Sometimes life has a way of feeling overwhelming and overgrown, don’t you think? We get stuck and tangled in weeds of old habits, choked by the vines of worries and neglect, or even forget that we have seeds of knowledge buried deep inside of us that are waiting to bloom and show their beauty to the world.
The Garden Inside is a blog that I am building with a simple, powerful belief: That our minds, hearts, bodies, and souls are like gardens. They need maintenance, nurturing, patience, and practice to thrive.
Here we are learning how to become patient gardeners while getting to know more of ourselves in the process.
We take time to explore how to till the soil of our past for better nurturing of our growth, plant seeds of intention, and pull the weeds of self-doubt, while pushing ourselves and reaching new heights along the way.
So now, you might be asking… Who is this gardener behind all of these posts?
Hi! It’s me, Tarlow.
While brainstorming how I wanted to share all of this information, I realized I wanted to stay anonymous here. My reason is that my focus is on the messages themselves, the garden. Not the gardener.
The growth and practices are what matter here, not who I am or what I wear, or how many cars I drive (if you really want to know how many cars I drive, that answer is zero).
But here are a few facts I can tell you about myself. I am not a guru or some expert with all the answers. I am just a student of my own life, in the classroom we all share. A wanderer and traveler who has walked through the overgrown, neglected gardens of my creation and over time, I have slowly learned how to find the light back in my garden.
I feel we all have a superpower that is waiting to be unveiled. And mine is transforming the mud and mess I’ve walked through into seeds that might help other gardens grow.
I’m so glad you found my blog. The best place to start is with the first post I published, “The Doorknob: A 10-Second Habit to Change Your Entire Day”. It’s the perfect example of one of the seeds we plant here.
