Creating & Healing

Soil under your fingernails. Paint on your palms. Sawdust in your hair.

When we make something with our hands, we step back into the physical world. Getting my hands dirty is the best medicine I know for stress and grief. I know that we could all use a little less time in the digital world which feels counterintuitive to posting on this blog but I just want to share and stay connected through Kirsten’s memory.

With lots of help from my better half, we have been working on our own personal cottage garden - my idea behind this project - besides saving water every month was to create a space of peace and zen.

We planted a clementine mandarin tree in honor of Kirsten, looking forward to the day it bears fruit.

That is all for now.
