I’m Blossoming

A stranger walking into your kitchen might think you were a botanist or a chemist based on the plants hanging up in your living room, and the bottles and jars of plant infusions on window sills and in dark cupboards.  The local liquor store is dropping hints about joining alanon based on your monthly purchases of vodka and brandy.

While you have more energy than you had 10 years ago, you are coming up against a few minor issues.

Organization is your bane.  Bottles of infused oils and infused tinctures, are in boxes under your bed.  In November the herbs you bundled to dry back in August are still hanging and gathering dust.  You bought a pound of dried calendula from an online herb supplier not realizing that you’d need  10 quart jars to store it all.   By the time it actually arrived you’ve forgotten where the recipe was that you wanted to make with it.

You are in the full glory of the DIY Herbalist Path and your blooming is radiant.  Freedom feels amazing!  You are no longer second guessing your herbal intuition.  You know which herbs you need.  And what you really need is guidance to focus on one herbal ally, one DIY herbal project or one aspect of herbalism at a time.

So many shiny things!  Stay focused on the prize.
