“You’ve been on my mind the last few days as I’ve thinking about my intentions for the coming year, and giving thanks for everything that has nourished me up to this point. Even though the time I spent with you was brief, I am still profoundly affected by the herbal apprenticeship I did with you seven years ago. I am grateful for your teachings on listening to your body, listening to the seasons, the earth, in order to find that harmony. I struggle with this daily, but I am returning to my plant helpers for support. Thank you for being who you are, and sharing that with me. I continue to benefit from your wisdom.”
