Sometimes doors need to close so they can open in the future. After much reflection I have decided to close Moonflower for the foreseeable future. Virtual work is a wonderful option but my true dream has always been to meet with clients in person and have my own bulk apothecary. My family's needs are too high for that to be feasible right now. I love you sweet friends and clients. I look forward to reopening in a few years with a physical location. Thank you for all your support.

This year has been a fire of hard. As the wheel turns towards autumn, I am so ready for the reset I always find in the cooler months. Sourdough, harvests, stormy skies and an inner calm are all exactly what I need right now. Lean into the new season emerging and make room for all that is coming your way.

๐ŸŒณThere are very few things in the world that can't be helped by taking a walk in the woods. ๐ŸŒณ

๐Ÿ˜ฅ Stressed? Head to the woods, she will give you guidance

๐Ÿ˜ญ Sad? Cry to the trees

๐Ÿคฌ Angry? The forest can hold your rage

๐Ÿ˜Š Happy? Frolicking in the woods will just make it better

๐Ÿ˜” Lonely? Befriend your local flora and fauna

One of the things I love about Michigan is how many forests and pockets of woods you can find. The magick of trees is something often overlooked, even in healing spaces. Our ancestors revered these giants for good reason, get out there and hang with the trees more and life will feel slightly more manageable - promise. ๐Ÿ’š

So so SO very many of the choices I have made in life were in search of these elusive feelings. I am ok. We are ok. Everything is ok.

Here is the thing, it was always there. I had it and was still running around making wildly out of my truth choices striving for something I already had just by existing as a human being on this glorious spinning rock. ๐ŸŒ

Just like joy and love, and are mainly an inside job. Externally getting a boost of them helps and feels great but it is the sprinkles on the sundae not the whole sundae. If you don't believe deeply that you are living in a way in line with your values and truth, you will constantly be looking to those around you to see if they agree with what you are doing, if they want to do it too, if they think it was a good idea.

If you can let go of the external search and get real deep within yourself you will KNOW you are supported and find all the validation you need. Like attracts like and living your truth brings the people and places that with that inner truth to you- no striving and compromising yourself needed. The earth is cradling you. The trees have your back. The sky is watching over you. Your ancestors are cheering you on. Living as YOU is the easiest and hardest thing you can ever do.

Easy because all your choices and decisions are less fraught with all or nothing, good to bad, thinking- you know what do and what is right for you. Harder because truly living your truth usually means going against the grain in some sort of way and that will trigger the people around you who are still fighting hard for the external check that what THEY are doing is "right" and it feels more right the more people do the same.

Mama, the earth is cradling and supporting all of us. If your inner truth and guides lead you to doing the exact opposite of me in every single moment, but you are living aligned in yourself - I FU***NG LOVE THAT. You do you and I'll do me and that diversity is what makes the world glow. Keep resting in your own validation and support!

I don't know about you but I NEEDED the release of that full moon.

This year has given me ample opportunities to work on that loud voice of anxiety in my mind. That bitch is mean and real sure we should try to control everything to make it better.

The illusion of that control is EXACTLY what I released with this Moon cycle. Anxiety driven choices needed to be shed to make room for trust, intuition, and waiting.

Some reminders I needed

๐ŸŒ™ I am doing my best

๐ŸŒ™ I can only control what I do and put out there in the world

๐ŸŒ™ I am not for everyone but MY people are always for me and in my corner without judgement

๐ŸŒ™ I don't have to entertain the volumes of unspoken crap in between the actual words. If it needs my attention people will be direct, if not it is not my issue

๐ŸŒ™ I do not have to justify a single thing I do

๐ŸŒ™ I don't want to spend the remainder of my life living only for what other people want and not for me

๐ŸŒ™ I have been people pleasing for almost four decades, it is going to take some practice before it becomes natural to not

What are you letting go of with this Moon cycle so there is room for new growth?

The seasons are beginning to shift and after a hard summer I am ready to embrace a new season of calm, inner work, harvest, and slow quiet growth and healing.

My sourdough starter (Charlie) has come back from fridge retirement with a bang and I am intentionally trying to start our mornings slow with soft music and tea and quiet. Regulate these high strung nervous systems to meet the day grounded and clear.

Let's take a peek at some of the herbal allies I keep on hand in my Home Apothecary.

๐ŸŒฟ Comfrey (๐’ฎ๐“Ž๐“‚๐“…๐’ฝ๐“Ž๐“‰๐“Š๐“‚ ๐‘œ๐’ป๐’ป๐’พ๐’ธ๐’พ๐“ƒ๐’ถ๐“๐‘’) has been a part of herbal healing and folk magick for centuries. This old European plant is incredibly healing- so healing I advise you not to use it until you are SURE the bone is set or the wound is cleaned out or you may heal faster than is healthy.

I love comfrey in salves, creams, bath salts, compresses, and soaks. She has an affinity for Saturn and water and is powerful in healing magick, money spells, and safety during travel.

โš ๏ธComfrey has high levels of pyrrolizidine alkaloids - which has been found to damage the liver. I suggest only using homeopathic comfrey internally and using the whole plant externally or in spell work.

Have you gotten to know comfrey yet?

The Queen of Harvest Season, Goldenrod (๐“ข๐“ธ๐“ต๐“ฒ๐“ญ๐“ช๐“ธ ๐“ผ๐“น๐“น.) has begun gracing our meadows, trail sides, and fence lines with her golden beauty. โœจ

Goldenrod blooming is always a sign to me that the harvest has truly begun. Goldenrod is used to call in abundance and is a forever flower ~ making her the perfect companion for the season. She is also a wonderful ally if you are feeling lost ๐Ÿงญ

๐•„๐•–๐••๐•š๐•”๐•š๐•Ÿ๐•’๐•๐•๐•ช Goldenrod is a cooling and stimulating bitter herb. Helpful for fatigue, allergies, urinary tract concerns, inflamed wounds, slow digestion and dry scalp skin. Goldenrod is useful from root to the blooms and leaves. ๐ŸŒฟ

I love to harvest and prepare this herbal ally to bring some sunshine and abundant health to my body all year long.

This first Harvest celebration of the year I want to invite you in on a secret. Here is your invitation to step out of the race.

Slow down. The to do list will still be there. Few things in life require the urgency and anxiety that gets piled on top. Most things can be taken slow and easy.

If you're anything like you me you have a drill sergeant in your mind run solely on anxiety shouting at you to go faster, do more, don't stop, try harder.

Where did that voice lead me?

๐Ÿ“ข Burnout

๐Ÿ“ข Chronic Health Issues

๐Ÿ“ข Resentment

๐Ÿ“ข Exhaustion

That is not how I want to spend my one wild and precious journey in this lifetime.

The best solution I have found is to build in moments of slowing down into my day to day. Then, slowly but surely the drill sergeant gets quieter and ease can be found in other moments. Practice makes progress.

Ways to add slowness to your day:

๐Ÿซง Have an afternoon tea time, turn off your electronics, listen to some soothing music or read some poetry

๐Ÿซง Take slow leisurely baths or showers

๐Ÿซง Do nothing but BE while drinking your morning coffee or tea- no phone, no multitasking

๐Ÿซง Set times with no devices throughout your day

๐Ÿซง Spend an hour outside every day regardless of the weather

๐ŸซงTake the scenic route and blast some tunes

๐Ÿซง Craft a personalized morning and evening routine

๐Ÿซง Practice the pause before responding

You got this and you deserve ease and peace.
