Keep Growing, Your Season is Near

Greetings Glitter Crew,

Hooray, it’s wild blackberry season up in the PNW which means homemade jams and cobbler galore! As I’m gathering these berries full of sugary dreams, I can’t help but reflect on life.

Anyone who has blackberry bushes knows they’re a pain. The thorns are relentless. They snatch your clothing and leave wicked scratches on your skin. They grow year round, in the harshest of conditions.

If they are so awful, why would anyone keep the bushes around? Because of the reward…three weeks with a plethora of the sweetest and juiciest berries!

Believe it or not, your life is a blackberry bush. Most days are not glamorous, there are more thorns than berries. So why do you persevere?

Because you know, deep down inside, through your difficult trial there is a season waiting for you to bloom. You know this because you’ve been through hard things before and you’re still breathing. It didn’t destroy you. You still keep coming back year after year. So yes, you can go again!

XOXO,

Linda
