I love to write, sew, quilt, craft, cook, paint, and always looking for new ideas to make or share. I love to use my camera to capture life and tell a story through pictures. I have a web and graphic design business that keeps me busy, but I love my work and enjoy interacting with my clients as together we see their vision become a reality. More than anything, my greatest passion is serving God in a way that others see Him through me. I don't always do everything just right, but each day I get up, I turn that day over to God, asking Him to help me try to get it right one more time.","url":"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/author\/sandi\/"}]}},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/homegrown.1100x400.jpg","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4772,"url":"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/grazing-off-the-land-kale\/","url_meta":{"origin":9100,"position":0},"title":"Grazing Off the Land","author":"Sandi Herron.
