Y'all know that I love a good quote: after all, it's one of the opening questions I have asked each one of my guests for the podcast, and today is no different. However, I'd love to throw in a bonus quote for you today from a famous movie that includes fried green tomatoes, the Whistle Stop Cafe, and Fannie Flagg. "It's funny when you're a child, you think time will never go by, but when you hit about twenty, time passes like you're on the fast train to Memphis. I guess life just slips up on everybody. It sure did on me." I find this quote so relevant to both the conversation in this episode and as we navigate through this third half of life. Today's guest is dear to my heart and actually the mom of Melissa Stecher, who I chatted to all the way back in episode 14. Kim Stetcher is a devout Catholic Christian and keener than her beans gardener. Listen in as we chat about:
Building a circle of love. A prayer group that has been going strong since 2004 and provided phenomenal support even more than anyone thought possible.
How Kim's gardening love has developed and played a part in her life through her dad, family, mentors, and working career. Starting small with seeds and now growing to schedules, plans, and all the wisdom along the way.
The difference between heirloom seeds can make and how Kim's family is now on board to build a legacy and help her produce enough to share with friends, family and support services in the community.
How to start, even if you're a complete beginner. The benefits of growing your own produce and how easy it can be to start with a seed.
Kim is developing ways to share her wisdom and skills, and in the meantime, I invite you to reach out to me with any questions and comments at teachingyourselftolearn@gmail.com or via the website www.teachingyourselftolearn.com.
