A new plant, a cup of tea, and a new week ahead 🌿
|
Hey Reader, Happy Sunday to you. I hope you are easing into the day with something warm in your hand and a little quiet before the week picks up speed. I am starting this new week with a simple intention. My cousin recently brought home an oregano plant, and I have decided I want to grow my own from it, right here in my backyard container garden. I plan to take a cutting from her plant and see what it takes to root it, grow it, and eventually brew it into tea. I do not have all the answers yet. I am learning this one step at a time, the same way I approached every herb currently growing in my containers. I put together the full story on my blog, including:
I would love for you to read it and follow along as I take my first cutting. Click here to read the full story. Wishing you a restful Sunday and a week ahead that grows exactly as you need it to. Blessed love always, 💚 Gillian (Queen Gee) |

The quick takeaway: Having a solid plan does not mean knowing every single step ahead. Real confidence is not about rigid certainty; it is about holding a steady compass, trusting...
Hello Reader, How have you been? I hope your week was all that you desired and more. This week reminded me that some of the most meaningful growth happens quietly. There wasn't a big milestone or dramatic breakthrough. Instead, there were small moments that made me pause and smile. I have been away from home for a little over a week. As such, I miss watching my herbs grow, harvesting fresh green mint for another cup of tea, and taking time to be present. I will get back to it soon, though,...
Hi Reader, I hope your week went well and that you are having a wonderful weekend! 💚 Today I found myself reflecting on the very first blog post I published on my wellness journey, and it reminded me why I started this path in the first place. My wellness journey didn’t begin with perfection or trends. It began with loss, reflection, and a decision to take my health more seriously after losing my mother in 2017 and facing my own respiratory health scare the following year. That season pushed...
