Maybe you’ve read one of my previous blogs about trauma and how there is a path to grace through that trauma. I shared that up until my long time boyfriend's death in late 2020, I really hadn't had much of anything that I would call traumatic happen to me. Well I found out through connections made through my journey experiences that my body had been through some significant trauma that I did not realize until 7 years after it happened.

I want to talk about plant medicine. Using plants as medicine is as old as our civilization. The earth is a wise, conscious force of growth and evolution. She has a uniquely designed all encompassing system of survival for those who inhabit her surface. When we learn to live in harmony, in honor and respect with the earth our planet will change. The chocolate shaman, Keith Wilson, says that cacao is the food for the shift.

I am no stranger to death. Based on the number of death experiences I’ve had in my life, I know this is an area I chose to learn about this lifetime. I’m also a double Scorpio which is the astrological sign most associated with death which further confirms my choice to be a student of death.

Death is an uncomfortable topic for most of us and often a painful experience we struggle to make sense of and accept. When I decided I wanted to launch my blog platform talking about death, I had no idea just how poignant that was going to be or how much death I was going to face.
