This is my life’s work-whether with Cultivate, our children, dear friends, neighbors, or my mom and brother in this new grief we’re walking through together. Helping people live out what matters has been, and will always be, my heart. Growing a company has never been my aim, although it’s happened despite my shortcomings and desire to stay small. You faithfully place the seed in the nutrient-rich soil and trust the Lord to help it do what it was created to do. For a seed to grow, you must first release it from your hand to plant it. There’s a moment, as a gardener, when you take a leap of faith. We all hold seeds: dreams, goals, prayers, words to write, meaningful things to make, love to give. Saying yes to God’s plans often means letting go of our plans, and two words that mean more to me now than they ever did: having faith. Psalm 90:12, about numbering our days, has come to mind often as I’ve sought His wisdom. It has taken years of prayer and counsel, pruning, learning, praying on my knees, and waiting on the Lord. If you know my joy in the work God gave me to do with Cultivate, you know, alongside my gratitude for this new season, how difficult it has been to take this step of faith. No expression of gratitude feels big enough to say thank you for the gift of time I’ve had with them and our children. I’m grateful that this transition has already allowed me to honor my mother and father for the last few months and to be fully present by my dad’s side as he took his last breath. I love helping people cultivate what matters, and God has asked me to do that here with my family by hanging up my entrepreneurial hat-especially now. I love making beautiful and meaningful things. I’ve known for many years that God wanted me with my family more, and I’ve done my best to balance that alongside leading a growing company. This was not an easy decision and is the culmination of years of discernment and prayer. I am grateful for this new season for Cultivate and a new chapter alongside my family. Dear Friends, it is my joy to share that Cultivate What Matters was acquired by Daily Grace Enterprises in June.
