A year's time and lessons way beyond myself...



Here we all are.. we have stepped into another new year.. we have been through another full cycle of another beautiful year. This however, is a year so different than any year any of us here on earth now have ever experienced.
I know this, and I can feel this with all of my being. Things are changing, everything is always changing, but it is different this time. The univers
e, the earth, the entire energy is crying out for healing, and crying out to be re-noticed.
Like I have said so many times before, our ancestors before us were so much more connected, to each-other and to everything around them. They knew the plants, the animals, they knew on a personal level everything around them that could be of use, and so importantly they knew and valued the exchange of energy. Giving and receiving on so many levels.
The last few years have brought about a global awakening, or should I say a global test of awakening. There have been so many obstacles put in the path of so many people. So many people loosing their jobs, their homes, everything we all valued as the basics in life...
There have been so many chances to let it bu
ry you alive and force you to a life of grief, or a chance to truly clear the clouds of your perception, see things exactly as they are, honor them for what they are and how they came to be, and then use them to GROW..

We all do have our down times, we are ALL on this human path and have human emotions. I will be the first to tell you that I am not always happy and in a perfect space of bliss... but I will tell you that every single thing put in my path have all been such a blessing because they all helped me to grow into who I am and what I value in this life. The hard things, and the things of complete joy..they are all a part of me. Every person I have been blessed to learn from, to meet, a little bit of every one of them is a part of me and who I am. Its a wonderful feeling to think of many of those people, (and animals) and feel the essence of them all around me, because they are a part of me, it becomes really hard to feel alone...

I am much more able to see my obstacles, or my s
adness, really honor it and then let it go.. get back to really seeing the beauty in so many things all around me, so much easier than I every thought possible.
We live in a life of abundance, weather you see it now or not, it is so available to you, and you will feel so amazed at a NEW start to life. A newness to everything around you, like you are a child discovering things for the first time. I know for me, these feelings were intensified with my Reiki master attunment.. like something made the final click I needed to feel the warmth of the world around me and be on my true path of purpose... but you don't need that to feel what I now feel.

As I look back at the past few years and the changes I have gone through I know the root of changes and how important they each are to set you on a new experience of life around you..


I have no idea if there is an order these need to go in, but I feel everyone experiences them at some level over and over and maybe in cycles. I tend to do a lot of things backwards, or in an order that seems very out of the normal.. on so many levels of life... but that's just how I roll :)
As I think of my path and the 'order' which I fully learned and lived each of them, I see right away how the last one I 'got' may really be the best to start with for most people. However, in the universe everything happens exactly the way it should in exactly the order it should for every person. No two people are on the same path. Its yours and yours alone and YOU are the only one who can truly listen and know what is right for you at a specific time in your life...

The most recent thing I finally TRULY learned about is self care. I have heard it most of my life I have said I practiced it, but so much of mine, and I know many other peoples make up is meeting other peoples needs. Making sure they are cared for.. especially being a mother, a wife, a husband providing for your family.. You truly can do no one else any more good than you do for yourself. If you really want to be the best help you can to those you love, you better really understand this concept. You can not give out any more love, respect, care, or nurturing than what you have contained inside of yourself FOR yourself. It was said to me many many times, but not until you are really taking that time for filling yourself will you every fully understand what I am saying.. What really helped me through this was to throw out the window all of the worry and issues I was having trying to see my place in the world. When I started running workshops, I quickly realized that I was about the youngest person in the room every time. I started thinking, who I am I to teach these people anything, to lead them in any way.. I worried about what I really could teach people. I was drawn so strong to play this role in life but very un-confident in WHY. As soon as I changed my thoughts to what fulfills me and what am I passionate about.. the rest faded away and I look for that feeling in many places of life.
Start simple and see where it leads, find the feeling that fulfills you the most and make more time for it. Fulfill yourself by fulfilling what makes you happy, You will be in gratitude that you did.
The next thing is truly LETTING GO of everything. This does not mean giving up, or loosing hope at ALL. This is simply acknowledgement that the universal energy flows through the world at the path of least resistance. It flows to positive light and only works for the highest good of everything involved. This may not always be easy or what you think you really want.. because you are now letting the universe/ god/ the outside forces lead you on your path here. I know from my own life, completely letting go does not always mean you will loose everything you let go of, it just allows that space for the winds of the universe to blow freely and gently push you along your path. When you say you have let go but you are still holding on, even with little strings on the way you want the outcome to be personally, you have strings in the way of that wind and it cant really do what it needs to do for you.
Which brings me to another thing, giving and being completely unattached to the outcome. When you give things, such as love, energy, and support to other people purely from your heart with no strings attached.. this is where true magic can happen. I personally give because I absolutely love giving, its a win win place for me because in spaces such as my client sessions, in workshops, or just in my daily life.. any small thing I can give to someone else instantly adds so much joy into my life. But if you don't feel that instantly that is completely fine, all people are different and we all experience things differently. Just remembering how energy works, what you put out there is what you will receive back, is some form or another. Don't do things expecting something back in any other way either though, because you are attaching strings. Just know the universe will provide for you and leave it at that.
The last thing I want to touch on, since I am trying to write a blog and not a book... (thank you for reading this far if you have) is the importance of being in gratitude. Feel the connection to everything around you and be so grateful for it all. We are so blessed by this life. Our soul chose to come down to this earth to fulfill a journey, and to live this life you are living. Everything is so beautiful. Looking out my window as I am writing this I am in gratitude. The sun is shining on the trees, they are all so strong and so full of energy, they are leafless and dancing gently with the wind. The birds are flying through the branches and much of nature is sleeping, yet providing to so many others, including me. We are all so blessed to be here on this earth, and I feel so connected and so full of purpose just knowing I am a part of it all. I am connected to everything and everyone in some way, and so are you. Your path will touch so many other peoples path and parts of you will be carried with them, just like I carry so many with me.. Gratitude just grows more gratitude and with that comes feeling more connected to the world around you, with connection comes an awakening of your own inner knowing and inner purpose. If you have trouble being in gratitude, start how I did, make a list every day of things you are grateful for. It may start with one thing, I know mine only had a few, and that's ok. You will be amazed at how your list will grow. Can't think of one? Start by being thankful for getting out of bed, for having another day in this life, or having your loved one for another day in your life, because no one is gaurenteed another day.
With ALL of that said..I was feeling so called to share this information with you because we are all in a time of amazing movement. The power of manifestation seems to be amplified right now all over the world. Things you used to have to focus on for a long time to make them a reality are somehow being instantly answered by the universe, IF they are only for the highest good. Time seems to be timeless right now. (and for me, who has a hard time with the concept of time anyways.. this can feel really overwhelming) At the same sense, everything is so amplified right now, and the intensity of the low points can easily pull you down if you don't consciously change the way you think of your own reality. Because that is what it is, it is your own path and your own reality, but you are so far from being alone on it.

We all need each other and connection to each other more than ever, for support when we give it and support when we are in a space to accept it. It is all infinite, it is all connected and life is so so beautiful. Praying in a sweat lodge is my way of practicing connection, but this of course is not the only way of connecting. A lot of knowing comes from within.. and a lot comes from the universe, your guides, and from messengers everywhere waiting to be discovered by you.
In all of history time blocks of years had great change, HUGE shifts that the people and animals of earth had to adapt to and change with. It really makes me wonder how we could be so naive as a whole to think that we are in the ONLY period of time on this earth that will be the same forever. Earth is actually over-due for an ice age. Hearing that and seeing the research was a wonderful reminder of adaptation. Animals in nature who are most adaptable to climates, movement and changes are the ones who are the strongest in number.
Wankantanka... the great mystery... there is so much in connecting to it all and embracing it on your path.

Honoring the light within...


Next week is the traditional time of giving thanks, of gathering with family and sharing time together. I don't know about everyone, but I do know for so many people the past few years have really been shifting to a space of being in true gratitude every day. Sometimes you get to a place of really feeling you are at your lowest point to make you open up and surrender to letting spirit/ the universe take control and give in to trusting. We are being asked to feel this trust and this gratitude every day, even when you are at your highest points too..
There is so much shifting... so many trials...so many hard spaces of life we are and have been asked to go through. Every single one of them is a chance to live in love and to grow more into your spiritual essence and purpose in this life. I spent so much of my life searching for something I felt I was missing, like so many people do..when it was all here all along, all around me, all within me. All around you, and within YOU...

When I first started truly opening up to so many things I used to not pay attention to, I really was worried about who I said certain things to, who I would offend, who would think I was completely nuts.... I thought that was important. However, it didn't take me long to let go of that, because I now know that we are all so connected, all the same, all of the same divine light. It is not about religion, or about my beliefs being different than anyone else's, it is about finding that space where they are the same. In the root of all religion are really the same beliefs, when you take it to the simple level of things. Love, compassion/ forgiveness, and being grateful, then taking the time to honor these things through meditation, silence or prayer.
We each do of course have our own uniqueness and our own individual path we need to fill, but it is finally coming back to a time where we are not meant to do that alone, it is about connecting with each other and using other people and other animals, other plants, as our way of finding our own light. We have so much in us that always wants an answer to things as well, and a huge part of getting back to the true core of our being and our purpose is accepting and flowing and growing. We will never know all of the answers and we will always be given a chance to learn and to grow.
I have been so honored and so blessed by so many teachers, so many elders making a presence and sharing their knowledge. I started off my weekend last weekend at the Star knowledge conference at Serpent Mound. These conferences are such a beautiful amazing form of sharing and of growth. They hold 13 a year all over the country, so many elders from many places are coming together and speaking out, sharing their knowledge and their truth. We should all feel so honored for this chance at this time. They do not have to share but they have been asked to by divine means because our planet needs this. Not just our local community, our city, our state, but everyone all across parts of the world are being asked to heal this earth...

Sunday Uncle Bob Randall came out and spent the day at our farm. His culture was living one of the oldest ways of life as we know it in Australia. They did not have homes, they did not own the land, they lived with the land. They lived like this for longer than our history can even think about. Their youngest children could survive in a desert finding food, water, making shelter, and living in harmony with not only each- other but with all living things. There was no war, because all tribes treated each-other equally, with respect, and they had a true sense of living on the earth. They did not own the earth, because she owns us. Settlers came in and began to make it known they owned the land, and everything changed. It is always a sad situation when someone believes their ways are the only ways and are right. That is just not what it is meant to be. We are all meant to learn from each-other and share with each-other so that life can be experienced to the fullest it possibly can.. WHY else are we here?

I am still processing so much from my recent experiences with Bob and Barbara and with so many other people, and animals and plants that have come so willingly into my life. Being taught original song and ways of ceremony really does move your spirit to a place not able to be explained by words.... learning from any elder is something to be cherished and respected and honored.....I am ready for a space of honoring all that has been learned. I have been going inward which I feel is so important for the balance of the physical and the spiritual. There are so many messages readily available to anyone who is willing to open up and listen, feel, see or sense them. They are all around you, they are in your dreams, they are in your experiences with other people and from the physical realm of life we are all here walking in. It is definitely not always easy, and personally I am working on the balance of being in pure spirit and true purpose while still dealing with and keeping a balance on earthly in the now, life things.

I find so much comfort in the realization the last month has given me, and that is how connected we all truly are. So many people are finding their light and connecting it to others, so many people, not just us, not just in our community are working on ways to become self sufficient again, the way things used to be and can be. We are all people made up of our individual experiences, we each pick up the essence of other beings we learn from, we meet. A little bit of what we resonate with in each path we cross becomes part of who we are and our light we carry around in this world. The root of growing is letting everything originate in love, because anything that is of pure love will be supported by the universe. "The wind of love is everywhere" as Bob sings in one of his many beautiful songs..it is just allowing that wind to surround your entire being, soak into your soul and emit from your breath..

I am truly in so much gratitude and so much thanks, to the earth, to being connected, to floating on the winds of love and letting go of earthly things we were all taught as being the most important things in life.. Life is always changing and I know deep in my soul we are all being asked to reconnect to each-other and to everything around us, so we can also change and bring this earth back to a space of balanced living. May you all make the time to re-connect with your family and soak in your blessings, this next week and every week after....

Months of changes..earthship movement

So much has been going on in our lives since the last time we posted....
Everything around seems to be moving in hyper-speed, and everything internal is fighting for some quietness in order to process this incredibly fast shifting. As many people know we had put our farm and home up for sale this year. Like so many people in this economy we were feeling really pressured to make some conscious changes. We took an amazing trip out west this summer. It was a trip that was making up for 7 years of no real family vacations with the kids. It was the most needed and amazing experience to completely step out of life, and be able to look at this life we had created from an outside view, and really spend amazing time connecting with each-other. So much of what we thought needed to happen was to truly use this as a chance to fulfill a dream. Moving out west, into the mountains..or near the ocean..to a place of beauty so intense it still fills me with tears when I think about it all. Leaving it all behind and completely simplifying life could really create a space of Mike not always feeling compelled to keep up with the physical farm duties, and a chance for me to step back from so much work running several businesses and missing out on time with my kids. So many beautiful places we visited we could easily picture ourselves in long term. The kids were really amazing and so excited about just about any new place as a new home town. Living out of the van for a month, camping and staying with wonderful people along the way REALLY gave us even more of a view of the life we knew we needed to work at. It was so easy to picture ourselves so many places because all we really need is each-other...food and someplace comfortable to sleep.....
So much of what our society has gotten away from has to do with having way too much, needing way too much. Turkey vulture flies over very often, its message is so important now..waste not want not... In the history of cultures, everyone used what was available to build homes, clothes, tools, they worked together as community for the highest good of everyone involved. I'm not sure when it all happened, but man did we take a giant leap away from the resourcefulness of our ancestors!!
So here we were. We knew we were being asked to make some major changes, and it is so important to me that we start healing this earth, start replenishing what is so little and what used to be thriving. Our thoughts, our energies, and certainly our way of life will directly effect the next 7 generations. Thinking of starting over somewhere else is so amazing, but starting to build a home from scratch and the effects of physical activity to Mikes body was very overwhelming. So many messages I was getting on our trip was all about community. So much of our time and energy had been spent the last few years building this earthship for the farm, the wellness center, and the main foundation and framing was already done..... it only made sense to continue what we had already come so far on. Although this was not the intension for this building, everything in our lives change, everything shifts and it all happens exactly the way it needs to.

So for now, between the double vending events, and taking care of our amazing kids, we have been working every spare moment on getting the earthship sealed in before winter. Let me tell you, going from freeing my mind from everything I once knew to stepping right back into the fast flow, plus adding building a home, has definitely not been easy. Ive had so many doubts and questions along this part of the journey. However, the beauty of it is knowing this is what we need to do, and Mike is always so amazing at encouraging me and assuring me it will all work out. (somehow we have completely switched roles, because that used to BE me and now he does it FOR me :) The letting go ALWAYS allows the universe to flow freely within our lives.

Our home and woods will soon belong to someone else, and parts of me are sad, but so much more of me knows how important and needed working together as a community is with the shifts going on in this world. Even more of me knows that every can and tire packed into this home with mud is one more can or tire that is not being burned or dumped into a landfill.
We have had some volunteers through the last few months, and we are SO grateful and thankful to each and every one of you! There are some wonderful things you can learn from spending time on this building and we are always very open to extra hands, and can always use extra help.

My aunt who passed away several years ago made a cd for us all, on the cover is her beautiful smiling face and the sentence "what lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us" (Ralf Waldo Emerson)
That is it...that is everything... it is what we hold inside, the essence of who we are that is always with us, so much of the rest of the world changes and shifts and we must be flexible with it. Living with compassion and love and only the highest good of everyone inside.... thats how we can make it through everything and it is together...
I do know my role with the farm is changing, and I am so excited to start focusing on the Wellness retreats very soon.... empowering ourselves is the most amazing step we can take to healing this planet...

Sea of Dreams

I experienced the most amazing thing in my life, a perfect Pacific Ocean sunset. Clear skies, family and a beach all to ourselves. Our trip set off with one real goal for myself and that was to see the sunset. Boy did I sure get what I wanted! I recorded the entire dream as it unfolded. I could not even move let alone say a word while my body tingled in a euphoric state watching the set. I have yet to re-watch my recording, only the eye can surely see the magic I saw. While fireballs rotated off of the sun the rays reflected off the seas waves and into my eyes which must have had the biggest reflection not to mention the reflection off my teeth while I soaked all this in, what Kym would say as, "energy".



I love it here so much while the people have been so kind to help us on our journey. Where else in America could I find the perfect people? Seems every day we run into someone special or someone that wants to point us in a direction that assures more good dreams to come true. I absolutely love the coast and the well being here. Shoot today we found the best sea food restaurant that only serves fresh caught sea food from the owners own harvest, AMAZING! I will return to eat here at Lunasea Sea Food Restaurant, someday..... Weird thing is that they're so close to our business name Lunacraze. More and more things happen each day that it makes sense to move here.

Midwest Country Side

Traveling the country side from town to town wondering why everything looks the same. So far we have gone through Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska and swiftly heading down the freeway to Wyoming. Our thoughts so far has been do American farmers mostly grow corn and soy? The view has been similar to the same old Ohio scenery we see from day to day. Do Americans demand that much processed food to survive?

Another realization I have come to is the mass populations demand for beef. I have seen densely packed corals full of cattle packed with nasty feces covered animals. It made the thought of beef, which may I remind you I have not ate except for the ECC Jalapeno burger from General Denver in Wilmington, Ohio. Man is that a good burger! Back to the thought of inhumane treatment of cattle. I won't rip on all cattle farmers because I have seen many some free range farms with very happy animals. I believe this bad energy the cattle are experiencing during their lives directly affect the growth and results of good meat. Why do we even kill these animals? It just seems so wrong and strange that this would happen. Maybe I need to reconsider my life choices and switch to a less invasive food lifestyle.

One great change in America since my 2000 cross country road trip has been the expansion of clean energy. We passed a massive wing on a semi trailer that I thought was for a wind generator while the kids expected it to be for a plane. With the flags and escorts of this wide load I knew it was for something huge. 60 miles down the road our questions and thoughts were answered by Iowa wind farms that stretched over 100 miles. These omega wind generators are producing electricity on a steady basis even with low wind speeds this day. It's great to see America changing and home the possibility that one day our home town will bring this technology here for I can rest assured that we are doing what's necessary to go green. Definitely an inspirational site to see!

Roadside grass mowing! What a waste of energy, gas, time, resources and must be a financial burden on America. Every freeway system has 3 medians, left, right and center. Center being double the width of the left or right. I figured road crews must mow every mile at least 4 times a year and each mile consist of 4-6 swipes with their bug John Deer tractors. Your talking 453 miles of Nebraska interstate times 6 equaling 2748 miles minimum to mow Highway 80. Insane!! This is not just for this state but every single highway, road, freeway, State Route in the U.S.A. and surrounding areas.

Farmers Market Find



July 2... Market find!

Here we are... the second day of this amazing trip that has been able to happen at the exact time in our lives we really need it. We have had so much reassurance already that this trip is meant to be. I don't know who all notices the 1111 time, or what it means to you. But for me it is the spiritual world just checking in, trying to make you notice. Yesterday on our early travels, I looked at the clock (like I do so many times at that time) and it was 11:11, looked to the right, mile marker 111, a

s I said this out loud, Mike noticed the trip meter, 111... coincidence? I just don't believe in a coincidence on any level. Everything is meant to happen and is part of our journey..everything, amazing, everything bad. The people we need in our lives always come at the exact right moment for our learning and support , and for theirs... As I started typing this sitting in a stopped traffic jam, I wanted to explain our farm market find today. I had made numerous attempts at searching local harvest from my phone, but in and out of signal, the closest I was able to get on was a search for a health food store, our next best option... that address was the only thing staying on my phone, 111 was the street address in Laramie, WY.. good one huh? So we head that way and wouldn't you know! A big wonderful farm market right on the street! Along with a really amazing little town and very good energy from the people and the environment! We obviously were led to this one, I do believe.

Our goal on this trip is to only eat from farm markets and local farms. This just wouldn't be right without supporting all of the local farmers along the way. Wednesday evening we were able to get an assortment of goodies from Branstraters farm.. John supplied us with early peaches, gooseberries, currents, black and red raspberries.. and very nourishing snacks for this long drive. The dark currents were so fun to pass to the kids and get the sour face reaction, fun times in the van! At this market in Laramie, we were able to get some amazing bread, cherries, mushrooms, and even kettle corn. oh, and a little red white and blue tutu skirt Lainey got with her money. Of course, be sure to watch soon for her own display of them at our markets and events.. this girl has got boundless creativity and she is already planning her colors.... This find was wonderful and amazing and an amazingly good start to keeping up with this goal.

After many wonderful stops today we are trying to find a decent campground to pop up our tent and make some dinner. Not really having too much luck. The search for a hotel is not going much better..Friday on fourth of July weekend..there should be a law against this ridiculous inflation on people trying to spend time with their family.. 80 minimum so far for a really bad hotel. I kept saying we need to just go to Rock Springs, WY. I have mentioned this several times, told Mike Im not sure why but I keep having Rock Springs come into my mind. So back on the highway, Interstate 80, 65 mph and traffic only one lane each way. It didn't take long and we had to come to this stop. We just found out there was a bad accident between a van and an suv.. 6 kids injured. Right at the Rock Springs area. I have a very sad surreal feeling sweeping over my entire being. I know these family's can use all of the prayers, positive energy, distance Reiki healing you can send them. I am praying that injury's are all that happened and that healing will sweep over them quickly.

Life is so precious.. Our journeys here are so important. I know every day that I am blessed in so many ways and I am really looking forward to soaking in this long journey of time with my family. These kids and husband of mine are so amazing and so full of everything that fills me with so much warmth!! I get to step back from the rush of life and allow the wind and universe to gently sweep around the spaces of my soul. The most important realization I have come to recently is that there does NOT always need to be a clear answer or clear direction on this journey... sometimes just being in a space of not knowing and allowing the universe to work its way through IS exactly where you need to be at some times in life. I have always looked for answers in everything. Don't ask or need to know, just feel and all will always be fine. Sometimes trying to explain things away with words takes away from the power of the feeling.

This is where I am.. life is so beautiful and truly feels like a blank slate right now. We all have the ability to create anything we want and need. All you need it is a clear picture of that, and the power of manifestation will take over. I may not have a perfectly clear picture of that right now, but I know I am not supposed to. Surrendering to first letting go, then allowing space and knowing that not knowing is just a step in the journey is so fulfilling... Oh, and these mountains and there powerful energy are filling me and overflowing me, this is a pure beautiful dream and its only day 3!!!!!!

June.. already!?


Today has already concluded the Third...yes Third week of some of my farm markets! It feels so wonderful to be back in the full swing of farm season. Seeing so many wonderful people, and starting at amazing new locations it is all an energetic jump start for re-awakening the season ahead!
I will have to say.. as I was hanging around the 600th lavender bundle of this week.. I was in deep thought about some comments and questions I kept hearing at the Market this morning.
"For a farm market, you guys sure do not have very much produce" " This is a FARM market and there are no FARMERS"and many more comments just like this...
uh huh... well, I do completely understand the misconception of or society on what a farm market is about. It is really so amazing that there is this wonderful shift going on that is really making people want to be more conscious, to buy local things at local markets!! That is so wonderful I can not even begin to explain.
However, while it was very liberating to me to explain the growing season.. fresh greens, tomatoes in about 2 weeks, broccoli, then peppers melons and squash, and then corn..etc...., I was also a little saddened that people were coming to the market and were wholeheartedly disappointed that they did not have the selection the grocery store does.
I know this all comes with learning, but going through the half acre of produce myself last year I know first hand how much work it is and how much care and loving energy it takes to make food flourish :) Those greens available now have SO much potential to become meals and are definitely something to be excited about!

I have been so happy to see FRESH GREENS, tart cherries, my all time favorite honey... (which I do have to say is a huge addiction to me, especially the comb!! makes all of your taste buds go into a state of bliss!!) You can find this from Chris' Honey, from Lebanon, Ohio... the FRESH strawberries.. which I don't buy this year because I have so many that I cant even get to them fast enough. Fresh organic and grass fed meats, fresh chickens, eggs, baked wonderful things.. and I could go on and on.... Early season markets are still SO amazing!
The season at the market will continue to bring about many more wonderful things, and I hope in time that everyone will see the hard work and amazing things farm markets can hold from start to finish...

On another note, I really feel like time is moving even faster than normal.. we are only one week away from Yellow Springs Street Fair and only TWO WEEKS AWAY from our wonderful Lavender Festival!!! (Check out the amazing video on the front page to see what we are all about!!!)
I have had about 10 wonderful, lovely, amazing groups of people come and have a tour of the farm, hosted 2 amazing workshops, and met even more wonderful souls than I thought was possible. I am always so blessed by crossing paths with so many people.. and I am so thankful for every light that shines brightly from every one of them, every one of you :)
Oh...also our dog Moon who normally meets you in our field has been cleaned up and recovering from an infected foot in the house. Our big sweetheart may finally like it in here better than outside!


My eyes are beginning to blur and when they close I see nothing but lavender blooms.. (just another added bonus of harvesting around 1000 lavender bundles in one week! You get to see them in your sleep, or even just when you blink!)
It is close to 1am, and I started today at 6am..well yesterday I guess now... I am off to bed to do some recharging for my soul. Tomorrow starts another beautiful day of harvest, and really getting a move on to stock up my lavender goodies! Thank you so much to all of the wonderful people who have supported us on this journey and we hope to see you all at our festival!!!
