Transformation from nursing to farming in the Catskills: a little about me

I thought I would tell you a little about me today. I'm not the writer that Skip is so my blog will not be as poetic as his. I am also told that my art can be a little strange at times. Skip says that he was ok with the alpaca poop keychains that I made but my shower spiders are even too gross for him. They are made from sheep fiber. The idea came to me when I was showering and noticed that all the hair that I lose when I wash my hair gets balled up and put on the soap dish to get thrown away later. They look like spiders, big ugly spiders. So I made one out of sheep fiber. No one else likes it but I do and it's hanging in our downstairs bathroom. No one likes to admit it but I know all of you lose some hair in the shower, you just don't see it as art and I do. So I decided that I will show you all my work, even if it's a bit too weird for the average person. The other thing about me is that I am a dowser. A lot of people would think that a bit strange as well. For some reason spirits seem to hang around our house. Some nice and some not so nice. I check with my pendulum on a daily basis and if there are demons and ghosts attached to me or the house I call my friend and acupuncturist Jordan Su and she sends them off to the light. It doesn't always work when I ask them to leave. This all may
seem a little strange but I have known about my spirit guide since I was a kid. It wasn't until recently that I actually saw him during one of my acupuncture sessions. He's American Indian. For as long as I can remember I always felt that I was on this earth to be a light worker. There are people that enter my life that I feel I have a karma with. Some times I feel the urge to just give someone a piece of my art. I do that just because I feel that they need to have it. I have given away lots of my art. 99% of the time the recipient is very happy to have it and it makes them feel good. Making someone feel good is the reason I give it to them. I am working on a couple of things right now that I'm going to give away. Some one that needs cheering up. I am a horrible business person and don't do well making money since I give away way more of my art than I sell. It was much easier to make a living as a nurse. I could give away my gift of healing and still get paid by my boss. Sometimes I get gifts from other light workers. One picture was given to me by a special friend named Ellie Steffen. We met about 6 years ago, she is an outstanding artist that lives in Woodstock.. She has a painting of mine as well. I continue to work towards becoming a reiki master and I do that with two people. Jordan is one and Cindy Brody is the other. Cindy is an animal communicator that came to me from my dear friend Isabelle. I have taken some other courses with Cindy that helps with all the animals that are in my care. So that is a little piece of me. Below are some pictures. Every night I burn white sage to keep the bad spirits out. I started some of my seeds early but I expect those will grow inside (green beans and peas
