From Under the Elder Tree

Welcome to my section of the internet. I prefer to remain anonymous for a bit, until I get comfortable writing consistently.

A few things about me:

-I’m an herbalist and I love plants with a passion. I read, write and teach about them as much as I can. I make my own medicines and love it.

-I’m a wife to a wonderful man. We’ve been married for 8 years and I’ve loved every minute of our adventure together.

-I have 2 kids who are smart, beautiful and fun. The joys of my life. We have a lot of fun and they are very sweet humans.

-I have 2 cats, Jefferey and Steven. I like Jeff but Steve bothers me quite a bit. I guess he can stay but he keeps waking me up throwing rocks around my room.

-I’ve been sober off of heroin for 7 years. Off psych meds for 6. I had a traumatizing c-section birth with my first kid so decided to go crunchy with my second and had an all natural vbac home birth. (I’m proud of those accomplishments and if anyone has been through it knows it’s a big deal) I will probably write about it more in depth at some point.

-I’m pretty anti everything mainstream and I’m trying to figure out how to live in the modern world while attempting to be reasonably happy.

-I walked on fire last year and that was cool. Ice climbed up a mountain. Hiked 20 miles in 8 hours which was dope.

-I am at peace on a long hike, the kind when your legs start to give out but you keep going cause your car is still 4 miles away. I love being in nature.

I guess that’s all and sums me up pretty nicely I suppose.

My chakras are blocked from holding in my creative energy for the last few years. I’m trying to get comfortable writing again and tackling some bigger projects. I have a lot of ideas but we will see what happens with them.

I love bear blog - I’m not a social media person so I like the all text format.

Welcome, and thanks for being here.
