Flourish in 2025: A Story of Growth

I haven’t eaten a lentil since I graduated high school in the late eighties. To say I’m not a fan would be an understatement. Yet, this month, I found myself eating perfectly sautéed salmon paired with savory lentils. It wasn’t an instant favorite, but I ate every bite—and even went back for leftovers the next day.

The Lentil Seed

This lentil seed, left unnoticed on the counter, found just enough moisture to sprout—proof that even the smallest seeds can grow in unexpected places.

Before last week, I probably couldn’t even identify a lentil. It certainly wasn’t on my bucket list. But somehow, this humble lentil has become part of my first story of 2025.

While putting away dishes, I noticed something unexpected on the drying mat—a single lentil seed that had sprouted. It found just enough moisture to flourish, hidden and alone, in less-than-ideal circumstances.

If you know me, you won’t be surprised by what came next. This sprouted seed instantly reminded me of ONE GOOD SEED and how even the smallest action, belief, or idea can grow in the most unlikely conditions.

We’re just days into 2025, and my word for this year is “Flourish”. Last year’s word, “Triple”, brought me an overflow of blessings that I’m sharing with all of you.

This year, I invite you to reflect on your one word, one action, or one good seed that could flourish in this new season. May your story begin with a seed that finds just enough to sprout—and thrive.

LOL (lots of love),
