My mother is amazingly diligent about using the bounty from her orchard; she has a large chest freezer that is filled with fruit and a pantry filled with jelly and jam.\u00a0 What she can\u2019t put up she offers to the neighbors and shares with the local food bank.<\/p>\n<p>This is the metaphor of bounty I want to reflect on this week and throughout the year.\u00a0 I\u2019ll share more on Friday, feel free, as always, to add to the conversation, your comments add mineral to the mulch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the new decade, new year, new month, new week, new day, new moment.\u00a0 As is often the case I am reflecting on lessons learned in the past year, reflecting on what was right and what was wrong in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[37,88,96],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-327","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-art","category-inspiration","category-spiritual"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
