How can one separate time when it is all at once?  My memory is an ancient one, and I love to get lost in my earliest, most natural memories.  I close my eyes and see green, sparkling green.  My art translates a sliver of these images.  My book characters also dwell here, some in mossy hillside homes, cosy in the Earth, and covered in wildflowers.  Antonia’s Bakery is a such a children’s book.  My Leona novels are from another series that bridges old and new days.  An enchanting new book, featuring more illustrations of natural earthen homes, is coming soon!  In my stories, many ideas for preserving and appreciating nature are shared.

Below is a video about bushcraft and loving nature that feels grounding for the viewer.  I came across it this week while doing some research for our woods and cottage garden.  These building techniques remind me of my family now, which is my ancient soul family.  We lived with the Earth and we try every day to get back to that peace.  Remember when building your homes, it is important to use the most natural, non-toxic, and sustainable materials and systems.  This is not only healthy for you now, but for all of the universe in all time periods.  Prevent pollution and heal the Earth.  Grow goodness!  Love, Amor Milagre

Here is another video by a talented woman who made a similar house. I’m not into the lights, but her techniques are wonderful to learn!
