This recipe sounds so awesome to me. Living in an urban beach enviornment I don’t get the chance to experience many different types of trees and woods. I love the smell of the forest and the magic it hides. I wish I had access to bits of these woods to make some of this.

Hola.

I am many, many things. I am abstract and concrete. I am a mother, kitchen witch, aspiring mermaid, punk rock martha stewart, earth hippie, medical practitioner, book nerd. All these things are me, yet don't even start to describe all of who I am.

Some basics are that I am 31 years old and growing into the woman I am meant to be. I am a compassionate healer and work in a hospital. I am a mother to a middle schooler. I am a girlfriend to a big geek. I hated my twenties. I always felt awkward. I feel like my 30's are going to be where I shine.

I love witchcraft and living a magical life. I strive to live every day in the eyes of a goddess. I want to live with my eyes wide open and experience everything.

I'm ready to begin.
