I have been wishing to start a blog for some time. In fact, I have many notes, ideas, and writings jotted down in my notebook just waiting to jump from page and into this space. I guess the challenge or block was just getting started, so here I am, during this Sagittarius moon, using that fire, doing it. Starting.
Up until this moment I have used Instagram as my " blog space"- oversharing, undersharing, opening and unfolding, and most recently being stuck as fuck. Those little boxes just don't hold the same magic as they once did, you know? It went from being a wide open space of growth and connection to one of keeping people hidden within an algorithm and trying to force small businesses to pay for promotions.
I will still be using that space as a means of sharing, but am moving away from it as my main gig.
What will I be offering here?
I will be generously sharing all sorts of things- plant musings and materia medica, herbal remedy and food as medicine recipes, gardening techniques, foraging and wild harvesting tips and tricks, gardening and cultivating practices, beekeeping, dreams, interviews with other amazing healers and wise people, and other random and juicy bits of my world.
I am so thrilled to be beginning this journey and sharing myself in this way. Please, join me, come sit for a spell, relax, and enjoy.
Stay Tuned for a lot of goodness (insert excited hands emoji guy here)
