This is such a beautiful, tender, multi-layered post, and I so relate to all of it. Wishing Willowcrow the perfect landing spot and sending heartfelt thanks for all you have done to honor your land in Michigan. Having grown up in Penn’s Woods myself, I have also felt the pain of that heavily fracked land. Thank you for following your call to spread your healing touch to the hurting places.
A scene from the land…
I’m in the midst of a major life transition. After six years of living in South-East Michigan (with five of those here on my homestead), I have made a big life decision to take a new job at a new university and return to my beloved mountains and forests in rural Western Pennsylvania.

It takes efforts in both areas, and Willowcrow is right, the spiritual healing can take much longer. People who look at our yard think it’s mostly already healed, but I can tell that on the spiritual level, it will continue to take more time and love.

My pleasure! As you know, this topic is so up for me right now on so many levels, but also it is a common topic with clients either feeling called to leave their homestead or hoping to slip into one that’s all ready for them. Lots of movement! 🙂
