LOVINGKINDNESS TO A FRIEND

Yesterday, the sweet soul behind the Apothecary Circle, Laura Emily had two emotionally upsetting events occur... ones that would of for sure have sent me into a wild fit of rage and sorrow and fall to the floor helpless kind of feeling.  Which I can only imagine that she felt all of these things too.  My friend Katelyn invited me to join along with her in a releasing ceremony, to send loving healing vibes Laura's way.  You can see how Katelyn chose to send her love

here

.  I loved her intention of having 13 crystals, representing Laura, her husband Tyler, and the 11 babies she has now miscarried.  So I gathered 13 mountain laurel seeds.  These are the little seeds my mother leaves me from time to time.  To me they are one of the most sacred things on earth.  As I cleansed them with sage, I sent many loving words your way Laura.  I had a little heart to heart with you.

I brought my sacred sexuality candle with me outside since there was no light outside, being the new moon.  I thought Laura would like that since it would have

Athena's

love in there too.

I buried them in the ground, and I spoke some more words to you Laura, letting you know these seeds are being planted for you tonite, under the new moon, and it reminded me of the post I shared this morning on

the bohemian collective

, about the balance of death and life.  The cycle of something passing, making room to sow new seeds.  Although I'm sure you are sick of that cycle...  I am too, just in other ways... But I put the love of new beginnings in this dirt.  And then I sealed it with wax from Athena's candle. 

You were held today, by both katelyn and I, digging our hands in the earth.  Thank you for being a teacher to us, in so many ways.

BOHEMIAN PRAYER FLAGS // WALL HANGINGS

I've been working for a few weeks on these yummy textile flags and I just listed them all in

my shop

!  Each one is one of a kind.  I'll be taking custom orders if you would like your own prayer flag to say a certain something.  I'm going to be making myself one with my word for the year, CULTIVATE.  So, ladies of the Apothecary Circle (or anyone else), if you would like a flag with your word for the year to reflect on, just send me a message on etsy.

I'm absolutely smitten with all of these flags, and don't really want to part with any of them.  I thought about keeping one, but I loved them all so equally... So I'm just going to make one with myself in mind soon.  I'll be hanging it in a sacred space I can reflect on anytime I need a little reminder of my intentions for this year.  

Have you chosen a word for the year?  If so, I'd love to hear.  I think we could all inspire each other by sharing them.


THREADS - EARTHY GEOMETRIC

This is two outfits in one posts.  Sheinside sent me this super cuddly snuggly sweater... It is the most crazy cuddle sweater ever, Im serious.  Im actually wearing it right now, just the sweater, while drinking my coffee.  It could almost be like a winter robe...  I love the colors and patterns too, so that is just an added bonus. 

When I put this next outfit together the other day, I really thought I was going to wear this sweater out... but it ended up being just a tad too much and too warm... so I switched sweaters... I thought I'd show the option of both so I photographed both for you! 

Now here is the outfit with another sweater... very similar colors and patterns.  It was just more suitable for our events for that day.  Im kind of a layering fool at times, I know.. I cant help myself.
