Though I am a writer in my soul, I am still learning the ways of professional writing. I am only a few years into publishing, and it can certainly be a humbling, yet profoundly enjoyable journey. With much more learning and sources of creativity to tap into, I wanted to now share with you, my readers, a few of my smaller works, published as ebooks (instant downloads). These are fast-access gifts if you are in need of one :-) I hope you find something inspiring to your own pu

I have a deep appreciation for women who take the sufferings of their own experiences, and transform them into healing wisdom to share with others! It's beyond inspiring to learn how a soul can take the ashes of life and make something beautiful. Since I believe in the power of plants providing elements of healing to our systems, I can't help but support others who further this mission and the ancient passion of botanical medicine!

I use essential oils every day and have for over 20 years- they've proven their therapeutic value to me. So, instead of buying a

Moving on to Part 2 of holistic wellness-focused gifts! I do not need another pair of cheap socks or processed candy I won't eat. As I type that, it sounds quite rude. I hate to be rude. But I also do not like waste, especially my dear ones spending their money on me with items I do not need. However, I am a mega-fan of ebooks. I realize that's not everyone's cup of joy, but it can make a creative gift! Don't you love the knowledge and imagination a book can hold? With e

It is officially November. Let the holiday preparation begin! :-) If you're like me, I start window shopping well before this time. I'm not an overboard shopper, but I do enjoy giving gifts that can add value to another's state of wellbeing (body, soul & spirit). This series of posts will focus on these types of gifts- ones that can add health, beauty, and goodness to the receiver. Of course, these are my personal ideas, so you pick and choose which ones may suit your lo
