Tumbleweeding
Nature is spitting out lessons every second. When I'm able to check out of my own head and look around--at this beautiful earth I get to live on--I can literally hear the plants talking to me. They are screaming at society, with love of course: yearning to show us what they know. Ever notice how people have cancer but trees don't? They adapt.

How To Use Plants as Medicine
You can probably guess what I’m going to say because it’s been a re-occuring theme, so of course, listen to your self---no one knows you better than you (not one doctor--i promise!) so however you feel urged to take your herbs, I suggest you do it.

Talk to Yourself (nicely)
You have to talk to yourself...and you have to do it nicely. At first when I talk about talking to yourself, people think that it is nuts, but the reality of the situation is we talk to ourselves constantly (through our thoughts) and most of us talk to ourselves terribly. We allow ourselves to hear lies or bad things through the way in which we speak to ourselves..for example, we say things like: “I feel anxious. I’m sick. I don’t feel good.

Fairy Tales are real.
Fairy tales are real. Love stories exist. Life altering love lives. Sure, some people are deceptive, cheat, hurt others, manipulate, control, demean...but all t...hat stems from fear and ego. I'd rather live my life with 100 heart breaks knowing that I was true and honest, I said what I wanted, I trusted without question, I lived without fear, I looked at this person and saw raw love, not fear or expectation. Be stronger than your weaknesses---they are not you. Fairy tales ar
