Stay-cation!

This is who greeted me this morning, outside the window next to my bed! Isn't she lovely?

I thought I had a trip planned for the Memorial Day weekend, and it turns out I don't, so I am going to enjoy a working stay-cation. I have about 5 days off, and those days are now devoted to pretending Paula's Herbals is my livelihood. If being an herbalist will ever support me at all, I need to know that I can do the work it requires. I need to develop products, develop workshops and talks, and find places to ply my knowledge, and write write write.

Consider this an unofficial 'launch' of the Paula's Herbals business. I've been dabbling, and ramping up, but now it's time to make plans and goals and timelines and really get moving.

Today, I mediated and tidied up my workshop. I spent a couple wonderful hours with my boyfriend having lunch, before he goes off to shoot a film 24/7 for the next week. Now I am surrounded by notebooks, folders, and all sorts of things I've been neglecting. I have a list, I have ideas, and I have motivation. I just took a bath with Lemon Verbena sugar, and that was the right choice- it gave me so much good energy! I have a candle lit, it's a cold and windy day which is perfect for concentrating, and I have tea at my side.

I'll check back in tomorrow!
