What You Will Find Here
Welcome to a place of tea and poetry, and things that nourish soul and body.
My grandmother had this little saying: If you put a fifty cent plant in a five dollar hole, you’ll have a five dollar plant. She knew that nourishing the seed, the root, was what brought a vibrant plant to life. I never forgot that saying, and every time I plant something I smile remembering it.
We humans are no different. Our roots and seeds -our inner lives – need to be nourished. We can’t expect a beautiful outer life if we are starving for nourishment in the deep ground of our hearts, our minds, and our bodies. This is one of the greatest interests of my life.
With that in mind, I create and sell artisan tea blends. I’m a lover of plant-based healing, and the tea blends I’ve designed are meant for nourishment, while striving to be something pleasant to drink. I incorporate a mix of organic teas, healing herbs, and flowers that I grow myself using organic practices. The shop will be going live at the beginning of November, 2024! Explore more here.
I’m also a poet at heart. I use the word poet loosely, for I have no long list of successful publications after my name. But to me, being a poet is simply a way of being in the world. It’s living an ordinary working life while deeply feeling the way the lights and shadows fall into our lives and shade our memories. I write these lights and shadows into poetry, and share some of it here.
