A celebration of hope. An encounter with grace. A restoration of the heart. A healing of wounds. An anthem of freedom. All Along You Were Blooming is the ultimate love letter from the pen of popular Instagram poet Morgan Harper Nichols to your mind, to your heart, to your soul, and to your body.

There is a purpose in every season, and no matter how you want to race through this day or run away from this place, rest assured that you are invited to live fully—right here, right now. Light will always find you, and even when the sun sets and you sit awaiting the dawn, know you are still blooming in the way you were meant to. And in each small moment, whether in the light or the dark, you can make room for becoming, for breathing, for stumbling, and for simply being—for there is Grace, today and every day.

I have one to share with you. I have always loved This American Life, which I've listened to for decades on NPR, and, thank heavens for the Internet, as a podcast now that I live beyond NPR range. The latest episode is about delight. There are short pieces about people who find joy in their lives. Utterly delightful and a real nudge to do the same.
The food sounds good!
Great finds! Thanks for sharing.
