To know me is to know I love summertime fruit.

Berries, melons, stone fruits (even though I’ve recently become allergic to them, I still eat them lol) are all apart of my morning routine.

It’s the best.

Stone fruits like peaches, cherries and plums got me thinking.

The pit is the seed of the fruit which symbolizes regeneration and beginning of new life.

Abundance.

The pit of fruit signals an investment into the future.

Consider concepts like seed funding and seed capital which investors put money into a startup.

Investors see the potential for abundance through the opportunity someone or something is presenting that may not existed before in our world.

The same holds true in the nonprofit sector. Seed grants are awarded to organizations who are dedicated to innovation in their field.

People who are excited and inspired about potential for a new idea; the creativity of what is possible.

We even use the vernacular of “planting seeds” when we discuss sharing ideas and in teaching new concepts.

By planting the idea seeds, we are looking to inspire change.

We invest our time and energy in the person(s) to make the change because we believe in their capabilities and potential.

The PIT of the fruit is a analogy of how we invest in ourselves and in others.

We need Presence in understanding what’s at stake and the purpose of why something needs to change.

We are curious and Inquire about new information to make sense of how change will happen. We get curious about ourselves and others and in doing so, we feel inspired to move forward.

Trusting ourselves in making the investment for our own and others betterment is achieved through transparency of what is entailed and connection to ourselves.

PIT symbolizes growth and possibility.

Planting the pits and seeds of your dreams is the beginning of something you get to cultivate for yourself and inspire others to do the same.

What are you planting today?
