Some Thoughts and Some Decisions

Dreamcatcher web, Hemp and Bamboo Cord, feathers ive collected as I travel 

I'm going against my better judgement right now and putting on water to make some more coffee. Maybe ill just make tea instead once it boils. But these cold indoor days got me in a constant state of warm beverage drinking. Im either incredibly productive or incredibly unproductive everyday.

SO, it is pretty much set that i am leaving NY in the second week of February! Unfortunately my funds are really low and i am stressing about this. But at the least i know i can go out West and not have to spend money, and maybe since i have time i could even make some.  I met Emma and I think her and i are meant (by the powers of the universe) to take this trip together.  But now I know i have less than a month to get ready for this and that's really no time at all!

i applied to a permaculture internship starting in May in New Mexico. This is it- 
 it is a bit of money, but given that its 6 months long and that includes food and lodging, it works out to be about 333$ a month, which is affordable (for a normal working person, ha!)

Raspberry Leaf extract, wildcrafted and made in Oregon

Pouch/Wallet. Can be used for Herbal Smoking Blend or Rolling Tobacco, Or  everyday wallet
Upcycled materials, machine sewn and Hand Finished.  This was a custom order.

SO anyone that is in any position, it would help me greatly if you bought something from my ETSY SHOP! there is a link to it at the top of the page too!


these pictures are of some of the items you will find for sale at my shop.








I noticed that a lot of the people i went to High School with are living in NYC or Brooklyn and i wonder how so many people can afford to live there and are even attracted to the urban lifestyle. Part of me gets it, everything is accessible, there is a lot of art and music and you don't need a car. There is just something about living in cities that seems so disconnected even though everyone is so close to each other.  At the same time I think it really is possible to make sustainable choices in an Urban lifestyle.  And i never thought i was going to own a car, and now i got one (even though its temp OOO out of order) cause it was the most practical mode of transport in Oregon. You can always make your own sprouts and ferments.  I just need to live somewhere that i can grow my own food, and be able to turn around in a circle and be surrounded by nature all around.

I decided on the peppermint tea and it was probably the best decision for all of us.

Any and All Leads on the next few months on the west coast are greatly appreciated!
love to old friends, new friends, and friends i have yet to meet!
