Gratitude moment. I received unexpected dividends from and investment today. This quart jar of Nettle Infusion pictured here just set to steep is the image that represents this abundance.
Back in February, I had the opportunity to begin a friendship with . You can read about that visit here.
I was meeting a Smiling Human Being!...
...who within 3 sentences was sharing his Dreadlocks. Off came the signature hat! Laughs were shared, we were off to a great start.
The topic of Stinging Nettle was discussed. He had just planted some and shared with excitement. I had not had an opportunity to plant any on our homestead yet. The offer to send me some was made, and I accepted.
Since his plants were just babies, I sent him home with a pound of dried Stinging Nettle that I had purchased. To provide him with the material to enjoy her benefits now.
I am honestly admitting I have been neglecting to include this plant friend of mine in my own life for too long now.
Jumping to yesterday...
Fresh Stinging Nettle plants for the begginings of my own patch. I desperately needed this new beggining... the timing was perfect.
This was a good trade, the investment in each others dreams is a beautiful consequence of a good friendship.
I love his creativity in using a photo as a note card. Penning his personal positive message and blessing upon the reverse side. He thoughtfully included a deck of permaculture playing cards as treat. The whole thing was lovely.
The Unexpected Dividend...
This series of events played out in such a way that today I took the step, in a coming home style ritual to bring my friend Stinging Nettle back into my daily life. I am currently making my first nettle infusion in many years.
With this quart jar of amber goodness I have taken the first step in a journey forward... Beginning again. With two friends beside me, Stinging Nettle and .
This is my unexpected dividend. This is one of those moments that makes me know I am truly on the right path.
Thank you for your contribution, delivered with divine timing. Dreadful Hugs sent to you and yours.
I am off to a great start with a strong and smiling stride. May my steps dance me through the wilds of a beautiful adventure.
