Christmas Lemon Trees & Blackberries
Today, since Christmas is coming up, we will talk about lemons and blackberries.
I know, I know – what does THAT have to do with Christmas?
I want to tell you a couple of stories from my life that involved lemons and blackberries, and what I learned about abundance.
At this time of year, when we all make our lists of things we want, and of things to give, maybe it is the perfect time to really understand abundance.
This is going to be fun and sweet... cause, you know, blackberries! Yum.
