Are you on a Wise Women's Journey?

This might seem like a daunting question, but it is really very easy to answer! The answer is YES! Welcome to a Wise Women's Journey!

Sometimes the road you are following seems strange, unknown, and you are questioning whether it is the right one. But believe me when I say that it does lead you to where you need to be. It may be winding, twisting, scary, doubling back, and seemingly going in a circle but it leads you to those experiences in life that become clear many miles down the road. I like this metaphor for life...a journey, on a road or a path of sorts or sometimes even an unmarked trail.

Do you sometimes feel like your life is meandering, with side excursions into a deep dark forest? Oh another fun metaphor! life is like that, isn't it?  Through all the choices or roads we choose, or not conscience choices because of what seems like unseen forces of fate...it brings us all to a question asked how many times in each of our lives, "what in the world has this been all about?".

The journey of ALL WOMEN lead to experiences in life that roll up into a messy blanket or a perfectly made bed, or something in between...or worse yet, messy sheets thrown on the floor or under the bed to be ignored or misplaced until we pick them up or look for again...to be put back in place or found.
And what you do on your journey is your choice. Your experiences...a desire Line of intentions. Done your way. Following Your Path.

But this brings us back to another question; Do you have to do it alone? The answer is NO! Wise Women are everywhere who have a lifetime of experiences to share and nurture other women. And that is what we are striving to do with this "Wise Women's Journey" Blog. Our original journey started, and then suddenly veared off our chosen road to unknown (we haven't shared those scary, winding experiences yet) territories. We have journeyed back from that winding circle to this intentional "Desire Line" of where we are today.

Our journey began in 2011 and sadly was short lived and was in a hiatus...but 2017 is the year Wise Women's Journey is re-launched! We want to share with you a life filled with intentions and experiences that help facilitate; gratitude, friendship, understanding, joy, ideas, creativity, GOALS...and ___________, ___________, __________, which we will fill in along the way on our journey together.

My personal share today is in the photo of my cat Tinker sitting on the table with my new  "2017 Shining Year Goals Diary Planner" by Leonie Dawson. I joined her tribe of goal-getting goddesses!

One last share, which was part of our introduction when we officially opened Wise Women's Journey in 2012. It is powerfully written and it pretty much sums up what our journey together is all about!

"How might your life have been different if there had been a place for you?
A place for you to go...a place of women, to help you learn the ways of women...
a place where you were nurtured from an ancient flow sustaining and steadying you as you sought to become yourself. A place of women to help you find and trust the ancient flow already there within yourself...
waiting to be released...A place of Women...How might your life be different?"
-Judith Duerk, Circle of Stones

Black Walnuts and what to do with them!

Image
While picking apples at the Holmes we discovered Walnuts! I found quite a few resources on processing these gems! This resource and link from Arlene Wright-Correll explains a number of uses and how to process them. What I was looking for was how to make Walnut Ink. Here is another resource from an Artist on how he made the ink. I already knew I was going to make an Extract and had done that before...which I'll share in another blog post. Yes! Wear gloves. My pair had a little crack in one of the fingers and I had a stain for about a week. I cut all of the green hull off of the nut. This hull is what I used for the Ink and the Extract. I cut the hulls off since I am going to make an Extract as well and also plan on planting the nut. I would like to have my very own source on our property! The link is from the U of M and being a Master Gardener, I am always happy to share the excellent resources and information there.

Our Sister Site...Gaia's Wheel

Image
Wise Women's Journey will have a sister site "Gaia's Wheel" where we will come together and celebrate the Wheel of the Year. Within the next month we will start reaching out, and setting up a calendar of events to celebrate together. Francine and myself are in the planning stages...keep in touch and like-wise we will be doing the same with updates and ideas. Our email is: gaiaswheel@gmail.com FYI...Gaia's Wheel was a networking group that Francine and myself hosted in the Brainerd Lakes Area quite a few years ago during the 2000's. We ran pretty strong for about 5-6 years and held group potlucks to celebrate the Wheel of the Year, study groups, published a monthly newsletter and were a support for those who enjoyed sharing and learning in eclectic alternative philosphies. We'll be chatting with you soon! Blessings, Terri

Can't live without our Horseradish!

Image
As the harvest seasons comes to an end, one of the last projects we do here on the homestead before the snow flies, is to get the horseradish dug and processed. When I moved here to the homestead over 23 years ago, the horseradish has pretty much taken over the garden area. From years of tilling and only harvesting small amounts it had flourished and spread. I began moving the bits and pieces of root to the end of the garden in rows as we tilled each spring. Even though it is still in the garden, it is a small area and is managed by picking the root pieces out each spring after tilling. It only takes a small piece of root for the plant to take hold and grow. I love having my three long rows of transplanted plants at the end of the garden. It is easy to harvest and not scattered among the other vegetables like it had been growing before. Thankfully we still had the mini backhoe (from hubby's work that we've been using for other projects) here and my hubby dug up enough for two
