Be sunlight to everyone you meet, including yourself.

I’ve always known I’ve needed to channel my nervous energy into something beneficial for the greatest good. So here I am, to bask in my glorious frustration, to shine light on my ugliest parts, to reach others who are too ashamed or too busy to acknowledge the heaviness they hold inside themselves and let them know they’re not alone and that feeling better is within reach. Growth is measured by the passing of time, not by a single moment.

Working with plant medicine has helped me immensely to learn to accept the present moment, to remember to take a step back, to do my own personal best to not stress or worry over things I can not control and to let my soul BREATHE. These plants have been tremendous allys to me as I've begun to explore my chakras. They have aided me in leaving fear and shame behind as I crawl into the darkest corners of myself in hopes of working through my cobwebs, and sweeping out my roots. These plants have aided me in uncovering and dusting off my bright, yellow light while encouraging it to shine with confidence through my solar plexis. I have meditated and worked with plants that have cast warmth on my untrusting, cold heart when I thought it was impossible for it to not be broken- that have brought voice and vibration to my throat chakra when I was feeling meek and that have brought openness and enlightenment to my third eye.

Plants have the power to allow us to open up to change, to heal old wounds, to alleviate physical and emotional pain, sadness, heartache and literal and figurative brokenness. This is an ever continuing journey of self discovery but I am dedicated to being my biggest supporter, and my best self. I am dedicated to being the love I wish to find in this world. And as witchy as it sounds, I am glad I have my plant material along for the ride.

Meditation, product crafting and writing about my experiences help me to DROP the dead, inconsistent shit that weighs me down. These acts of letting go encourage me to remember that when I get cut down, that I will come back even more vivid, vivacious and BEAUTIFUL - like a rose bush chopped in preparation for spring. This pruning we do literally and figuratively in our lives triggers healthy new growth, prevents disease and creates TONS of gorgeous blooms, it is nourishing! So lets be more kind to ourselves and more open to our discomfort...
