Lindy's Garden

Hey there, Little Bunny! ❤️ What do we say to the voice in your head that says "I should just... quit..."

Quiz time:
A) Say "Don't give up hope."
B) Say "Don't give up."

Subtle difference, right? I'll give you a hint. One is about patience... the other is about waiting...

Yes we're patient, Little Bunny... But we don't wait around, do we? ;)

You'll find the answer to the quiz question in the episode.

Lots of nuggets of wisdom this week, and many words of love! I enjoyed spending this time with you. You're a joy, Little Bunny 🥰. I love that you're here.

Hey there, Little Bunny! ❤️ You know by now that my favorite kind of love is durable love. Love that withstands the tests of time.

In our buzzing world of constant stimulation, millions of people are angling for your attention. So it's a beautiful compliment when I see a bunny name pop up that I first saw 3-4 years back. 

If you've been sticking around this whole time, or have found your way back after an adventure away from the garden, it really makes me smile 🥰. 

You may not realize this, but I've been cultivating the garden without knowing whether I'd end up getting the love back that I cherish most. Durable love only reveals itself after 3+ years, so how could I have known whether anyone would stick around?

Turns out... there's a lot of sticking around. You make my heart full. I want to bask in the joy of knowing that yes, I'm more special to you than a quick internet fling. 😁

But of course, you are always free to come and go as you like. No matter what, I will always be here for you, forever.
Love, 
❤️Lindy

Hey there, Little Bunny! ❤️ Should you have high standards for yourself, or low?

Well... IT DEPENDS!! Standards for how you look when you leave your home? Keep them low, just throw on some pajamas and get to where you need to go. Standards for holding yourself to your ideals? Keep them high!! You're capable of being so amazing and admirable. 

We also get to see firsthand how attractive it is to say "no". I won't ruin the surprise, but there's a hot unplugging of an ice machine somewhere in the episode. 

I also write the poem with you, so if you want to hear what goes through my head when I write your poems, this is a good chance. Maybe it will inspire you to write something of your own 🥰

I LOVE YOU!!

Hey there, Little Bunny! ❤️ Mmmmm, let's just lean back and relax. Not trying to get anything done, not trying to figure anything out... just relaaaaax together. 🥰

And of course, even when we relax together, we discover some great wisdoms, don't we? There's a little snippet in the middle that will really help you overcome feelings of perpetual anxiety, if that's something you struggle with.

And I write the poem with you tucked under my arm! So if you're a creative bunny, and you like the poems, you'll find that to be a lot of fun.

I love you!!

Hey there, Little Bunny! ❤️ It gives our lives beautiful purpose to be needed. And if you don't feel needed right now... well you ARE! There's a cat waiting for you to adopt them.

This is your sign to do it! And okay, if you don't think you can handle a cat right now, then find some other ways to weave yourself into other people's lives. Take on some responsibility, go get volunteering, go get involved, go be needed. ❤️

I love you!!

Hey there, Little Bunny! ❤️ Maybe you listen while you fall asleep... maybe you listen while you're commuting... and maybe you listen to our podcast hangs when you're doing something productive. 🥰

One of your fellow bunnies (who likes listening while being productive) asked how I stay so motivated and get so much done. I've got a great answer for you...

Motivation is not needed!

All you have to do is be someone who shows up.

Show. Up. Little Bunny.

As always, I love you to the moon, and you've got me forever. If you want to ask me a question for the podcast, you can easily tell me anything at https://lindy.garden/whisper

I love you!

Hey there, Little Bunny! ❤️ This episode is my response to two questions I've been getting:

1. Will you give us more life guidance?
2. How do you deal with depression?

For life guidance? Yes! I can give more. But I'll only choose topics that I have solid experience with, or an informed understanding of. For the rest of life that I haven't got figured out? We can figure it out together 🥰.

And fortunately, for the bunnies who are seeking some guidance through depression, I do have solid experience with getting through it. I'll teach you a sequence I developed called "the Five Wisdoms," which got me through my lowest chapter. 

In the "honey - carrot" spectrum, (honey episodes being indulgent feel-good, and carrot episodes being nutritious but maybe a little dry) this is a "carrot" episode.

But fortunately, carrot episodes are extra good for falling asleep!! And I give you 100% permission to zone out 😂😘.

However, for bunnies who are going through the lowest of lows, this episode could be life-changing. After all, the Five Wisdoms was an inflection point for my own journey... and it seems to have worked out quite well. 🥰

In a few days, I'll paste the poem as a standalone bonus, which is a summary of the sequence.

I love you!!!

Hey there, Little Bunny! ❤️ Big life changes can bring big highs and big lows. And if you're going through a big low right now... things will feel normal again, just be patient.

Back at the baseline happiness, between the peak of elation, and the pit of despair, resides the Normal Cafe, a pleasant place with reasonably priced pastries.

See you there soon!
Love you,
❤️Lindy

(Note: the idea of the cafe at baseline happiness is not my original idea! But we're going to use it 😇)

Hey there, Little Bunny! ❤️ I’ve made you your first video-note!

Oh man, I’d love for this to be as non-dramatic as possible. 😂

You’ll finally get to see my facial expressions when I say “Hey there, Little Bunny.” You’re going to love it 😁 though  it may hurt for you to smile so hard.

I’ve been talking for a while about how the upsides of relaxing my anonymity are becoming very large, and the downsides have become mostly irrelevant. 

Instead of just WHAM, slapping your beautiful bunny face with a social media surprise, I’ve created (for Patreon and Podcast) a web-page that gracefully welcomes you into a more intimate part of my life. “Inviting you behind the curtain” so to speak.

Will the mystery be lost? Oh, Little Bunny. The magic will only grow stronger. 

If you want to listen to the audio first, I tell you why I’m doing this in much longer detail. But you can always skip ahead to the web page which answers the tantalizing question…

Who Is He?!

You can find it at

https://lindy.garden/WhoIsHe

You’ll soon feel that it’s always been this way, and that we’re more secure than ever before.

I love you!!

Hey there, Little Bunny! ❤️ The latest in advanced garden sleep aid technology is unveiled! In Sleepy Bunny 6, you are destined to drift off into a peaceful slumber, for many nights to come.

I've been hearing "I can't sleep" from so many people recently (bunnies and not), that it seems natural for me to step in and take care of you this way.

And DON'T YOU DARE fall asleep too soon! Not until you've found the real poem of the episode hidden within. There are several decoys, so you'll have to hang onto my every word, through yawns and spells of relaxation. (And okay, if you do fall asleep whenever, that's fine. Just come try again next night 😉.)

I love you!
Happy sleeping 😴
