Investments Pay In Uniquely Perfect Ways

Gratitude moment. I received unexpected dividends from and investment today. This quart jar of Nettle Infusion pictured here just set to steep is the image that represents this abundance.

Back in February, I had the opportunity to begin a friendship with @papa-pepper. You can read about that visit here.

I was meeting a Smiling Human Being!...
...who within 3 sentences was sharing his Dreadlocks. Off came the signature hat! Laughs were shared, we were off to a great start.

The topic of Stinging Nettle was discussed. He had just planted some and shared with excitement. I had not had an opportunity to plant any on our homestead yet. The offer to send me some was made, and I accepted.

Since his plants were just babies, I sent him home with a pound of dried Stinging Nettle that I had purchased. To provide him with the material to enjoy her benefits now.

I am honestly admitting I have been neglecting to include this plant friend of mine in my own life for too long now.

Jumping to yesterday...

I received my Package from @papa-pepper.

Fresh Stinging Nettle plants for the begginings of my own patch. I desperately needed this new beggining... the timing was perfect.

This was a good trade, the investment in each others dreams is a beautiful consequence of a good friendship.

I love his creativity in using a photo as a note card. Penning his personal positive message and blessing upon the reverse side. He thoughtfully included a deck of permaculture playing cards as treat. The whole thing was lovely.

The Unexpected Dividend...

This series of events played out in such a way that today I took the step, in a coming home style ritual to bring my friend Stinging Nettle back into my daily life. I am currently making my first nettle infusion in many years.

With this quart jar of amber goodness I have taken the first step in a journey forward... Beginning again. With two friends beside me, Stinging Nettle and @papa-pepper.

This is my unexpected dividend. This is one of those moments that makes me know I am truly on the right path.
Thank you @papa-pepper for your contribution, delivered with divine timing. Dreadful Hugs sent to you and yours.

I am off to a great start with a strong and smiling stride. May my steps dance me through the wilds of a beautiful adventure.
