If You Do Not Change Direction...

Hot Summer Harvest                    Portland OR 2015

If you do not change direction you may end up where you are heading.

                       -Lao Tzu

How do you embrace change?  I would love to hear from you in the comments below.  We can join as community in celebration of letting go and inviting in the new, delirious, exciting, and challenging moments that cross our paths daily as we define ourselves.

Blessings.

Cheers to My New Adventure

*p*O*p  open the bubbly --  May 20, 2015

NEW! logo, NEW! labels and best of all -- I've made it to our NEW! location in Scappoose, OR.  As promised Aromatic Traditions is open for business.

(Truth be told, I never did close, orders and customer visits happened while traveling cross country.)
What can I say, I love working with you all and helping you make your dreams come true!

Cheers to our new adventures!  *p*O*p

Awe on the Water

My heart feels like crying today.  Aromatic Traditions opens tomorrow as promised from our new floating oasis in Scappoose OR.  So grateful for all of the help along the way. More pictures and stories to come of my amazing journey. Just wanted to say "Hi" to everyone and let you know that I miss you every day and hold your goodness in my heart.  From my heart to yours...

Blending - Offering as Transition

Offerings            Aromatic Traditions  Spring 2015

In my Tradition there is an understanding that everything is energy - all has a frequency.

Before the snow fell I placed sand dollars gathered along the Oregon Coast as an offering to my East Coast garden to bridge the energies between both coasts.  It is a deep honoring to the connection between what has come to pass and all of the possibilities to come. Many blessings to all who are reading this - may you continue to build your bridges.
This is my final blog post on the East Coast.  Open roads to all.

"I Am Not Alone - All Eyes Are On Me"

PA Grand Canyon - Wellsboro, PA 2015

Soul-oh! hike to the source of my creativity.

Early Spring thaw along Pine Creek.

A long trek in mud and ice reveals that "I am not alone - 

AND

"all eyes are on me".

The deeper I go into myself and nature, the more connected I feel to ALL.

Grateful.

(and Happy!)

When the Snow Melts the Sh*t Shows

"Astro" checks it out. March 2015

            "When the snow melts the shit shows".

I remember the moment I first heard this quote from my college photography professor.

He was speaking to authenticity and transparency.

I like it. It stuck and has stayed with me through every creative endeavor since.

Happy Spring 2015!

Presence & Preparation

Practicing stillness before the whirlwind of change.
