My best gaming buddy and desk partner.
She became really sick in October with congestive heart failure, and finally passed away peacefully with loved ones.

I had her with me for half of my life 💖 Nikki was never far from me. Either laying on my desk looking at the window (the monitor), or sharing my foot warmer with me. She also loved to be under the blankets taking a nap with me, or racing me to the bathroom before I shut the door 😂

I still miss her presence every day.

Spring 🌷

A lovely way to spend the afternoon. 🖤 I had never gone to the tulip festival before, even though I'm a Utah local.
I was convinced until recently (2 weeks ago) that I hated tulips! I always thought they bloomed too quickly, spread like weeds, and died off too quickly as well...
I've started to appreciate them more and more in the color variations. Some are absolutely stunning 😍 And I had no idea they could have various petal shapes!

I'm grateful for my hype man, getting some fun shots. 😘
And would definitely recommend if you haven't been.

Spend time in nature- hug a baby redwood. 🖤

Even in the dead of summer there are small ways to ground and connect with nature. A trip to your local gardens or other designated green space is a great way; even if you're stuck in the city.
The trek can be difficult in the heat, so be sure to hydrate and take breaks in the shade if needed.
This photo was on one of the hottest days, it was quite the journey to reach our goal: the baby redwoods.

🌱plant friends for protection

Using plant allies is important if you follow a more green path and work closely with the earth. But it is equally important respect other traditions and be mindful of closed practices.

Sage is vastly overharvested due to its popularity and trendy nature in the spiritual community. Indigenous people's may find it difficult to come by in their own practice because of this. And using terms like "smudging" when you mean smoke clearing, also devalues the intricacies of indigenous peoples ritual practice.

There are many, many alternatives. But these examples of powerful and protective plants work very well when banishing negativity. And may offer added benefits like anti anxiety and lucid dreaming.

These herbal teas can help boost your immune system 🌱

These ones in particular can be easily found in the tea section of common grocery stores. And have incredible immune boosting benefits, with tons of antioxidants to get you feeling better quicker!
The best time to boost the immune system is as a preventative measure. But these can help you when you're feeling ill as well.

🌙 The moon gives me strength 🌙

When working with the phases of the moon I always feel more grounded and connected to nature. The different phases help to guide the cycle of the world around us, and when we are more in sync we can be more connected to that.
This is the beginning. The starting line for the things you desire.
Go forth and seize the night! 🖤🌒

These moon phases have different energy 🌑🌒

Before the moon becomes a crescent moon, the very first sliver of light is called a new moon. But the dark moon, its predecessor, is complete darkness. Between the last sliver of light and the first visible sliver of light we can see.

These terms "new moon" and "dark moon" seem to be used interchangeably. But energetically they have a difference in how they are used in magical workings.

Sorry friends.
The video this week is going to be late, but it's still being posted as soon as possible!
I have had a mountain of technical issues with it 😭 but it's close!

Go often to his house

This will give you the easy way to make moon water and a more advanced way. It is definitely not necessary to do the more complicated way for moon water. But...
