Practicing Positivity
“HOW DO YOU TAKE CARE OF SO MANY PLANTS?” This is always the first question people ask me when they walk through my door. My front porch is home to a few dozen plants. It leads to the jungle of my living room, where hundreds of plants hang from my ceiling or grow happily on counters, windowsills, and plant stands.

To Admire
THE ANTIDOTE TO PESSIMISM is admiration. It sounds so simple, but the counterpoint to dwelling on what is missing is to affirm what is already here. To live a life of admiration is to name what is uplifting in the world and, through our love and attention, to discern how what matters works, so we can bring it to bear on all that life offers. Through admiration, we address what is missing the way light addresses dark.
