Back in the day, two years ago when I first moved to Atlanta, I used to work in a garden.
Yep. I wasn't Ol' McDonald or anything like that, but my mom is a farmer for a living, so eventually I know I would get pulled into it.
Over the years I realized how much peace it gave me and how I learned a lot about not just growing my own food, but about myself and how I should patience with everything I've been going through since I've moved here.
I stopped coming to the farm cause I had so much on my mind and I was working on so much I lost track of it. But I went through something last night that carried over today and I was still down until my mom invited me back into the garden.
So I started back growing again! I planted my seeds for the winter: Brussel sprouts, spinach, beets and collard greens ☺️
I even harvested some okra, mint, ginger, rosemary, and sage.
The okra is for dinner (obviously), I make teas with the mint and ginger for healthy digestion, and the rosemary and sage I let dry up so I use it to burn for my rituals and cleansing.
I watered some plants, turned some soil, pulled weeds, and took pictures of all the flowers that blooms in the summertime.
I took my time on the farm because I really want to get back on track on things I used to do. Everything was so different when I wasn't worried about making money or my man or other problems I had going on. I was HAPPY. HAPPY AF if that.
I'm not saying that I want to let making money or my man go, but my happiness will be top priority from now on.
Comment on you what you want to work on before the year is out, because this is my main goal for the rest of the year 🤘🏾
