Photos of the Week!

-

So as some of you may know, aside from crafting body products, I'm also an environmental educator. I help people learn about gardening and sustainable practices for their homes and schools. 

I love this aspect of my life, getting dirty and "being one with nature" fills me with a calming sense of purpose. The process of finding out who I am was touch as I was conflicted with what others thought I should be and how I felt about my strengths, passion and what I wanted to do with my time on the planet. I've gone through so many changes in career which is a needed thing for some. I'm helping a family member go through this exploratory phase, hoping she can let go of some of the fear and hesitation and go through this journey with an open mind and heart to her personal destination.

Here are a few photos of where my week goes. Enjoy!


Potential Garden site for a school in the Bronx.


A moldy Tulip tree leaf. I'm trying to find out what causes this....Do you know?

Some sweet potatoes harvested from our garden. Yum!

One of the most beautiful sights Ive seen at the garden,
a group of nuns in their Holy Whites.



A beautiful plant Im trying to find the name of. 


I made signs for this community event, supporting the Green Workers Cooperative in The Bronx!



Some lovely foliage at my day job at the
 New York Botanical Garden.



Setting up for the last Batali Family Dinner at NYBG.

Ever since Ive decided to focus on what I love to do, my days have been filled with great happiness.  I'm able to give and receive such joy!

Spring seems to have come and gone already, highlighting the fact that time moves quickly. As I washed dishes the other night, I fell into a meditative state, which often happens when doing easy housework like that. I realized that two years had passed, almost to the date of the beginning of my treatment for breast cancer. The calm, content feeling I have now was in sharp contrast to the rollercoaster ride of emotions I'd gone through being "sick" and unemployed. I had ALL the feelings! To be expected, I guess. Cancer sucks. But the lessons though… I’ll be turning 45 next couple of weeks, and looking back over the last few years, the Challenges, the Accomplishments, I’ve realized a few things, they aren’t new, but things that we (I) easily forget it seems until we are forced to remember who we are. Do the things that you love to do. What were the things that sparked your imagination, and excitement and curiosity when you were younger? Hopefully, over the year...
