Mindful Leader, Retire by Fire, Reaping What You Sow

A practice is a combination of an intention, an aspiration, and an action. Grounded in the depth and simplicity of his experience of leading a Zen monastery kitchen, Marc Lesser unpacks the richness of mindfulness in his book, Seven Practices of a Mindful Leader. With success stories, exercises, experiments, and activities, we’ll be able to implement the seven practices into our daily lives.

An exploding community of people are increasing their finances by frugal living as they save and invest with the goal of early retirement. This movement is called F.I.R.E. which stands for “financial independence, retire early.” Money is connected to the quality of life. Are you ready to fuel your fire?

As gardeners, we know we need to be careful what we plant now because it will determine what we will reap tomorrow. Your garden needs to be a reflection of you. What are you drawn to? Let your eyes, heart, and knowledge of your specific soil and micro-climate make the decisions. Buy healthy seeds, plants, and trees and trees from reputable retailers. Remember you will reap what you sow!
