There comes a time in every cycle of awakening when the old titles crumble under the weight of their own misuse.  “Guru,” once a beacon of light, has become a shadow-cast word, dragged through scandal, ego, and patriarchal power plays.  So we rise, not in rebellion, but in remembrance. Introducing: The Gura. “The Gura doesContinue reading “Gura Rises: Reclaiming the Sacred Feminine from the Ashes of the Guru Age”

Let me tell you something about messes: they don’t scare me. You see, there’s a special kind of magic that happens when you stop chasing perfection and start building a life you actually want.  Not a Pinterest-perfect porch swing fantasy, but a home that smells like soup on the stove, soil under your nails, andContinue reading “Bless This Mess (I Built It My Damn Self!)”

They say the garden teaches, but sometimes it throws a tantrum first.  This season, we let parts of our garden go a little… feral.  And by “a little,” I mean American nightshade showed up with pigweed as its wingman and dayflowers spread like gossip in a small town. You know what?  I learned more fromContinue reading “What I Learned from Letting My Garden Go Wild”

Some garden visitors arrive with muddy feet and big appetites (lookin’ at you, chickens).  Others show up in a blur of color, sipping nectar like royalty and reminding you that the garden isn’t just yours, it’s part of a much bigger dance. Enter: the hummingbird. These pint-sized pollinators are nature’s glitter.  They flit, they flash,Continue reading “Tiny Wings, Big Magic: Welcoming Hummingbirds to Your Garden”

Every flock has a funny one, and in our little chicken sitcom, Laverne is the star of the show. She struts with purpose, squawks with sass, and somehow always manages to photobomb everyone else’s glamour shots.  If there’s a suspicious rustling in the feed bag or a daring hop onto the roosting bar like it’sContinue reading “Meet The Flock: Say Hello to Laverne, The Coop’s Classy Comedian”

When we picked her up from Bomgaars, little did we know we were bringing home a feathered legend. Sacagawea is no ordinary chick.  While the others peeped and stumbled around like popcorn in a skillet, she stood tall, watching, learning, leading.  You can tell she’s got places to go and birds to guide.  She’s theContinue reading “Meet The Flock: Say Hello to Sacagawea, The Trailblazer of the Brood”

Today, we proudly present the first feature in our “Meet the Flock” series, and we’re kicking things off with the little queen herself: Avril! Avril isn’t just a chick.  She’s a vibe.  A feathered revolution.  A living embodiment of fluffy rebellion. From the moment we brought her home, Avril made it crystal clear: she’s notContinue reading “Meet the Flock: Say Hello to Avril, the Chick With a Mohawk and a Mission”

This morning, we said goodbye to Louise. Not “just a chicken.”  Not just a silly bird.  Louise was a protector, a feathery little bodyguard who watched our yard like she paid the property taxes.  The kind of girl who gave side-eye to hawks and humans alike.  You felt safer knowing she was on patrol. AndContinue reading “Goodbye Louise, Hello New Life: Grieving in the Aisles of Bomgaars 🐣”

Life on the homestead is never boring when you share it with a bunch of feathered philosophers.  My chickens may not speak English (though they definitely yell like they do), but this week, they delivered some serious wisdom wrapped in beaks and fluff.  Here’s what I learned from the girls, especially Louise. — 1. “IfContinue reading “5 Things the Chickens Taught Me This Week… and not one of them was about eggs.”

Before the white coats. Before the insurance codes. Before you had to fill out five forms just to be told to take Tylenol and “come back if it gets worse”… There was Grandma. She didn’t have a certificate on the wall, but she had a pantry full of jars, a strong sense of smell, andContinue reading “Grandma Didn’t Need a Degree to Heal You: Why Folk Medicine Still Works (And Always Did)”
