What we think we deserve and what we actually get can tell two very different stories. I’ve spent time in the “I don’t deserve this box,” wasting hours I’ll never get back trying to figure out what went wrong, whose fault it was, or playing the blame game. However, during one of those introspective moments, I stumbled upon something Tony Robbins, a famous speaker and self-help guru said: “We don’t get what we deserve; we get what we tolerate.” That plain and simple truth was a wake-up call that hit me like a ton of bricks. I immediately understood what he meant, and how it played a role in my life. I realized the discrepancy between what I have and what I feel I deserve can be traced back to what I tolerate. This idea rings true for many people in one aspect of life or another.
Ever heard of a French horn virtuoso becoming the “best ragtime/boogie-woogie pianist on the planet?” Bob Milne made such an incredible splash across the world that he was chosen to be interviewed by the Library of Congress for their official records of American music. His contribution was so great that he was thereafter designated a “National Treasure.” Bob continued traveling far and wide to play for audiences of all kinds, from small-town communities to presidents and generals, for dignitaries at home and abroad. He came to be named a “Musical Ambassador” by the U.S. Department of State. It’s been an exciting journey, yet these fancy titles have not gone to Bob Mile’s head. He is still as unassuming and fun-loving as ever, enjoying every minute of his colorful career.

I don't know about you, but sometimes it feels like I'm the only person in the world who struggles. Looking around at everyone's seemingly perfect life can make me feel inferior and like a failure.

Whether you have heavy clay soil or very sandy soil, compost can help with nutrient availability, moisture retention and provide clay with better drainage. Actually the material we add to soils from composting is called “humus”. Humus is the finished product from composting that resist breaking down further. The unique thing about humus is that it helps out with very different extremes in soils. The composting process can be as simple as piling garden debris and letting it breakdown over a couple seasons or it can be done in a couple months by turning the pile when it cools and keeping it moist which helps speed up the process.

Do you know the difference between a Will-based estate plan and a Trust-based estate plan? The biggest difference between a Will and a Trust is that without a Trust in place, your family will have to go to Court to get access to your assets in the event of your incapacity or death. You may think having a Will allows your loved ones to inherit your assets without court intervention, but this is not true. While your Will indicates who you want to have access to your assets and how you want them distributed, Wills do not avoid the Court process known as probate. As the saying goes, “Where there is a Will, there is a probate.”

Plant scientists know that lawn and garden plants require 18 nutrients for healthy, productive growth. Your lawn and garden “soil environment” is a reservoir that houses these nutrients, providing the platform for plant roots to acquire them. Understanding each individual plant’s needs and the type of soil you have is the first step in properly managing soil fertility.
