Chapter 1
The abundance of the present
Our theme for our first chapter is abundance. It feels right to think of abundance at this time of year. A veritable glut of produce as well as high holiday consumption of a sort, mingling with holiday thinking time. There is nothing like hot weather to make you do nothing but think deeply. Thinking abundant is a wonderful way to live. It sits apart from having abundant, but feels more like eating the best tomato/ice cream/hot grapes from the vine of your life.

Simplicity in a glass of milk
Simplicity in living has been on my mind – both in how I run my business and in our own lives at home. Why do we long for simple now?
