 Hi my friends and welcome back to Plants and Lucia. My name is Lucia and today I'm very excited because as you may know, I haven't been posting so many videos for a while. So it's just so nice to be back and having this opportunity to talk to you and share some very exciting projects that are coming up. So I hope you enjoy it and let's get to it! Well hello again! So as we all know, these times have been very rough on all of us. So I just wanted to take this opportunity to say hello and send you all of my positive energy wherever you are. We're in this together and I sent you a big hug. I also wanted to say that even though we haven't been able to post so many videos on YouTube, it's been so inspiring and so amazing to see how the community is still growing. We were still in contact in Instagram and Facebook and I just witnessed how many people within the community were just helping each other out with plants and also to feel better in these times. So thank you so much you guys! That's really inspiring and it just makes me so happy to be doing this video now and just being in contact again. So thank you so much! First of all, look at this shirt! This shirt is very special to me because it was given to me by a very close loop of friends. Thank you so much you guys! It says human because I'm a human and my name Lucia. And on the back, that design is actually made by a very close friend of mine as well. So he makes it extra special. She is an artist and I really recommend her Instagram page. So if you want to check her out, just go to this page right here. I'm very excited about the second update in this video because it's related to the times that we're going through right now. So as you know, many of us are at home right now. And you know, I wanted to share with you in my time at home, just in silence, growing my plants or even in conversations with some of you, I have been witnessing with you actually how growing a plant can really change our perspective on life. So I thought now that many of us are at home, why not just share this experience together? And this is how this new series came to be. It is called Grow. To share with the community how we grow in tension with our plants and with ourselves. So we can all go through this process and share with the community. There are two types of videos in this series. The first kind of videos is related to growing food at home. Now, as I have told you, I am a plant beginner so I'm going to show you how I grow easy foods at home. So this can be lettuce, it can be leek, it can be herbs and many others. And I hope that you do it with me. The second kind of video is actually related to growing in tension with your plants. So while we take care of our physical health with the food that we grow at home, this second kind of videos is to take care of ourselves emotionally. You know, in the last year, Yan and I have been bringing many plants to our apartment. And in the process of learning how to take care of them, I have also been learning that taking care of our plants is also taking care of myself. So I thought that maybe in this series we can also try to consciously grow in tension when taking care of our plants and taking care of ourselves. Okay, so how is this series going to work? The series will come up every Thursday at 5 o'clock Berlin time. Please make sure to look at the description below for the time in your time zone. This video on Thursday will actually be premiered. That means that we will have the option to live chat. So we can connect even further. And of course, we will continue to have our regular plant care videos on Tuesdays. Last but not least, this year our plants are growing like crazy. And it's so nice to record it and just share with you guys. So we're gonna make sure to put all of the new growths in our Instagram page and share with you guys. Of course, I would love to see if your plants are growing. So if you have any new growth in your plants, please make sure to send a picture or a video on Instagram. And we will make sure to share with the community in our page. So keep the videos and pictures coming. Okay, my friends, you have no idea how happy I am to be recording right now. And I cannot wait to see you again. Remember, the first new episode of growth, the introduction episode, will be coming up next Thursday. So I cannot wait to talk to you more about this and see you then. And be sure to be there so we can chat live. So I will see you and chat with you on Thursday. I send you all of my positive energy. I hope you're staying safe and well. See you soon. Bye.
