Little Free Libraries are my jam. I have so much love for them that I established my own Little Free Library! I get so excited when I go out to my library & see different books! I was afraid that people wouldn't use the library, but it's a hit! I love that we were able to provide an area for people to access free books.

A super cute herb garden using tin cans!

Dollar Tree has shown up this year when it comes to gardening supplies. I browsed the garden supply area in the store over the weekend & it made me so excited for this year's season.

I've wanted to start an herb garden for a while now. Because the herbs will be grown mostly indoors, I could start it at any time. So, when I saw the Herb Rockets among the gardening supplies at Dollar Tree, I immediately got them & decided to begin my herb garden!

In preparation for the 2023 gardening season, I have been saving all sorts of tins & containers for seed starting. I mostly keep smaller containers, but I did have a few larger tin cans that I knew would be perfect for seed-starting the herb garden.

The Herb Rocket was easy to plant. It's basically a roll of seeds that get put into the soil. Unfortunately, the instructions are super vague, so I did my own thing. 

I have never been happier to see the end of a year in my life.

2022 aged me about a thousand years! It was lesson after lesson in grief, heartbreak, betrayal & problem-solving. I had to become a different person while still wanting to cling to a life that no longer existed. There were times when so many things were thrown my way at once I thought my head was going to explode!

Despite the hardships, I found strength and resilience within myself & I emerged from the year more enlightened than ever.

(But, if the universe is listening, I never want to go through that again!)

My plans for 2023 are to let things flow. I spent a good portion of 2022 trying to swim upstream, forcing situations to fit into whatever I thought to be the "right" thing to do. I had to learn that I can't force anything & trying to intervene is pointless. I must be at peace, knowing the karma will work itself out without my intervention.
