I love the symbolism of that! Just keep tending the soil around those roots...and one day, you've got something yummy to show for it. Whether you're cultivating a relationship with a client or you're the one pitching a book deal. <3

Congratulations on 5 deals in 3 weeks!! Apparently they were seeds being watered and waiting for the right time to bloom. Our thicket of perennial asparagus got overrun by weeds and we kind of forgot about them. Now they've bolted. Not sure of what kind of metaphor to make here, I'll have to give it some thought ...

No book deals but my peach tree lived through our -29 winter so all in all, the first week of May was a banger.
