I made this print 'n' fold #zine as much for myself as for you. I’m 2 mths away from a big move and needing to reconnect with the tools I’ve gathered over the years to stay grounded during the great uprooting that comes with any move...

Growing a garden requires patience. If you get it wrong, you sometimes have to wait a whole year to try again. I haven't been overwhelmed with abundance yet, but I can feel my ease in the garden growing. #gardensky #nature #gardening

Dear lovely person awaiting a full moon #zine today, alas the chaos of life has set me back. To say sorry, I'd like to share THIS... I took a late evening bike ride yesterday. On a nearby plateau I came across a herd of 600 sheep. I stayed with them, listening to their bells until the moon rose.

Been writing for Substack! As the weeks went by and the little me in my stories got older, I noticed her changing. Unfortunately that tracks with the body of research that says that confidence in girls plummets around the age of 12. So I made a zine to summon her back: www.etsy.com/listing/4304...

Issue N˚11 of my #zine asks a gentle question: Where’s the harm in leaning into the lyrical? What if we allowed ourselves to see the animism in science? After all, wouldn’t you agree that we need a renewed sense of reverence for #Nature more than ever, right now? GET IT: www.etsy.com/listing/1887...
