One Planter. One Prayer.

My heart tilted. It does this more and more of late—quietly, without warning—when I’m watching a bee hover over a plant that I’m in the process of putting into the soil—yet it’s here already. I marvel. I look around like, does anybody else see this and I seem to be constantly reminded how little it takes to make a difference.

And today, it not only tilted but was a lightning strike of such awareness and focus for the pollinators.

We’re losing them—bees, bumblebees, butterflies, hummingbirds, hummingbird hawk moths, and others that are all the silent magic-makers who pollinate our food, our flowers, and our future. Their habitats have been and are continuing to be paved over, poisoned, or simply forgotten.

But what if I told you that one planter—just one—with pollinator-friendly flowers can make a difference?

At your home. On your porch. Outside your workplace. On the windowsill.

Each planter becomes a rest stop, a bridge, a sacred offering in a living chain of survival. These small, intentional acts become a pathway of hope for pollinators trying to survive in a world that’s moving too fast, or maybe just not understanding it’s time to act.

What are we waiting for? Do we really think things will change without us stepping in? Do we think someone else is coming to fix this? Or that if we wait long enough, the Earth will somehow restore herself without our hands in the soil?

Do you truly believe you can make a difference? Because that belief—that one act matters—is the beginning of all real change. It’s of course not only in this but how we move in our world, and how we show up for ourselves, our family, our community, and the natural world, this Earth our home.

I don’t know about you, but I want magic to stay in the world. And to me, magic looks like coexistence. It feels like soil on your hands, like a bloom opening for a bee, like caring for something beyond ourselves… beyond our walls. Opening our hearts wider.

This week, I invite you to become part of that living spell. Get a planter, or if you are on a budget or keeping sustainably savvy, search for a planter on Marketplace, then head to your local nursery and find a pollinator-friendly plant. Put your hands in the soil, your well-being is going to expand just with this and then even further when you put it outside, knowing that you are gifting nature.

Because planting is a prayer.

And pollinators? They’re the ones carrying it forward.

Grounded in gratitude,

Christina
