Oh so right, Buddha. As I contemplate life before my car accident and after, I realize something remarkable. Life before the accident was almost TOO good. Too easy. The accident is the universe’s reminder that bad things happen. It is a reminder that I have been through rough patches before and there is always a lesson to learn. And I always come out wiser and stronger on the other side. This time is no different. I’m healing, I’m dealing and I’m kicking ass if I do say so myself. I’m not done reflecting on all the nuances of this lesson, but I can say I am feeling very good about the future. There has been a distinct shift in my world, and all is looking up from here.
At least until the universe decides it’s time for a new lesson.
If you like it, share it!

I am perpetually curious and intend to share what I learn to encourage us all to be connected--with each other, to nature and to the planet. I am guided by the values of empathy and gratitude, and believe they gather us together in community. When we are thriving in community, we have the ability to be agents of change for our friends, family, our neighborhood and the world.
Nature has an unbelievable power to heal--through the plants she displays or spending time in her presence. I am currently enrolled at Cincinnati State Technical College pursuing certification in Landscape Design to bring the benefits of plants to my community.
As a student of Shamanism I believe the human and non-human inhabitants of our world are interconnected, and advocate a return to the indigenous view of revering all, only taking what is needed, and giving back to the Earth.
I have been happily married for 16 years to a man that is also a nature lover and supports me unconditionally in my spiritual journey.
