Live Slow
One year ago, I walked away from the
boardroom, overnight flights and
Blackberries and walked into my garden.
And bit by bit, as spring turned to summer
and summer to fall, the world began to slow
down. I was left with a few simple joys:
the joy of digging in the dirt and watching
things grow and the joy of cooking –
taking the best of each season and turning
it into sustenance and celebration with
people I love.
– Evaleen Jaager Roy
