This is wonderful. A thing I would like to share for everyone and specially cartoonists/illustrators/artists in general is something Dave from Sheldoncomics mentioned in a podcast and it goes something like this (sorry bad memory) “I might not be a doctor or a firefighter, but If my works brings you joy in a moment of need I think that is also a worthy thing to do”

I love this so much. Thank you. And much needed this week as the dumpster fire is burning high lately.

Wonderful job on the podcast, Brad! Jaclyn's question about a kindness song reminded me of Nothing More by The Alternate Routes. I love this song and think it deserves to be a lot more popular, so I'm sharing here :)

Love this! I’d never heard the informal of the words, dumpster fire, meaning a chaotic and mishandled situation. I love how you apply the dumpster fires that are fed on the Internet and our choice to feed them or to feed something more good like a garden. I’m planning my garden beds for next year, so this is very timely.

I had not seen that video before, but I love it now. The voices of the young narrators are precious to hear!

I love your ability to take a simple story from your mind and make it this beautiful, profound life lesson that anyone can grow themselves from. You're planting lots of seeds here! Great story, and the video is a perfect adaptation.

Gardening has always been therapeutic for me. There is working with your hands, pulling weeds, planting, watering, watching, and enjoying the results🤗♥️ kindness takes all of these elements too, but the rewards are SO fulfilling ‼️
