This Browns Peony was dug from its wild habitat and gifted to me last year. (thanks, Mike)

I wandered around the yard for a couple of days, deciding where to plant it. Then I planted it where I thought the environment would be similar to where it came from.

Then it shriveled up and looked dead. Then it completely disappeared, and I thought, welp… guess that didn’t work. Damn.

But I kept watering it the rest of the fall with my fingers crossed.

And it came back!! I'm so thrilled it decided to stick around!

One of the things about working with plants long enough is realizing they each have a personality.

Some comfort you. Some challenge you.

Some call your bu****it immediately, like Dandelion.

Adapt or stay stuck. Your choice.

Pulled a card today—The River.

Flow.

…yeah. Definitely need more of that but...

I want a deck with a card that says:

What the f**k are you doing?

You’re overthinking.
You don’t know.

And honestly? That’s fine.
Fu**ed up. Insecure. Neurotic. Emotional. 😂

Just eat some damn chocolate.
Lose your s**t if you need to.

Then.

Take a breath.
Take a walk.
Take a nap if you need to.

It’s okay to be where you are.

What would your card say?

You know that thing where your brain just keeps circling the same thought, like somehow this time it’s gonna land on a different answer?

Yeah. That. Because it’s not helpful. It’s just f**king annoying.

That’s why I take Skullcap.

It helps me break that pattern just enough so I can get a little space from it.

Mostly… I’m still me.

Taking Cleavers right now, too, because spring = things need to move.

What plants are you reaching for right now?

The plants aren’t doing anything new.

They’re not confused. They’re not trying to be everything.

They just… are what they are.

Which makes it pretty obvious who’s overcomplicating things. 😂🙄

It’s Earth Day! Although the Earth doesn’t actually need a post.

It needs people who actually pay attention. You’re in the relationship either way.

Plants are still holding up their end.

No pressure. 💚

The thoughts don’t go away, you just stop taking the bait.
