I have been actively removing myself from Google’s ecosystem as much as I possibly can.
I started the job early last year but got overwhelmed with my 20+ year account history of Gmail and kind of gave up.
Well, I’m back at it and determined as hell to get it done.
It’s exhausting.

Planted my holy basil today. I’m planning to put 6 in the ground so I planted 12 cells. Which means I’m going to find a way to plant 12. Because tulsi.
I’m scaling my garden back significantly this year. I moved and simply don’t have as much room as I used to.
Even so, most of my seeds are started and I’m once again going to have extras.
I definitely understand why people would sell their extra plants. I’m just happier giving them away. 🌱
After 8+ months away, I think I’m finally ready to be back.
I’ve been busy working in my community and in my home, doing all I know to resist and build local resilience. And while I return rather battered, I remain steadfast.
I’m happy to be back, and I look forward to reconnecting with you all. 🖤
Offerings don’t have to be perfect.
Your spirits would rather have tap water and honesty than wine and pretense.

My birthday is Tuesday. I’m incredibly excited about the gift I just got myself.

Happy Earth Day! 🌎
I decided to celebrate by giving away plants to my neighbors. Including some adorable lavender starts that the pollinators will love. 🐝
How are you celebrating?

Make bread. Share it with your neighbors. That is one of the best things we can do.

So, I was planning to clean everything…
In my defense, I did clean some things, and then this happened.
Gonna crank up the music, clean house, and cleanse this freaking energy! ✨
With all that’s going on and all the fear and negativity being pushed on us, this might have to become a weekly routine.
Mine is back. I hope we get a report.
My other account is completely down. Has been for maybe 5 min now.

Garden update: I have way too many plants! 😂
It’s a good problem to have. Means I can gift something of value to neighbors during these challenging times.
You’d think I’d learn my lesson and plant less, but no. I’ll do the exact same thing next year.
Seed starting is a gamble. This year, I won! 🌱
I don’t have enough room for all my seed starts. I’m a bit overwhelmed and still have 3 rounds of sowing to do. BUT…having a surplus means I’ll be able to gift some to neighbors. So while I don’t know what I’m going to do about it, I’m determined to figure it out.
Louder for Fetterman in the bac…who seems to have left the room.
Yes! I have it streaming on my TV, phone, computer, and iPad while I get some things done around the house. My son (whom I homeschool) decided he wanted to stream it as well, so he has it running on his phone while he works at his desk. Normally I wouldn’t allow YouTube during learning time, but…
OMG I love this so much!
Thank you!! ✨🖤
No but I absolutely love the idea and think I’ll adopt it if that’s okay with you?
🤗
😍
Oh no, you’re not the only one! I feel so bad, and also I’m laughing hysterically. 🤣 I’m so sorry!
Oh noooo!!! 🤣🤣🤣
…some liquid food.
They got their first feeding today at 1/4 strength (don’t want to burn them) and I’m super excited to see what impact it has.
Next batch of seeds will be planted next week.
I love garden season! 🌿 (2/2)

Was writing this month’s newsletter until my mouse died. While I wait for it to charge (I know, I know) I thought I’d share some of my 2025 garden adventures.
I started seedlings a couple weeks ago and they’re doing great. For the first time EVER I’ve decided to fertilize my seedlings with… (1/2)
Oooh 😯 Thank you!
The smell you’re creating is LOADS better than the smell I’m creating 🤣
