Twice I dreamt of a blue butterfly last night. Tossing a little piece of paper into the sky both times turned into a beautiful butterfly that fluttered down landing on my head.

Butterflies are powerful symbols…. Blue butterflies symbolize love, hope and transformation and I love that it landed on my head… spiritual transformation.

Being in my early 60s I have such an appreciation for all life around me and can now so easily let go of the stuff that doesn’t matter. We humans are powerful beings and if we let go a bit, get outside, breathe and meditate we can unleash so much good!

Get out of your head and back into nature. 💚🙏🧘‍♀️

I've followed Dr. Lustig for years...ever since I took the Integrative Nutrition Health Coach program. Please take time to listen especially if you have little kids. Sugar is seriously toxic.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru and Dr. Robert Lustig discuss the impact of added sugar on mitochondrial health and metabolism.

For my Northeast followers that are interested in planting native plants, trees, shrubs and vines…. I’ve looked at a ton of books as well as many online resources and if I had to pick one go to, this would be it. It is so well laid out, filled with gorgeous photos and packed with information on each plant.

A little harbor cruise that turned into looking at possible Bimini designs and then to dinner at Midtown Oyster Bar

Lupine, one of my favorites and the star of one of my favorite children’s books, “Miss Rumphius” by Barbara Cooney. Always remember to leave the world a more beautiful place. 💚

I have a whole new appreciation for bees, bugs and caterpillars 🐛 I was so excited to see this little one on our native northern bayberry bush. If you plant it, they will come! According to entomologist Doug Tallamy, it takes between 6000 and 9000 caterpillars to raise a single clutch of chickadees!

Plant a wide variety of native plants, trees and shrubs in your yard in order to provide a food web that will feed a wide variety of pollinators.

The second photo is of our bee hotel which has several sleepy guests 🐝 who have yet to come out.

The pollinator garden has extended out into the whole front yard and back. With the addition of:
Northern Bayberry bushes
Inkberry bushes
Switchgrass
Little Bluestem grasses
Sweet Pepper Bushes
American Plum tree
Serviceberry tree
P***y Willow tree
Dwarf Chestnut Oak tree
More Yarrow, Cone Flower,
Zizia aurea, Asters, and Anise hyssop. I dug a lot of holes in the last two days 😅 and loved every minute of it! I’m creating a path of all native plants leading to the pollinator garden in one direction and seating around the fire pit off to the other end. I can’t wait to watch it all fill in over the years!

Rewilding is a progressive approach to conservation. It's about letting nature take care of itself, enabling natural processes to shape land and sea, repair damaged ecosystems and restore degraded landscapes. Through rewilding, wildlife's natural rhythms create wilder, more biodiverse habitats.

There is never enough time in the day but you just have to stop and enjoy the process. We are in the midst of two bathroom renovations and I thought this part would be fun… the YouTube video made it look easy but… she didn’t peel right off 😳😂

My new favorite “sun tea!” I made tea last night and forgot to drink it and low and behold, I took a sip of it this morning and it was even better tasting cold! This lemon ginger tea by is my new favorite and also a good way to get more water in daily. How much water? Try drinking half of your body weight in ounces a day. For example, if you weigh 140 lbs then try to drink 70 ounces of water a day. 💦 Think of your body and your brain as a plant….when that plant doesn’t get enough water it wilts and shrinks. 😉 😳
