I am living a fruitful life and love it. My husband and I are California citrus farmers and I am a retired elementary public school teacher of 35 years. But you don't have to grow feel-good fruit or educate hundreds of children to have a fruitful life. Being productive is living a fruitful life. Raising a family, growing your business, curating a beautiful home or garden, donating your time or money to others in need, or creating art are all ways to be fruitful.
