She always knows what to say. I met her in the 90’s at Barnes & Noble and I asked her a question. I wish I could remember what. I know that she was taken aback in a delighted way and I wrote the answer somewhere. Somewhere in this story there must be the part where I blackout from nerves LOL

Happy Earth Day! I spent my first Earth Day in Woodstock 40 years ago and here’s what I’m up to tonight. I’m so happy that the class is going to be crowded for Braiding Sweetgrass. Mother Earth deserves all of our care and respect. We seem to forget that this is truly our only home.

If you’ve been in one of my guided meditations you might have heard me say something similar to this. There is Om in every sound.

Why do I say this? In its most practical terms, when you are trying to settle in for meditation or contemplation or trying to sleep, sound can become a great agitator. So, we seek out the Om in that sound. Easy enough if it’s a loud blowing heater not as easy with the neighbors barking dog. This I know LOL.

In some traditions it’s believed that Om is the underlying vibration of all sound. And if you’ve ever heard someone chanting Om, it’s a pretty beautiful sound. So, when we seek this sound out we tell our nervous system that the annoying sound is just vibration. We go from threat mode to safety. Our exhale lengthens and our hyper vigilance softens.

Follow me for more weird tips LOLOL

This cannot be real. I’ve created my ultimate dream because of all of you that come a’ callin’. I knew you’d show up and I’d just have to be patient and then you came. And you keep on coming.

And the most magical thing is that I manifested a space so cozy and natural to work from. My home. This is why it’s soooo affordable and I get to spend oodles of time deeply truly and madly seeing your wild hearts.

Little secret time. When I was young I used to pretend I was the village shaman and I make potions to cure them. Ok when I was working in my lab bathroom at 7 yo shaving cream and mouth wash were added in Dixie Cups and given to the villagers (my cousins) for their different ailments. Didn’t really have access to botanicals but a girls gotta learn from some where. Why not in my parents bathroom in Inwood at 5000 Broadway.

All hail each and every one of
You. Busiest year yet.
