Hello, Zen friends. Its been awhile 😌
I started this new blog during the some stressful times with the hopes to ease my stress. I truly thought it would work this time especially with this blog dealing with spirituality and self-help and healing. Well needless to say, it wasn't a success. Now here we are with a little rebranding of myself and this blog.
Here comes the tomatoes?! Right, okay let me explain. I've had a passion for gardening for the last 6 years. I started by tending to my moms raised bed garden back in 2015 when my family and I moved back to Phx,AZ from Orlando, FL. My mom had been dealing with some medical issues so this was a way to connect with her and brighten her day. The following year we lost my Mom due to sepsis from infection we didn't know she had until after her death.
After her death I didn't touch her garden seriously for at least a year. I had immersed my self in finding a new path in my life as a way of dealing with my grief. In between that short time we had quite a few deaths in my family, all shocking loss like my mothers death. Things were so bad I contemplated suicide, I got the help I thought needed at that time which was high dose depression and anxiety mess. Which now that think about it , was no help at all.
So I knew I had to figure it out, therapy at the time was out of the question. It was really expensive here in Arizona at that time. The only options were behavioral facilities that dealt with mostly substance abuse in my area that were affordable. I thought came to my mind when was a time where I truly felt at peace, then gardening came to my head.
Gardening is one of the most challenging and rewarding things (outside of raising my child) that has always put me at ease. Even when I made mistakes in the things I would grow, I was always left with this sense of peace because I tried my best even if I failed at it. I would just always go back and do it again either a few hours or in the next day.
Speed up to now May 2021 and I'm ready to share this peaceful journey of growing your own stuff in your garden to help you with your own healing mentally and spiritually. I am by no means a spiritual guru or a mental health professional. I'm just a nerdy, hippy woman thats living here life day by day the best that she can.
So welcome to Zenful by Nature 🏞
