Happy February 1st! Are you thinking about your garden yet, or your spring plans, or anything else that involves more outside, in the sunshine, warm weather time? I am, as I frequently say, already "exploding with ideas" and in an effort to get them a bit more under wraps and get my mind-space more coordinated, I realized I've been ignoring this perfect forum for all of the ideas that have been arising out of many interesting conversations and experiences...
Hello Idea Tree, I’ve missed you! Keep in mind, I’ll be working out all the kinks on the blog in the coming days and weeks. I’m also thinking it’d be great to add some tabs for categories e.g. Gardening, Food/Recipes, DIY, Interiors, and Miscellaneous and equally interesting ideas. Any input is greatly appreciated...what do you want to hear and see on The Idea Tree?
Here’s a little bit about what I’ve been up to in the past few months. I returned to beautiful Colorado at the beginning of November and was simultaneously inspired and completely exhausted from everything I’d learned and experienced. Over September and October my time in California was spent studying permaculture, working on an organic farm, attending a multitude of conferences and events, and spending time with many wonderful individuals.
I arrived back home feeling torn about where I wanted to live, what I wanted to pursue, and a lot of other frustrating feelings that are probably fairly normal for a 24 year old. After an equally exhausting holiday season traveling around the country, exploring potential places to relocate, my partner and I finally decided that Colorado is truly where we want to be. It was true for us that after leaving a place we’ve both lived for a long time, we inevitably ended up appreciating and recognizing a lot that we love and would miss if we were to make a move at this time in our lives.
There is still a lot that I’m trying to figure out, and I believe when I’m 80 years old, I’ll still be trying to get myself together. So here’s to recording some of things that inspire me and will hopefully inspire you this year!
