Just be sure to avoid using cooking water that has been salted or seasoned.

This also applies to leftover water from boiling spinach, potatoes, and hardboiled eggs, according to Reader’s Digest.

this definitely is an amazing thing to plants, it gives them a boost like NOTHING that can be bought in stores. ive had an orange plant that didnt bloom for years and then gave them some pasta/potato water twice a week, and now its blooming like crazy , pretty much over night. and plants that were looking kind of drawn are looking BEAUTIFUL!

I’m telling you, if you struggle with sexuality, Jesus loves you. If you struggle with chronic lying, Jesus loves you. If you struggle with laziness, Jesus loves you. If struggle with gossip, Jesus still loves you. If struggle with bag language, Jesus still loves you. If struggle with anger, Jesus still loves you. If struggle with respect, Jesus still loves you. If struggle with modesty, Jesus still loves you. If struggle with lust, Jesus still loves you. If struggle with addiction, Jesus still loves you. If struggle with pride, Jesus still loves you.

He can get you past it, but He’s going to love you all the way through it.
