Reema’s Garden – A New Beginning

Here’s the thing… We had just 2 participants! I remember very clearly and distinctly how scared I was about having just 2 participants. If you would have seen my previous posts of my workshops.. I had got used to having at least 15-20 participants… But then this is what fresh start looks like….

Gardener’s Confession – I don’t have a green thumb either!

Let’s get Candid here! There are so many things that I want to share. Lets start from here. I have so many people coming up to me and saying “You know what, I don’t have a green thumb!”  And all I want to say is “Neither do I!” I want to get this straight –Continue reading “Gardener’s Confession – I don’t have a green thumb either!”
