a blog about all things good and green, living with the land, & loving with the whole heart


I am a child of the Earth. I love life. I am full of a deep gratitude to be here having this experience. All I have ever wanted was to live a simple life. To be on the land, connected with all the life there, in sync with the seasons and the harmony of nature. I live my life in service to Mother Earth and with deep respect for her many peoples; furred, feathered, scaled, two legged and otherwise. I believe that we are the universe experiencing itself, and so I want to make this existence a rich, adventurous, purposeful life.
In my lifetime, I seek to exist in a way which is loving to all beings. To respect people and place. As such, I am in and endless examination of my "self," finding a path to live by which is ethical, sustainable, mindful, and leaves a light footprint behind. Challenging "the norm" is something I am passionate about. I believe change is made by existing in a way which you want things to be.
I hope to leave behind a legacy which inspires people to live their life fully, and in a way that honors the unique experience of 'Being' that we are blessed with. I want to show people that loving deeply is the key to living the best life.
My muses, heroes, and mentors...
I would not be the person I am today if not for the collective wisdom and love I've received from others. Here I intend to honor them by name.
