Clearing out my phone, I found a video I made two years ago on a trip to the Ardeche in France, with Luis the fellow creator of proud to be Portuguese. We came on a visit to meet fellow wine makers and those involved in regenerative agriculture. It’s another reminder of how quickly time passes, but also what can grow well with the right kind of love and attention.

It was the first time Luis had left Portugal. Like a hungry plant, he drew up all the experiences and allowed it to further his growth. The confident young man I see today, has some French sunshine in his countenance. May we all grow like the beautiful flowers our creator intended us be. As we get back to the land we truly get back to our hearts.🌹🥕❤️
