I had been leading healing ceremonies and doing energy healing so I wanted a “healing center.” ![]() We had been dreaming of a property that we could have mini festivals that could benefit things like ocean clean up. My poor husband came home from work and I said “I think I am going to buy a flower farm.” He eventually came around saying “This is the best stupid idea you have had.” I didn’t know what a tuber was but there I stood in front of 60,000 of them.

There have been these moments of extreme clarity in my life. I just did NOT see it coming, not even a little. When I look back on the pieces of the puzzle that I was holding on to, dreaming of and guided to, I can see that this was always the road for me. If you think about it has your gut instinct ever been wrong? Not for me, but there have been thousands of times I let my mind win the battle. Now my intuition is as sacred to me as my breath. ![]() I have always had a strong intuition but I haven’t always trusted it. Had I been the “me” I was 5 years ago, I may have missed the road.
