The Legacy Gardener

Many years ago, I was diving into the world of podcasts for the first time, (yes, I know, late to the game) and I came across a soothing voice in a noisy world. Lara Casey. Her walks in the garden combined with her encouraging advice guided me home in some very uncertain times. She tells her story from a place of honesty and humility and literally reminds women they have hope hidden within them, they just have to look for it. Her favorite phrase grants the freedom to find a life that can be well-lived to those searching for answers. “You know all those things you have always wanted to do? You should go do them.” These words made so much of a difference for me.

If you are looking for a break. Some peace. A change. Some truth. Permission even. If you are looking for words that will lift you and remind you there are things that matter and you should find them, look no further than the woman who is granting life-changing words of legacy to her listeners. Add to that her amazing line of journals and planners that help you focus on setting goals that matter, and you have one of my top ten favorite inspirational people. If you have not yet had the pleasure of knowing who she is, let me lead you in the right direction. Check out her website at laracasey.com and see what she is cultivating today.

Looking for more stories and adventures? No matter which way you go, I pray the next set of words will be exactly what your heart was looking for.

Prove It

The battle of what is true and what is not can only be won within our minds and hearts. Don't let all the confusion fool you . . . it is personal.

Just Stop

We just keep walking. We see that person hurting and we turn the other way thinking we have nothing to offer. But what if we are wrong?

Breaking Bad

While most of my stories in flash fiction are, well, fiction, this one actually has some element of truth. It took forever to clean that up.

My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
