If there's anyone you should be setting up for success, it's yourself. Take care of you! Make sure you have iced coffee in the fridge for the next day, that you're taking the time to rest and aren't filling every moment of your schedule, have solid boundaries, and/or whatever else helps you feel supported! ⠀

Eleanor Roosevelt herself even planted a Victory Garden on the front lawn of the white house to spread the message that abundant yields were possible for any aspiring gardener, and that we should share our food with neighbors in need. Without a doubt, these gardens are a lovely demonstration of possibility, community, and the #ConspiracyOfGoodness!⠀
