Some books change you. But do you ever pause to ask how?

The Reader’s Compass was born from a simple need—to slow down after a good book and actually absorb what I just experienced.

I created it to guide deeper reflection after reading, but it surprised me… it also changed how I read. Now, I notice more symbolism, emotion and personal connections while reading—not just after.

If you love books that shift your mindset or stir your spirit, this tool will meet you right where you are.

At 40 Day Living, the way we name and share plants reflects the way we honor people. We don’t believe in discrimination of any kind. Every plant we grow, like every neighbor we serve, is offered with respect, inclusivity and care. 💚

That’s why we choose Inch Plant instead of repeating the plant’s old, demeaning name. Words matter and even in gardening, we believe language should grow kindness.

Sometimes the hardest truth to accept is this: you were never the problem.

Reading You’re Not the Problem by Helen Villiers & Katie McKenna opened my eyes in ways I didn’t even know I needed. This book reminded me that treating people with love and kindness is not weakness…it’s strength. The shame doesn’t belong on me. It belongs to those who weaponize kindness to manipulate and control.

For anyone walking through healing, I highly recommend this book. 🙌🏾 And if you’d like to see my full review (written using my custom Reader’s Compass template), click here 👉🏾 https://40dayliving.com/book-review-youre-not-the-problem-by-helen-villiers-katie-mckenna/

✨ Let my review be a mirror: you’re not the problem either.

What lies are you holding back?...

Tina Lifford’s The Little Book of Big Lies hit me right in the soul. It’s a guide to unlearning the lies we carry and stepping into self-love. Take a read if you’re ready to heal from the inside out. What's one 'big lie' you've had to unlearn about yourself?

I shared my full review on the blog 👇🏾

From carport to contracts!

40 Day Living is now a proud member of the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP)! 🎉

I joined for three reasons:
✨ Top-tier training (because I love to learn)
✨ Networking & mentorship
✨ Industry insight to serve smarter + greener

I’m building my urban farm and plant nursery from the ground up—literally—right under my carport.💪🏾 It’s my cozy outdoor training center, content studio and the heart of 40 Day Living…and now I’m backing it with national resources and serious credentials.

NALP’s HQ is even local, so best believe I’ll be swinging by to say hey!

🐛 Natural pest control = less spraying
🌞 Thrives in heat & poor soil = easy wins
🌼 Continuous blooms = summer beauty

Plant them alongside your tomatoes, peppers, squash, or beans and let these bold little blooms handle the drama so your food can flourish.

She’s bold. She’s vibrant. She’s growing fast—just like us. 💜

This is the Inch Plant (Tradescantia zebrina), and she’s serving up lush purple stripes, trailing vines and that easygoing attitude we love in a houseplant. But guess what, she can thrive outside too!

Grown right here at 40 Day Living, a small-but-mighty nursery run from our carport in Clinton, MD—just like MOM’s Organic Market (one of our inspirations) started in a garage. We’re building something real, one plant at a time!💪🏾

💧 Easy care
🌞 Loves bright, indirect light
🌱 Trailing beauty for shelves, baskets & window sills
✨ Grown with care, not chemicals

🌿✨ If Heaven had greenhouses… this would certainly be one of them.

I spent the day wandering through Rawlings Conservatory in Baltimore, where glass walls hold a world of green magic. The orchids… the palms… the stillness that hums with life; it’s a place that makes you breathe deeper.

Meet 40 Day Living’s COO, Malik Williams. From building garden beds and shoveling tons of river rock to nurturing seedlings, he’s the steady hands and servant heart helping this vision grow. He’s not just my husband and elementary school best friend, he’s the engine behind the scenes.

Here he’s holding a tray of Gomphrena globosa (Globe Amaranth), a pollinator favorite that even our resident bumblebee, Zane, can’t resist. (Yes, I name the bees n butterflies that vist the greenhouse.😆)

Can’t wait to share what we’ve been growing with love: for you, for us and for our community!
