Welcome to Threads of Wisdom, a mini-episode series within Simply Hooked: A Crochet Podcast. In this episode, I explore the profound concept of the Law of Growth, inspired by Earl Shoaff’s teachings on success and personal development.

Just like planting seeds in a garden, achieving your dreams requires intention, patience, and consistent nurturing. I’ll share Shoaff’s timeless wisdom on how small, daily actions can steer you toward your goals, the importance of trusting the process, and how growth often happens invisibly before it blooms into success.

Whether you’re learning a new crochet technique, starting a business, or pursuing personal growth, this episode is here to inspire you to embrace the journey—one stitch at a time.
