A carrot, an egg and a coffee bean all go into boiling water and come out changed in three different ways. That parable sits at the centre of this blog, and the fern and the bamboo make the same point about growth you cannot see happening.
Karen collects those stories and retells them briefly, and the effect is a small book of encouragements rather than a course. The eagle, the Titanic, a child who saved a neighbour's house: each arrives with a lesson attached and no padding.
Her one genuinely practical post is about content, and its instruction is braver than most: say what people are thinking and are afraid to say, and give somebody an actual reason to care before you ask them to share.
Networking, focus, attitude and stress each get a short piece, and there is a post about learning to decorate a cake.
Read a parable when you need one. That is what they were collected for.
