there is lily of the valley and vinca growing in my garden and in the wildlands are yellow
bells and buttercups as you well know this is my favorite time of year I could spend
the entire day dancing over Flower Meadows and watching as my tulips peep through the
dirt the work must be done so today I allow myself only a short couple walks to explore
this new world so long hidden by winter keeping an eye out for Pixies of course
[Music]
[Music] yellow bells and poppy seeds hear the whisper of the breeze and Venture curious
roots they come in wake of frost a burst of Springtime soon lost to memory and a hopeful
heart waiting once more for the gentle start
good
[Music]
I came across a lovely line in a book recently it asked the question who would you be without
fear in your heart if I lived without my worries over things I can't control without fear of
failure Without Fear of Myself how would I live and who would I be like I like to think
I'm on my journey to be that person I notice for me the key to finding that courage was
to accept that in the scheme of things there's a lot I cannot control in my life for example
I can try to take care of myself eat well and exercise and while these are great things
to do for me I will still not always feel my best I will get sick perhaps I might not
even enjoy the privilege of growing old [Music] I really don't know what will happen and that's
rather scary sometimes but what I find much more frightening is living a life trying to
control things that I cannot for me it felt like slowly releasing years of behaviors that
I relied on to give me a grander sense of control than I really had over my life [Music]
A very wise gentleman once told me to find yourself you must pause enter the Inner Room
of your spirit you must lock the door because the experience may not always be pleasant
and you may be tempted to leave but after you slowly work through what needs to be dealt
with you will be left with the seed of something special that seed is you the truth and that
is where you find your strength [Music]
[Music]
Mavi!

I hope I brought a moment of peace or reflection to you today and I'm sending you all my love
on another note I recently found some old prints that I once sold as a limited edition
release on my Etsy shop there were a few that I misprinted and unfortunately there was this
pale line left on the back of the prince I ended up not selling them however I thought
it would be a waste to just throw them away so I thought I would include them in a flower
listing I have on my shop in an attempt to hopefully find homes for them to people who
don't mind the slight imperfection I don't have many available but I wanted to let you
know in case you were interested and I appreciate the support of my work as an artist and means
the world thank you so much
sir that's very rude that is still very rude I have been drinking this tea every day lately
it is lavender chamomile oatmeal and hops it is an interesting combination but it is
so calming and of course the best part of tea is holding it in your hands and it's so
warm spring is here I couldn't be happier this morning I went to the cottonwoods next
to the river and I took a lot of the little buds that were just growing on the ends of
the branches and if you take those buds and you harvest them and you soak them in oil
you after eight months or so can get to Cottonwood oil and you can use that oil to make a healing
Salve and any other you know variety of things I of course only like taking very small amounts
in places where the trees are very abundant and so I just took about two dozen or so Buds
and I'm soaking them in oil and I'm excited to share the recipe in the future I also filmed
this video over the course of many different days and the weather was slightly different
in each one of them so I was in a slightly different outfit and it was funny because
on the last day I'd climbed on a fallen tree and while getting off it my dress got caught
on one of the edges of the branches and I almost took a really big tumble so I'm really
glad that I do not have any bruises or wounds from that little hiccup so you can see traipsing
around the forest can sometimes be a little bit dangerous and eventful so thank you again
I'm sending you so much love and I will see you very soon goodbye
