Lady Greenthumbs

It’s build day at The Harmony Lab + Apothecary.

So super grateful for this maker community in the mountains, upstate NY. When everything is breaking down in the matrix of an outdated and unjust paradigm, feels so good to build a grassroots vision for a New Paradigm with the assistance of some of the dopest beings around.

I love my hoe.

I started this blog in 2010, when blogs were a thing, as I was transitioning out of a decade of Brand Dev, Marketing and PR. A very poignant time in my journey as I officially left the NYC rat race to walk my path as a healer and step out from behind the desk.

A few years leading up to this blog’s birth in 2010, I was inspired by one of the video games I was working on, Gardening Mamma, to grow some food on my rooftop in Brooklyn, yearning to be closer to my own grow, in real life – not a digital game/sim. (Or perhaps irl is a sim, and we’re actually in a video game… hmmmm… other topics for other days)

2008-2010 was also the time social media facebook groups were getting big for Consumer Products and Technology companies and I decided to take on the persona of the main character in the video game, Gardening Mama and host a FB group… I got so into it and it really birthed the Greenthumb Geek I AM, outside of my earliest greenthumb geek inspiration, mi alma, mi corazon, grandma Marion, and naturally, Pachamama who I’ve been ‘working with’ (flipping energetics) since I was little.

And so, I was persona: Gardening Mama at my agency during the day and out of office was moonlighting with healers and shamans while also farming on my rooftop in Brooklyn, around the corner from Grand Army Plaza and Prospect Park. A weird and magickal time.

While I was excited by this specific project I also began to get really overwhelmed by a life that I had created for myself in the agency world that no longer suited me. Greenthumbing and initiations into ‘healing’ tapped me into my Truth in a deeper way.

I could no longer sit behind a desk, even if video game PR was quite a trip. I was a healer since I was little, I was ready to stop fronting. I am also a dirt and Earth warrior, and no better expression than to work with her and honor her by growing food and living for a more sustainable future both within and without. So in 2008-2010 at the onset of businesses using Social Media I felt everything starting pick up in the matrix/world because of it and – I WANTED OUT OF THE RAT RACE… So I walked my truth…. I was a psychic, intuitive, healer behind a desk? Duh, GET OUT! Walk your path. Do you.
