The Juxtaposition of the Apple Blossom Trees. I Just Had to Share with You.

Posted by Barbara Techel

It’s our last evening in Blue Ridge, GA. Tomorrow we head to warmer weather. It was our plan to stay through Saturday then travel on to Chattanooga, TN for four days, but we are pivoting. Rain is expected on and off – mostly on – for the next six days in both areas.

But today I just had to share with you the apple blossoms in full bloom! We took a drive along Aska road this morning which winds along the Tocca river and we came across this gorgeous row of apple blossom trees. The farmland itself is spectacular with horses and cows grazing but it’s also a wedding venue. What a stellar place to get married.

Then turning around and driving back down Aska road, coming to the end again, I noticed this row of apple blossoms lined along a cemetery. Such a juxtaposition, I thought. It reminded me of the Circle of Life.

While there is so much going on in our world, I feel grateful for this trip and soaking up every moment of it. Because as the apple blossom trees along the cemetery reminded me….life is short.

The Women’s Well Podcast: Animal Medicine as a Healing Practice

Posted by Barbara Techel

I’m still away on hiatus and really enjoying the Blue Ridge, GA, and surrounding areas. Though we’ve been hit with a lot of rain and more on the way, we have a few days of sunshine we are taking advantage of. It’s been unusually rainy and cold here is what the locals have told us. Go figure! We may pivot at some point and re-think our plans. Will see!

But today I’m bringing you a conversation with good friend, podcast host of The Women’s Well, and all-around lovely lady, Lisa Morris Miller. We talk about animals as oracles and calling on their essences and archetypal patterns as guides that reflect our strengths and vulnerabilities and help us to grow in surprising, unexpected, and welcome ways! Lisa and I share recent personal experiences with animal wisdom and how they each helped us in small and big ways. I think you will really enjoy this conversation!

The Women’s Well podcast is a place to nourish your health and spirit. Well guests are ordinary extraordinary women with a story, and in the telling, they shine inspiration for us all.

At The Well, we’re about the hard-earned wisdom that comes from the deep work of healing — We’re about making meaning from hardship. And humor, of course, which is often right there, next to the rough spots.

I hope you enjoy!

Miracles, Magic & Freedom – Animal Oracle Reading – Week of March 14

Posted by Barbara Techel

Here we go….heading into spring which officially begins next Saturday! All the snow has melted here and as I write this today it is super windy. I see the wind as drying the ground and waking up the dormant grass.

This week’s reading is a beeeeautiful one – I hope you will think so, too! Full of uplifting energy, which you perhaps gathered from the title of this post.

Helping others connect more deeply to themselves and the animal kingdom is my labor of love. If you love what I’m doing and my work has impacted you in a beneficial way I hope you’ll consider supporting me. Thank you!!  🙂
