seeing everyone’s ten year growth got to me and i had to do my own!
nothing’s changed, and everything has.
in 2016 i was in boston, still cooking all the things, still gathering with friends, still making medicine. i was in the midst of my second year of study with & immersed in my local yoga studio. i was foraging, wearing only barefoot shoes, rarely using electric lights, and sleeping on the floor (intentionally! 😂).
i was also leaving an abusive relationship, working full time as a pastry chef, starting my business, and felt like i was a part of many worlds at the same time. i was often overwhelmed & tired. was by side through it all. helping me find plants in the forest, lounging around the house, and eating all my snacks!
i sleep in a bed now, and has moved on to his next life, but here i still am cooking all the things, connecting with friends, playing with herbs, and often barefoot. and i am grateful.
