This is the story of a neglected garden and a disappearing act.

This is the first half of a two-part conversation on why we're beginning this new year by saying "No!" loud and clear.

Ordinary life is a gift offered to each one of us, but did you know that ordinary life isn't actually inevitable? That ordinary life--with all of its wonder and beauty--is actually soil to be tended?

One of the most important ways we're tending the ground of our lives this year is by saying "No." We invite you to listen, and we invite you to join us this year in growing smaller in order to gain so much.
