Each time I move, I naturally attempt to reinvent myself. I move to a new place where no one knows what I do or who I am (if they haven’t googled me!), and I go buy all new clothes and come up with new ideas of what I want to do (and what I no longer want to do), and attempt to look somewhat normal in my new life.

It never works. I always revert right back to myself.

My son-in-law says I’m “quirky.” My daughter quipped back to him, “What do you mean by that?!” But I suppose it’s true. I am a bit quirky.

I do miss my aprons. I sold them to my friend for a song. I’ll need to find more vintage aprons. I already miss my pinafores and long skirts. I seem to have gotten here from the 1800’s and didn’t reset!

Turns out not a soul worries about it or even notices me. Everyone is quite concerned with themselves.

I added a page to my website that read simply, “For remedies, readings, books, etc, contact me directly.” Paypal immediately took away my privilege to accept credit cards (again- I had started a new site). I have been flagged as a drug dealer for every credit card company there is since 2017. It doesn’t bother me much anymore. I shall give up the website idea because I’d rather work one on one with folks anyway. I am a very good herbalist. I know and talk to plants. I talk to animals. I am a medical intuitive and highly sensitive person. I make incredible herbal remedies, and beautiful shawls, and paintings, and I write books. I have something for about anyone, and if they need it, they will be led to me. That is the way the universe works. Otherwise, I’ll be in the forest talking to deer.

I find myself in a new ecosystem. My beloved forests come to life teeming with medicinal plants and foods to forage and wildlife. I am in my element. A forest witch through and through. I am inspired by the trees and waters here. I have been painting and weaving and playing music every day and still have no shortage of inspiration. I am reverting (perhaps to stay) to my Self. The one that some people love, some people are put off by, and most don’t even notice. And that is quite alright. For we are perfectly made and filled with gifts and life and to live it freely as your true self is the very best way to live. Because YOU were made perfectly perfect for your purpose!

Now, where to find more pinafores.
