Favorite Pet Picture: In honor of #WildlandFirefighterDay, and our upcoming celebrations, I introduce you to Firework. This little girl is 5 months old. There is no information for her other than a simple medical status. But, looking at her eyes lets me know that she needs some love. She is currently being cared for through A New Leash on Life, Inc.. If you know her fur-ever family, pass this along and introduce them.
(A special thank you to the firefighters, smokejumpers, hotshots, and ALL those involved in the fighting of fires, the fire prevention, and the healthy burning of our natural lands!)
Favorite Book Quote: Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer
“Knowing that you love the earth changes you, activates you to defend and protect and celebrate. But when you feel that the earth loves you in return, that feeling transforms the relationship from a one-way street into a sacred bond.”
Random Favorite: Community Festivals
Last night we went to a community festival. They had a very entertaining music group on stage, a few free rides, some lawn games, and a few food trucks. The evening ended with fireworks. It’s so much fun to be outdoors, in a relaxed environment, having fun with the people I love!
What were some of your favorite things this week?
& a Q
Question: Will our actions kill the earth?
Do you remember when we were all in lockdown for two weeks? There were so many pictures of the rejuvenation of the land being posted all over the place. That was just from TWO-WEEKS of us giving the earth a rest.
Mother Earth is amazing. She is so big and so powerful.
We like to think that we are so powerful and so in control of everything, but SHE is the one who gives US life.
She can heal herself profoundly and quickly.
She can also do things to regain her own balance.
I believe that when our emotions and actions get out of balance she is affected as well. She may respond with a natural disaster. She does not do this as a punishment. It’s just the way she regains her balance. Fires, for her, are incredibly purifying. In California, certain trees require fire to create a new generation. Earthquakes can shift the discomfort she feels as a result of the disrespect she receives. Storms or drought signal an imbalance as well. I also know that when the land and her boundaries are respected, there is less loss of property and life when natural disasters do occur.
It is her that has the power. It is us who should respect it. We will kill ourselves through our poor choices long before we can damage her beyond her ability to heal.
But I believe she loves us and wants us to thrive. So, let’s show her the respect she insists upon and we can all heal together.

I’ve finally got my website up! Each week, I’ll feature a product or service. This week, I’m featuring Stone Sessions!
Do you have problems with:
excessive scrolling on social media?
mindless eating?
always needing to be perfect - do more - accumulate degrees or other “success”?
being uncomfortable being alone?
needing to always be on the move?
having too much stuff?
having poor boundaries?
Stones, like plants (like the ones used in herbal formulas), have an amazing ability to support the body, mind, and spirit. Stones and plants just work on a different level. Herbs are great for healing physical issues. For example, mint tea can make a sore throat feel so much better! Stones work on the energetic level, so they’re great for the issues listed above, and so much more!
A stone session will allow you to talk through the issue you’d like to address and then you’ll get personalized gemstone recommendations, descriptions of how to use the stones, and meditations to go along with the stones.
Be a part of it all!
