Spring in Maine

So, my first spring in Maine. It’s pretty and slightly buggy. I’m told I need to eat garlic as it keeps bugs away (maybe keeps everything away!) I’m also told that if you place dragonfly nymphs and stuff called lava or something in trees, they help keep mosquitos at bay too. I’m also told that vodka is good for that – but I don’t drink so I’ll have to spray it around and see if that does any good. Of course we are still in the upstairs of the barn we’re renting and are ready to go, we’re just not sure where we’re going yet! We have an offer in on an 8 acre property that’s zoned so we can create an amazing healing cafe/ British gift shop and more, but we’re playing the waiting game. For an impatient person – it’s nail biting and tough. I want to laugh, cry and lay on the property refusing to move until we can unpack our over 5 years of storage goods and consider myself finally home!!! It’s been a long journey and I’m a little tired.
I’m still teaching at the school, and despite certain insecurities playing out with people, it’s been great. I love teaching and sharing all the knowledge I’ve accumulated over the years in practice and in alternative healing studies, but the hours I”m keeping are a bit arduous, so some days, like today, I sort of crash and have to simply stop and unplug. I like those days, even though I may let people down a bit.
I love teaching cookery once a month. It’s one of my greatest joys. It’s fun. We laugh, we cook, we talk, we share, I teach some, I learn loads, it’s like sitting in a living room having new friends over and being the center of attention. I was shy as a little girl, so this is probably good for her to stand in the center and speak up, instead of in a corner shutting up!
We should know about our home by the next time I blog, so all those reading this – please keep your fingers and toes crossed for us. I feel it’ll work out and I really hope so. We need a home base to serve our world from This would work well!!!
love to you all, blessings and hang in there – the future is far greater than we can possibly imagine, and much better than all the yesterdays we have so far created.
