For me, this art is a call to presence. A reminder to set down my phone and make art, go outside, listen to the birds, tend to my plants, take a hike, plant a garden, lay in the sunshine, listen to the creek, sing, write a new song, dance, look at the stars, and just enjoy the REAL world.

I made this December 2019 and I still think of it often.

Hello 2025 ๐ŸŒผ this year, I will run through the forest and fall deeply in love with the wind. I will get to know the elements like never before. Iโ€™ll let the earth hold me long and gently. Iโ€™ll drink tea by the creek in the mornings and speak aloud gratitude prayers. Iโ€™ll deepen my relationship with Spirit and deepen my listening skills. Iโ€™ll make art, freely, for hours, following what inspires me. Iโ€™ll let my heart take root in the garden of peace and joy. Iโ€™ll fall more and more in love with my life. Iโ€™ll spend time with people that make my heart sing. Iโ€™ll have many deep belly laughs. Iโ€™ll make more music, and sing and share my music. Iโ€™ll spend long days working in the garden. My love and I will finish our home and we will begin our life on our land, living off grid. We will plant our first garden and learn all the lessons it has in store for us. Watch the bulbs we planted pop up for the first time. Get to know the birds and their songs. Listen deeply to the forest we get to call home. And fall more and more in love with each other and this beautiful land we get to call home.

Grateful for all 2024 had to teach me and show me. I feel like I stepped into this new version of me and got to know her so much. Grateful for all the growth ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

The pathway back to peace. ๐ŸŒ€ What does yours look like? Mine usually looks like diving deeper into self care/showing up for myself, making sure Iโ€™m eating lots of animal protein and organic produce, drinking lots of water, moving my body on a daily basis (even just in small ways), making art - consistently, doing things for others just because it feels good, listening more and thinking less, less scrolling/overall scream time, less getting caught in spirals of the mind, expressing my emotions when they come up rather than invalidating them and shutting down my natural process, quiet time where I get to just be in stillness, slowing down when I can, checking off my checklist and getting things done so I donโ€™t overwhelm myself with tasks in the future/taking care of my future self, and consistent time with nature.

Wow, it felt so good to write this out. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Sweet moments at holiday shindig๐ŸŽ„โ™ฅ๏ธ

It was a sweet to come and share music with these amazing people. So grateful to be rooted where I am in these mountains ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Am I tending to the land or just opening the door to allow her to tend to me? ๐ŸŒ„

Pondering this question my love and I make trails on our land that we will walk for many years to come. Creating little roadways that connect all our favorite spots back to our home site.

These thoughts are inspired by the book โ€œBraiding Sweetgrassโ€ a book I have fallen deeply in love with in the past months.

says in this book,

โ€œKnowing that you love the Earth changes you, activates you to defend and protect and celebrate. But when you feel that the Earth loves you and return, that feeling transforms the relationship from a one-way street into a sacred bond.โ€

This book is so full of enriching delicious words. Every sentence like poetry speaking directing to my soul.

The list of loving behaviors in the second photo coming from a chapter where she shared the sacred relationship between us and the earth, and how tending to a garden is a way for us to love the earth and allow her the opportunity to love us back.

I wrote them down to meditate on each which reveals so much about the nature of love.

๐Ÿ’” The rivers and land that raised me are forever changed.

September 28th Hurricane Helene devastated thousands, moving from a category 1 to a category 4 hurricane in one day.

This land (specifically Asheville area) is said to flood once every 1000 years.

We are seeing history take place.

My heart aches as I hear the story my homeland now holds.

The river currents I have danced in and prayed with the most in my life are the same currents that took homes, resources, and lives. ๐Ÿ’”

As the reality of the situation settles, my heart fills with sorrow and hope for renewal.

Feeling my grief reach to the depths of my love for this land and all those effected.

I had no idea the level of devastation until getting to talk to a close friend in Burnsville NC, itโ€™s much worse than we know.

๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ People are unable to leave their mountaintop homes because of roads being washed away, being stranded unable to receive resources.

๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ The entire water plants washed away leaving thousands without clean running water.

๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ Thousands of people lost their homes and businesses.

๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ Thousands as missing and hundreds have lost their lives.

๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ 400 roads are closed and unable to be crossed because of the damage to the roads, mudslides, fallen trees.

Its crazy to see photos of the devastation and know right where many of the photos were taken.

To see places destroyed that will forever be part of me and my story.

My heart is aching for Appalachia.

Please pray for those devastated by the storm. May Helene survivors have the resources they need to be nourished in all ways, may the roads be rebuilt, may the homeless find new homes, may new life flourish, may all be safe, may all beings find the light in this storm.

I am sharing this to raise awareness because many donโ€™t know the weight of the situation.
