I’m still learning to ride the huge waves of lif

I’m still learning to ride the huge waves of life. I’m sensitive to the suffering of those I love & of our whole earth family. I can hold a lot... & sometimes I remember to give it to the earth. I’m sad & deeply grateful & exhausted & hopeful. Doing the work... as we all are. I planted the seed for this flower in my kitchen months ago, a prayer. Something must be in balance, a miracle happened, a flower bloomed. The message always comes from nature. Life is a powerful force & life is made up of mysterious miracles. Keep rooting down & turn my face to the moon & the sun & the stars. Drink deeply of the water & let myself be caressed by the wind. Shine, simply be me & let my light shine. Be juicy & full of nectar. Trust the journey & grow alongside my plant friends. Be nourished by the stardust minerals in the dark fertile soil. Honor my cycles. Receive wisdom from the mycelial realm. Hum with the honey bees & vibrate joy. Nature is healing me & I am nature.

Our sweet cat Tony crossed over on August 1, with

Our sweet cat Tony crossed over on August 1, with the help of a kind vet, in our backyard, surrounded by love & complete devotion. Our tears flowed for the loss of such a dear friend, only 8 years old, who hid any signs of discomfort until suddenly he was in crisis & nothing could be done to save him. We tried everything. It was his time. He is at rest in the Earth with Ghost Pipe mushrooms growing nearby & his spirit running free. After the burial we swam in the river to release & cleanse & heal. It’s hard to be home without him here. Our other kitty misses him too. Today my neighbor/client said Tony came through so strongly at the end of our session - he was right up in her face. As I was massaging her face she said it felt like Tony was massaging her with his paws!! He told her to tell me ‘thanks for the chicken’. I started to cry because I had cooked him fresh local chicken to try & get him to eat in his final days. Sweet boy. So wise. He was always trying to come into my healing studio during sessions. I had to keep him upstairs otherwise he’d scratch at my glass-paned office door & peek under the curtain asking to join. After sessions my clients would come out into the living room & I’d let Tony in & he would just be all over them, purring & shedding tons of his creamsicle colored fur. Such a lover. I miss his nighttime snuggles & fierce presence in our home. Forever in our hearts. Thank you Shastina for bringing him into our lives. We love you Tony 💔🐾🐈
