01/02/25 Blog Post One: How In the hell did I get here…

How in the hell did I get here? Have you ever asked yourself that question? I ask it about 50 times a day, usually adding extra colorful language around the “hell” part. I love where I am at…it was the journey that brought me here that I could have done without. You see, I should be writing this blog and launching this business from my own beautiful lavender farm with the man that I thought was my soulmate. That story is for another time. Instead, I am launching this business from my beautiful home (partially courtesy of the “soulmate” and living in a state that honors common law marriage and therefore common law divorce settlements) surrounded by numerous flower beds (yes, there is lavender) and my “roommates” (4 chickens, 3 dogs and 2 cats) 5 of which are also courtesy of that “soulmate” person. We have a good life in a small town, where in the 3 years that I have been here I have managed to rebuild my life, rebuild myself and relearn to enjoy life.

Join me on my continuing journey and check out my weekly blogs where you find anything from stories about the business, my life, recipes, money saving ideas, random thoughts and anything else that I decide to write about!

They say that the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. My first step was onto a little lavender farm tucked in the hills of Iowa. That farm was truly my first love. If you know anything about first loves, they break your heart in the worst way. More on that later…

Until then, welcome to my site and I hope that you enjoy my products, recommend friends, stop and say “hello” at an event, attend a class in person or virtually and learn to love living a more natural life. Take your first step into the world of more natural and sustainable living with me…
