“There’s a version of the life you want that you can live today.” - Me
I often get stuck focusing on what I don’t have.
My dream is to have several acres of land, a small farm, a huge studio, and a tiny home. But today, I don’t even have a backyard. I’ve watched videos about growing plants in buckets for years, but I never actually started.
Last Sunday, while talking with my brother about gratitude, I said: “There’s a version of the life I want that I can have today.” I realized that out of all the people I know, surely someone would let me set up a small table in their yard where I can start a small garden.
That day, I committed to finding a home for my garden, and within 24 hours, I found one. I spent $29.24 on a 5-gallon bucket, two bags of soil, and seeds for tomatoes and cucumbers. On Tuesday, I planted my seeds, and Wednesday I brought my setup to QC Family Tree, where I’ll visit and care for them regularly.
Each week, I plan to add two more buckets and more soil, with the goal of growing the garden to eight buckets.
Test drive your dreams.
What’s a life you aspire to — and what’s a version of it you can live today?
