Solid advice. Keep your eye on the future victory, not the temporary doom.

I have been boycotting Walmart (for forever), amazon (since 2022) and target (since 2024). I've learned that I don't need megacorps to survive, and life is so much richer when you shop small(er). Shopping at local small businesses builds and strengthens relationship, community & genuinely feels good

Now, more than ever, we need to lean in toward the light.

Look to the plants…build community, walk with compassion and love, stand strong like an Oak.

I feel safe, I feel supported, I feel nurtured. Today I am just really grateful that the plants are here with me.

I can't do that today. But I can bring the plants with me. I've got tulsi tea in my water, and elderberry syrup in my bag. I sprayed my face with calendula hydrosol and my body with rose.

Today I really just want to be with the plants. I just want to study. I just want to make teas and tinctures and syrups and oxymels.

As someone with a damp, cold, stagnant constitution, I found myself losing interest in my usual go-to comfort drink (earl grey latte). A golden latte is filled with warming, stimulating and anti-inflamatory herbs - basically sunshine in a cup. And the taste is reminiscent of chai. Just magic ✨

Whimsical retro design with flowers, a butterfly and the sun with the text "Refuse Dystopia. Plant the seeds of change. Solarpunk can happen now."

My daily reminder to keep imagining the world I want to live in. The world I want for my community - now, and far into the future. We must keep imagining it & keep sharing our visions of a brighter future with each other - so that we can make it a reality. #plantingtheseedsofchange #solarpunk

Something I read today:
β€œLoving Corrections” by adrienne maree brown. #booksky @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social
β€œThe good news is that we don’t need to be experts on every region to move with and towards humanity, connection, and solidarity.”

A gentle, yet potent reminder for all of us. I have been revisiting this passage over and over this past week, finding much needed medicine and wisdom for my heart and soul.

"Can you allow internal contractions and constrictions caused by pressure and pain to do their transformative work on you?

Everytime I feel myself feeling helpless or despair, I remind myself to keep studying the plants. Herbalism IS resistance, and the plants will always help lead us through the darkness.
