Tend Your Own Grass

‘The grass is greener on the other side.’

Sure the grass might ACTUALLY be greener over there.

But what you don’t see is all the hard work that went in to making that grass so green - the pulling of weeds, the fertilizing, the faithful consistent watering, etc…

Grass, like all good things, requires tending to flourish.

Don’t just long for the ‘grass’ that someone else has tended. They put in the hard work over there.

You put in the hard work where you are.

Tend your own grass (gifts/relationships/calling/dreams/etc). Cultivate to its flourishing. Put in the time and thoughtfulness it requires of you.

The more of yourself you pour into caring for the things entrusted to you - the greener it will become. But it does take work, intentionality and thoughtfulness.

Keep showing up. Keep being faithful. Your space is becoming vibrant and loved; exuberayting flourishing. Green!

There’s nothing wrong with your grass that a little love can’t remedy. Focus where you are right now. Invest and love there. Do the work there. Transformation doesn’t happen over night, but is DOES happen through love, time and steadfastness. It WILL happen.

And I’m here to cheer you on in all you’re tending, I know it’s a lot and you’re doing an amazing job!
