Hello everyone,
Spring is almost here which is an especially magical time in the Hudson Valley where I live. The transformation that happens is quite extraordinary! The air is filled with the scent of blossoms, followed by the greening of the landscape.
Nature waking up from its winter slumber is a sight to behold.
Spring also means that it’s almost time to start planting. I’ll be busy in a few weeks planting my seeds, many in Homemade Pots, and using many of the seeds that I saved from last year’s best vegetables and flowers.
Some of those organic seeds are available for sale in My Store.
Do you know about a business in New York City that Saves Cut Flowers from being wasted? Or the clothing company that is helping in reducing the huge amount of Clothing Waste by offering a helpful solution?
Thank you GOOP for mentioning my work!
I recently gave a workshop at Churchtown Dairy in the Hudson Valley about the benefits of journaling, inspired by a chapter in my book LOLA.
I was thrilled by the response and thank you all for coming.

We could use the same plan here and in every city, town and community on the planet.
In New York State something really wonderful is happening for fish in the Hudson River and it’s 85 years overdue.
Also in upstate New York, the Oldest Fossilized Trees have been discovered. It’s a fascinating story.
