My Big Life Update:

I have officially retire from child care. My future promises to be an adventure! My husband and I have moved to our property in Black River Falls, WI, and I look forward to continuing work on my trails and sacred sites, and spending time writing. I am currently working as a freelance Proofreader and Copy Editor (contact me if you are in need of one), and would LOVE for this to become my full-time job! I will be putting some time into updating my YouTube page as well (The Driftless Ones). Check it out at https://youtube.com/?si=zrGNs6AaMdyQS0uO

I will also be spending a significant amount of time writing the remaining The Wheel of the Year series (eight books total, Samhain and Yule are already published — contact me if you still need them). The books can also be found at Garden Wall Bookshop in Verona, WI, along with the majority of my current crocheted merchandise (baskets, bags, and amulets). Although The Ecstatic Spirit will not be vending in 2026, I hope to return to vending in 2027.

Have a blessed summer! I know I will!!!

I have not vended my sarongs and crocheted baskets for nearly a year, and do not have plans to vend until after this summer (at the earliest). I do, however, have a website and would like to let everyone know that there are many items for sale: shipping or free pickup (in Verona, WI) is available on my website, The Ecstatic Spirit. Please feel free to stop by and pick anything up that you may need for summer festivities!! Please allow 4 - 6 weeks for delivery, although I intend to get orders out as quickly as possible. Thank you in advance!! (Feel free to share.)
