When I got deep into farming and gardening it immediately became the release I was looking for, a release from stress, anger, and fear. It became the greatest therapy I have ever experienced and when you invest your energy into something so deeply rooted in your history, it transcends anything in the physical and becomes spiritual.

After a few months of connecting with the earth I started to notice that, whenever I walked into the space the environment would acknowledge my presence, it is an experience you must have for yourself. All of a sudden, the wind would dance all around me, the birds would start singing their songs, the squirrels would come out to play, and the inquisitive cats would find a space to watch from a distance. It is spiritually satisfying and when I shared my experiences with a friend of mine she explained how you can connect, not only to the land and nature, but also with your ancestors who have never left your side. Well today I feel I got a visit from someone whom I love that has made it to the spiritual realm but is keeping a watchful eye over my life.

I got a visit from this beautiful bird who seemed to enjoy spending time with me as I worked in the garden, so I acknowledged their presence and just sat and talked with them as I tended to the gardens and wherever I moved they stayed close behind, it was a heartwarming experience. Have you ever had an experience like this whether you’re home on the porch, tending to your garden, out in a familiar place or even traveling abroad have you ever had something remind you of someone you love?
