I've decided that I will not be setting up at the farmers market this year. 💚

I'm putting everything into my garden, getting my cottage stand up and running, and health.

I'm also still working on downsizing what I make.

I hope everyone has a fantastic summer!

Folks are feeling on edge, agitated, irritated etc...

Normally calm, laid-back people are snapping at others. People with temper issues are finding it much harder to control. People are lashing out at one another, then immediately wishing they hadn't.

It's widespread and affecting many, including myself and I'm generally very easygoing.

Some things that might help are...

Be contious of it, for yourself and others.

Get plenty of rest. Stay hydrated and well nourished.

Breathe 💚

Lemonbalm (Melissa officinalis)

Chammomile (Matricaria recutita) or (Chamaemelum nobile)

Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata)

Valerian (Valeriana officinalis)

CBD

Much calm, peace, love & healing for us all

Many people these days are on edge, nerves frayed. Anxiety, irritability, depression etc...

Nothing works for everyone. There's no such thing as a cure all. But there are many things that can help and I'll try to post different options and ideas.

Today I'll share what works for me ❤️

Living with intention. Being present.

CBD - 20 mg per day, before bed and as needed. I use Sunsoil brand.

Ashwagandha - 500 mg per day

Water with intention. Not guzzled or chugged.

Intentional physical movement daily, particularly in the morning. I do Tai Chi.

Intentional sunshine/nature daily. Not work or chores etc. At least 15 to 20 minutes walking, sitting, whatever. Doing nothing else but being.

Gratitude. Being thankful for every little thing.

And Breathe 💚

Some days I forget and the weight of the world crushes me. I have to remind myself of all of the above. But the more often I do it, the easier it is to find it again and the less often I stray from it.

Much love, strength & healing for us all 💚💚

I will not be at the Ava Farmers Market this spring. I'm having to have surgery on my jaw in May and recovery will take weeks. I hope to be back in July or there about. 💚

I hope this is the best farmers market season ever!! I'll miss being there so be sure and enjoy for me. 😍
