When Harold and I first found this property here in the mountains of North Idaho, one of the very first thoughts that came to me was:
“This is going to become a healing garden for many people.”
At the time, I had absolutely no idea what that was going to look like.
At first, I took the whole “healing garden” idea rather literally. 😊
We planted an orchard... three different times. And three different times, the rodents spent the winters eating through the roots, no matter how carefully we tried to protect the trees.
Then I grew so much food that I had to learn how to can it all.
I still have some of that canned food.
Apparently, two people don't eat nearly as much canned food as I thought they would. At least these two don't. 🫣
Eventually, I began to realize that maybe the “garden” I had envisioned all those years ago wasn't supposed to be quite so literal.
Especially when you live on a mountain in what is basically a giant Christmas tree forest, rather than down in the valley where there's plenty of water and things actually seem to want to grow. 😊
Maybe the “healing” part was more important than the “garden” part after all. ❤️
And in its own way, this property really is a garden.
There is something about this land that I've always had a hard time putting into words. We have an amazing variety of trees growing together here, and when you walk through the forest, different areas of the property somehow have their own feeling.
It's peaceful, but it's more than peaceful.
The land itself feels transformational.
Maybe that's why that thought came to me so clearly when we first found this place.
Over the years, My Healing Garden grew into something I never could have imagined back then. Instead of people coming here, I found myself reaching people all over the world—from a distance—through energy healing, intuitive readings, biofeedback sessions, orgonite, and all the other strange and wonderful things I seem to find myself doing. 😊
But somewhere inside, I always knew that eventually the right people would find their way here—the people who were meant to experience this little piece of the mountain for themselves.
I just didn't know when... or exactly what I was supposed to have ready for them when they arrived. 😊
And now, after all these years, I think I finally do.
