As we continue our journey through the sunflower’s story, we have reached a season that feels quieter than some of the earlier stages. The sunflower is no longer just beginning to grow or stretching toward the light for the first time. It has matured, and now the invitation is to remain connected to the source…

Good morning, friend. If we were sitting across the table from one another this morning, coffee between us, I think I would tell you about something I’ve been noticing as I’ve written my book and spent so much time looking back through more than thirty years of journals.
