beginnings!

is there anything scarier or more exhilarating than new beginnings? okay, probably. but right now, i can't think of any. all i can think about is this wild idea i had to start selling my tinctures. and, from that one idea seed, a hundred other wild ideas are growing. how about a website? i should start a blog! LLC? 5013c? podcast? try to grow all of my own herbs in a greenhouse in my back yard?! definitely get a second instagram account, at the very least. i need cuter labels. who will design my logo?! i know too many amazing artists (what an excellent problem to have). 

i have been making various herbal preparations - tinctures, salves, teas, electuaries, oxymels, and more (sometimes without even realizing what they were) - for years. we can thank my first job, at a health food store in a small hudson valley town, for that. i was lucky, at 16, to be exposed to new kinds of medicine and healing, and to be open enough to let it all in. 18 years later (don't do the math) i have a growing book of reiki clients and 10 different tinctures extracting in a cabinet downstairs. i feel grateful for this light, this thread, which has followed me throughout my life. i'm excited for possibilities. and for sharing. and learning. and community.

​let's do this.
