For a Long Time, I Have Dreamed of putting together a book of favorite recipes, ideas for interiors, and reflections on faith, family, and love. With Growing Seasons, I want to inspire and encourage readers to step into each day with courage and to embrace every season of life-whether that's a time of warmth and abundance or a time of wintery blues. Walking through the calendar year from January to December, this book's twelve chapters feature ideas and insights that I hope will help you to grow as you move through whatever season you are in. Just as each month has its own specific character, each season of life has its own unique challenges and opportunities, all with valuable life lessons to teach us. And that, simply put, is the heart and soul of this book. I hope that these pages are nourishing to you, wherever you are in your journey.
