About me

In 2005 I was hospitalized for a mental breakdown and then placed on disability.
I have spent everyday since then learning about, struggling with, and healing from mental illness.
It is my goal to move beyond being labeled disabled and achieve mental wellness.
To not only survive; but to thrive.
I hope to inspire others to do the same.

Happy Fall Equinox!🍁

Sixteen years ago, this month, my mind and body completely shut down and I found myself hospitalized. It was explained to me that I had a mental breakdown, and so begun a long journey of recovery.

Had such a blast on our mother/daughter camping trip! It was so nice to unplug and reconnect with ourselves, each other, and nature

Turns out my ankle is broken, not sprained, so my recovery time is lengthened which triggers frustration and depression.

Just when I'd given up on my morning glory ever blooming, this weekend right before the storm I was delighted to be greeted by this gorgeous purple flower reminding me to never lose hope.

Feeling grateful for my herbal knowledge and plant allies. With my recent sprained ankle, I turned to the plants for healing. I used Bach's Rescue Remedy the first few days to calm my system and am taking Solomon's seal & Wild lettuce extracts for pain management and to support healing. Then I mixed infused oils of Solomon's seal, Wintergreen, Canna-leaf, and Comfrey with some Witch Hazel extract and Lavender essential oil, and applied all over my swelling and bruising, then wrapped my whole foot in Comfrey leaves. I did this for 3 days and have had great improvements. I am still using the oil mixture but the Comfrey leaves began to irritate my skin. It has a slight sting similar to Nettles.
