Who am I? Hmmm, where do I begin? Let's see, I am a philosophic, tree hugging dirt worshiping woman, wife, mom and grandma and homesteader. I am also anti-establishment, pro-environment, outspoken, a truth teller and non-conformist as well as a visionary, poet, artist, herbalist and healer. I speak with animals, stones and those who have crossed over. My spirituality is based on the elegance of nature and the cosmos rather than a personal god. I believe in the supernatural as simply natural and think the only chasm that really exists between the two is in our limited thinking.
I live as simply, sustainably, organically and artistically as I can. I am happiest when living close to Nature and creating, whether I'm preparing a home cooked meal for family and friends, designing a new piece of jewelry, creating a crystal Reiki grid, sculpting, blending oils and herbs or crocheting a shawl or afghan for someone to wrap themselves in.
Mornings often find me stumbling hurriedly from bed, fumbling to find pen and paper to write down dreams, revelations, poems or epiphanies before they are lost in wakefulness.
I love living in Ohio where the seasons change dramatically enough that I still become anxious for Springtime, excited when I see the first firefly in Summer, revel in the crispness of Autumn days filled with umber and amber and delight in the first snowflakes of Winter.
I love sitting on the porch watching summer storms move across the field, capturing Nature in the camera lens, curling up with my cat-child Arther, the satisfaction of a days work well done, summer breezes through the bedroom window wafting across my body, music that touches my soul, movies that touch my heart, and anything that makes me laugh.
I love playing in the rain, singing loudly (despite protests), hugs, kisses and hearing I love you from my grandbabies (and they are grand!), intimate moments, resting under the shade tree, the scent of lilacs and roses, fresh coffee brewing and bread baking and so much more.
I value honesty, integrity and authenticity in myself and others.
