What Does It Mean to Find Your Sourdough?

When I say, “Find your sourdough,” I am not really talking about bread.

I mean find the thing that brings you back to yourself.

The thing that quiets the noise and gathers your attention.

The thing that asks you to slow down, become present, and listen.

The thing that stirs your curiosity, brings you joy, and somehow makes you feel more like yourself when you are doing it.

For me, that thing became sourdough.

What began as a jar of flour and water on my kitchen counter became something I never could have anticipated. Through the slow rhythm of feeding a starter, learning to work with dough, failing, beginning again, and eventually building Art of The Crumb, I began to recognize that the transformation wasn't happening only in the bread.

It was happening in me.

Sourdough became one of the places where my faith deepened, where healing continued to unfold, and where I learned some of the most important lessons of my life.

Slow down.

Pay attention.

Stay present.

Trust what you cannot control.

Begin again.

Your sourdough may look nothing like mine.

It may be painting.

Gardening.

Writing.

Music.

Teaching.

Walking in the woods.

Serving your community.

Caring for someone you love.

Learning something you've always wanted to learn.

Or something you haven't discovered yet.

Whatever it is, pay attention to what moves you.

Pay attention to what you keep returning to.

Pay attention to the places where you stop striving and simply become present.

Because sometimes the things that appear ordinary are quietly inviting us into something much deeper.

I thought I was learning to make bread.

Instead, I was learning to notice my life.

And somewhere along the way, I found my sourdough.

My hope is that Find Your Sourdough helps you begin noticing yours.
