I grew this stunning hollyhock from seed this spring.
I filled a recycled nursery container with soil, tucked the seeds inside, set it in the sun, and watered it regularly.
At first, it didn’t look like much — just a few tiny sprouts. But I kept nurturing it with steady care, small adjustments, and lots of patience.
Over time, the sprouts became sturdy stalks covered with buds. And now? These incredible blooms greet me right outside my front door.
Communications are the same way. You don’t get to reap the rewards overnight.
You plant a message. You nurture it with consistency and care, responding thoughtfully to the environment — a tweak here, some reinforcement there.
Then, slowly, quietly — it blooms.
