It’s official — my interview with Voyage Baltimore has been published.
Running a metaphysical marketplace isn’t just incense and crystals. It’s risk, growth, healing, and a whole lot of courage.
Thank you to everyone who walks through the doors and makes this space what it is.

Today we’d like to introduce you to Helen Monica. Hi Helen, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today? This path has been part of my family for generations. Working with herbs, stones, and spiritual practice wasn’t something I “fo...

Nothing but love over here.
Some days I wrestle the voices in my head.
Some days I silence them. Completely.
And in that quiet —
I remember who I am.
This space was built from that remembering.
From choosing truth over fear.
Presence over noise.
I live my life authentically here.
Not perfectly. Just honestly.
And that is enough.

I hear people say “I hate people” a lot.

But what if people are more like lemons? 🍋

I’ll be honest—I’ve never really liked fruit in general. I don’t fully trust it. The expectation is there, but the delivery isn’t always.You bite in expecting sweet… and sometimes you get bland.
Or sour.
Or mealy.

But lemons? Lemons are different. A lemon is exactly what it is—bright, sharp, honest. You don’t cut into one and get surprised. It’s consistent. It shows up as itself every time.

Even people who don’t like lemons still rely on them.
In baking. In cooking. In drinks.

We love what lemons do—how they balance, sharpen, and transform everything around them. Same lemon. Different outcome.

It all depends on context, combination, and intention.

Sure, once in a while you cut into a lemon and it’s gone bad—but most of the time, you know exactly what you’re getting.

Maybe people are like that too.
Not everyone is meant to be enjoyed raw.

Not everyone is dessert. But many are essential ingredients. Maybe it’s not that we hate people. Maybe we just don’t trust unmet expectations.
