I don’t have it all figured out so when I stumble and fall I call it Poetry. Life gets messy, its Poetic Living. Poetry. It’s what i like to call it when life tries to knock me down, its when i find the things I’m grateful for, its when i NEED to express myself, its when I stop to take a breath and look at my beautiful children, and my amazing husband, its when I remember…I can have running water in my home any time I want…its also when I Forget, “wait, other people don’t have running water.. who am i to enjoy…” Wait..It’s when i NEED to remember... Guilt will not serve me, feeling shame will not serve me…so why should I be grateful again? Oh right. Because I actually CARE. I actually DO care about the world. I actually want to do something about it. So i NEED to remember…to be WELL. To live my life, every moment of my life Remembering.. and forgetting.. and then REMEMBERING again.. because its NECESSARY in this world of injustices, and beauty and corruption and love and Hate.. it all lives here.. together on this Planet whether we like it or not.  Halloween 2017 Scarecrow and Bunny : ) And we need to Feel these things…inside of us FIRST.. so that we don’t project them onto others.. especially our loved ones.
So who else has gotten in a fight with someone they love over a political issue or something horrible that is happening in the world... something horrible that hateful, disgusting people created.. and then we choose, whether consciously or unconsciously, to bring this energy into our home? Well then, if we don’t bring it into our home are we in denial or in La-la land? NO. but do we know how to handle it? Who will teach us to SEE it & PROCESS this entity in a way that will not feed IT the sadness, anger, guilt & shame that it craves from us? Do we know how? Is it even possible to process this LIFE, Consciously, lovingly, with PRACTICAL Anger so as to not invite this hidden agenda of disempowerment into our daily living? Me neither. But I TRY daily. I intend it…. to see beauty, to see truth. to feel. to live. really live. remembering… sometimes forgetting… but then I Remember… I make it a monthly intention and then I choose not to hide or run away from what is needed of me. We are each the Sun & the Light that helps each other SEE.

WHAT ARE YOUR NEW MOON INTENTIONS? We are still in the New Moon window, its not too late to set your intentions! I have been using the 4 phases of the Moon (and essential oils of course!) to manifest my goals and set intentions for the life I want to live over the last 6 years maybe longer... and I have been writing Poetry to turn my challenges into Beauty for even longer ..for over 20 years! I wrote a poetry book called "Phases of the Moon" in my 20's when I had no idea how the Phases of the Moon would influence my life today. I honestly feel that safely moving my family to Ukiah from Los Angeles 2 yrs ago and successfully finding a home in a place that is considered to have a "housing crisis" could not have happened without having daily self care rituals, following my intuition, Spirituality, and connecting with Earth's natural rhythms & cycles including the Sun & Moon. I've learned that our environment & the natural world around us has many lessons to teach us.  These practices did not "magically" make my home appear out of thin air- but it definitely raised my confidence and gave me the courage to BELIEVE that it was even possible! I created New Moon body spray for creating inspiration in our life to follow our goals and dreams. Each blend is made with rose water, organic essential oils and a little quartz crystal inside each bottle. Violetta and I hold the little quartz crystals in our hands and we say a little prayer together to send love & happiness to each person that will receive the bottle <3 Use the organic essential oil blend to raise your vibration and activate your New Moon intentions! This is how I use it

 My Dining table |  Opposite my dining table is my workspace. With photos of my kids & animal spirit artwork. |
First thing I did was get CLEAR. Writing the blog gave me Clarity about my situation and avoid making things up in my head about what a horrible person I am for not putting away my laundry after it was washed.
After I got clear, I reviewed my New Moon intentions and reminded myself that it is very important for me to have a home filled with Fun and Love for my kids, Angel and I to Creatively thrive in but also keep it Clean & Organized physically & energetically in order to promote our Spiritual Growth.
I also got clear about what my VALUES are and aligned them with the Inspired Actions I would like to take.
And by the way.. I am journaling as I do this.. not the beautiful pretty cursive legible handwriting kind of journaling... but the brain dumping and "why? Why? why haven't I done this already? Why?" kind of questions and vents that needs to come out of my head!
Can you relate?
After doing this... my house magically got clean and organized... really!! That's what it felt like!
Whereas over the last few days I was huffing and puffing to squeeze in time for housework, yesterday, after I connected to Higher Self and did my Self Care Rituals... I am surround by a home that is clean and organized, supports my creativity and my Spiritual Evolution <3
Sound easy? It can be.. but it wasn't easy for me a few days ago when I thought feeling guilt and shame was gonna get my house in order.
I first blessed my home and felt gratitude for all it has given me, I blessed myself for all the good I do for myself, my kids and others and I reminded myself of all the good qualities I have to offer the world, I raised my vibration.. then I got to work!
Kids crafts, laundry, Poetic Potions products, old receipts, junk mail, toys, books... all in their place, rearranged some furniture to create a new workspace to create new Poetic Potions and DONE!
Problem solved!
Here is the link where you can read yesterdays article where I also share my new Spring Daily Self Care list and what I do to connect to my Higher Self <3

Spring time creativity w/ my daughter My house is a mess right now! And I am not ashamed to admit this!
The reason I am not ashamed to admit this is because this has nothing to do with laziness or procrastination, for me…. it has to do with clarity.
I was starting to get down on myself for letting my home get this way but then I looked around, and then I looked at my schedule and I got clear about whats going on… SPRING TIME is here!
This might not mean much to any of you, but with the changing seasons comes a messy home for me because my routine starts to change. And when my routine changes, housework is the first to suffer lol!
Which is why having a Spiritual Self Care Altar is super important to me. Because no matter what is going on in my external world, my Self Care Altar reminds me that my "inner work" is just as important and connecting to my Higher Self ultimately shapes my "outer world", meaning my physical environment.
So now that we are having sunny days I am outdoors more often and attending more events around town. All Winter long, I was mostly indoors when I wasn’t working on my business so I had an easy schedule I could commit to for housework.
Nowadays, the time that I would usually schedule for housework has been replaced with new activities! New activities that don’t happen during Winter.. Soooo its time to revamp my Daily Inspired Action list and Self Care ritual for Spring!
Many people right now are in “Spring Cleaning” mode and that is somewhat what I am doing as well, but I like to include energetic clearing, Daily Inspired Actions (aka my To-Do list) and Self Care rituals into my Spring Cleaning because the energy of our environment is changing. And when the energy of our environment changes, it affects us energetically and ultimately will affect us physically and mentally.
So here is my new Inspired Action List & Spring Self Care Rituals:
~Clean & Organize Altar
My Self Care Altar always comes BEFORE housework. This is my sacred little haven. No matter how disorganized my environment is around me, my Altar always has to look and feel beautiful to me. (Especially having 2 creative souls living under one roof both creating new products... our whole house can easily turn into a workshop in minutes!)
Working on my altar before housework, helps me let go of any resentment I may feel from chores and errands that are not always fun. My Self Care Altar reminds me of my values and guides me to realize the higher purpose of my actions. When I am spiritually balanced, my daily activities feel like Inspired Actions as opposed to just a boring daily To-Do list.
~A daily Brain Dump
This newfound Spring energy has inspired so many projects and ideas that I want to birth but I need to stay focused on my current projects that need completing.
The way I resolve this and not suppress my creativity is write out a list of ALL my ideas and projects I would like to work on. I write it ALL down, things that may or may not ever happend, as well as things that NEED to get done, like returning phone calls or library books, laundry, start a book club or a Lunar Planning meet up group.. Paint, write a poem, craft with my kids.. you know.. dreams as well as not so exciting errands.
I don’t categorizing or list these in order of importance because I don't want to hesitate getting all my thoughts down on paper. If my brain starts to want to analyze any of this, it will defeat the purpose. This is a Brain Dump and its exactly what it sound like. I am dumping all of my thoughts on to the paper and freeing my mind of all the pressure I may feel from my to do list.
Once this Brain Dump is complete, I have the option of sorting through my list or just throwing it out.
~A Monthly Brain Dump
This is similar to the daily Brain Dump but the intention of doing this helps me figure out my “6 Things to Focus on” for the month and then I add this to my Lunar Planner.
I did this yesterday April 3rd which is the first Monday of this Month. Now I am clear about what priorities I need to focus on.
~”Ta-Da” List
Another thing I am working on is an evening “Ta-Da” list.
This is basically a Success list. Instead of a To-Do list, it is a “Ta-Da” list as in things I COMPLETED... Ta-Da!
I write down every thing I did. This helps me see how much I accomplished all day and gives me a feeling of accomplishment. It also reminds me that the sooner I am done with my current projects, I can start on my new ones.
~8 min. Morning Meditation
When I start to feel inspired, it can easily turn into frazzled energy for me and this mostly comes from wanting to do so many things at once and not being clear on my priorities.
For most of the Winter months, I would just light a morning candle and say an affirmation as my Self Care ritual and this would help me tune in to my Divine Self. However, with this new Spring Energy, I wasn’t feeling so in tune or connected to my Higher Self by just lighting my candle and saying a prayer, so I am adding a morning meditation and this is very helpful for me.
Hope this was helpful!

One of the best ways to deal with stress and overwhelm is to create a Self Care Ritual when you are NOT in a state of overwhelm.
When you are having a good day, when you have a sense of peace and calm this is the best time to start creating a self care practice.
The best tool for stress and overwhelm is to deal with it the same way that you deal with health.. PREVENTION!
Just like daily preventative health practices (like exercise and a healthy diet) create good physical health, having daily Self Care Rituals is just like having your very own preventative emotional health practice.
The more you practice regulating your breath and your emotions BEFORE sh*t hits the fan, the better you will be able to handle daily challenges and obstacles when they arise.
One of my favorite and EASIEST Self Care Rituals I do are Dream Work Rituals. It only takes 5 minutes before bed!
When you understand how our subconcious mind works, Dream Work can be a pretty amazing tool.
As soon as you wake up in the morning your subconscious mind is most available to you. In the middle of the night and right as you are opening your eyes in the morning, you have no distractions. No phone, no computer, no tv, no one asking you anything or talking to you, this is a very precious time to have important things revealed to you.
Most of the "limiting beliefs" we have that get in the way of the things we want to accomplish live in our subconscious mind as well. Most of the solutions we need about our life and our body, also live in our subconscious mind and the best way to access this important information is through our dreams.
Answers to simple questions like "What should I make for dinner tomorrow?" or "How can I find more Joy?" to more complex questions like "What can I do about this difficult relationship i'm in" to "how can I best heal my body of this ailment?", chances are, you already know the answers to these questions, you just need to access your subconscious mind to find them.
Below, you will find a worksheet for a super simple Dream Work Ritual
It is a 3 Step Process to help reduce daily stress using your dream time.
The more you do it, the better results you get.
Start this daily stress management routine and make it part of your daily Self Care Ritual.

When I became pregnant with Copal Angel in 2003, I started making my own pregnancy belly oils and diaper rash creams when I found it difficult to find safe body care products for myself and my growing baby. I discovered that many household items in our home that we use on a daily basis contain hazardous and toxic ingredients. This lead to the creation of my business Poetic Potions. Creating my own healing products was just the beginning of an intense self healing journey which has lead to many other new gifts and passions.
Aromatherapy changed my life
Working with herbal remedies, lead me to discover the many wonderful benefits of aromatherapy. I became highly intuitive, aware of my emotions and became happier and healthier than i've ever felt before.
I also became spiritually aware of my environment and the natural world around me. I felt connected to the plants, trees, the Moon and the Sun and understood that these Plant Spirit Guides lead me on this journey.

2003 Baby Belly
It hasn't always been easy...
Plant spirit healing was just the beginning of my journey.
Although I was excited about my life moving forward, I couldn't shake these past emotional and energetic traumas I had gone through in my teen years. I didn't understand why I still felt guilt and shame about certain events in my life. My past was still very much an issue.
About 6 years ago, I dove into the topic of Transformation and the sub-conscious mind. I began learning more about Neuro-linguistic-programming (NLP), dream rituals, hypnotherapy & metaphysics from workshops, books, various self-develpment mentors I met along the way and Indigenous teachers in East Los Angeles, New Mexico and Columbia. Once I made the decision to expand my awareness... all of the people I needed to meet were showing up in my life!
Although I am proud to be Certified as an NLP practitioner and Aromatherapist, my biggest accomplishment, about 15 yrs ago, has been to choose a healthy lifestyle for myself and my family, in spite of being a lost and troubled teenager who dropped out of high school due to drugs and feelings of hopelessness. My guides and mentors taught me how to turn my challenges into learning opportunities and today part of my life's work is to share and guide others how they can do that for themselves as well.
Art & Creativity, my greatest teacher
In my early twenties, I started mentoring troubled youth from the alternative high school I graduated from in Hollywood. From there, I went on to teach Life Skills and Arts & Crafts workshops at various After School Programs and Non Profit Organizations. This is how I discovered my passion for helping people and realized how powerful not only sharing our truth and stories about overcoming obstacles can be but ALSO how important the role of Art can be when transforming our lives. For many people, including myself, creating things with our hands, has the potential to be the highest form of manifesting change. This was certainly the case for me.
I am happy to say that through my teachers, mentors, plant Spirit Guides, ancestors, NLP training and friends I have met along the way, I have learned to find the blessings in every challenge or obstacle.
I have transformed my story about my past to be something that now motivates me and reminds me every day of how much I can accomplish and that I will always be supported.
My Intention
My intention for sharing this story is so that everyone is reminded of their highest potential and continues to uplift each other by sharing and discovering their own gifts and continue co-creating with Mother Earth's gifts. Through our example, our children will also continue to shine their light everywhere they go!
If you ever feel stuck, confused and just need a boost of motivation or positive feedback and inspiration... contact me!
I didn't do all this alone... I've had dozens of people help me get out of my own way over the years.. and I still reach out for help and have mentors guiding me.
Don't hesitate to reach out!
Peace & Love,

~~~What is Aromatherapy & Essential Oils?
Aromatherapy is the use of Essential oils for improving and maintaining Health & Beauty…
The use of essential oils for prevention and healing of common ailments is also sometimes, referred to as "essential oil therapy", as well as, “aromatology".
JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING SMELLS GOOD DOES NOT MAKE IT AROMATHERAPY!
Although odors can influence the state of mind and promote a sense of physical well being- the aroma itself of certain things is not what contains the therapeutic properties. It is the chemical components of the essential oils that does the healing. If it is not an essential oil, its NOT aromatherapy.
ESSENTIAL OILS ARE NOT ACTUALLY "OILS"
Essential oils do not have the characteristics that other oils do- they are not used as lubricants and do not have a greasy feel. Pure essential oils are volatile, which means they evaporate at room temperature and do not leave an oily trace like other oils. What technically makes it an oil, is that it is insoluble in water, meaning it does not dissolve in water.
HOW DO ESSENTIAL OILS WORK?
Essential oils penetrate our skin and absorb into the bloodstream. The molecular structure of essential oils contain the properties that help them "go where they need to go" within our bodies. They are physically healing to our bodies.
Essential oils also affect us mentally and spiritually, therefore, uniting our mind, body and soul creating a holistic healing experience.
AROMATHERAPY CAN EMPOWER ANYONE TO TAKE CONTROL OF THEIR HEALTH!
What many people don't know is that in 1937, when aromatherapy was first coined, there was no division between medicine and aromatherapy.
Many aromatherapy books and essential oils are readily available for people to start taking control of their health and empower themselves through education and prevention.

Dedicated to all the women who want to transform themselves and the world...
~WE ARE DRUM~
I love standing STILL, alone in Mystery,
Within me, lies Infinity.
It's not that I don't like people, I do.
But I LOVE to feel OUR Power... and allow it to flower.
Its amazing, we all have it,
Its Magick, it's our Fruit,
But you've got to stand still in Mystery,
So Infinity takes root.
-But the hustle & bustle of Daytime Rising...
-But the clock that ticks time bombs... that wake us up from Dreams...
-But the skipping of Heart Beats...
...And raging wheels down concrete streets...
-But the E.M.F's...
Everybody's Moving Fast...
That streak of White Light we have ceased to meet,
From our Crown we will Allow heart emoticon
And with the cosmos we will speak again, somehow...
A deep sea scroll of prayer & rain,
Will hydrate, restoring our Glow once again,
Amethyst lands on my lunar chakra,
We spark a flame from our Solstice,
In unison we hum,
We are Drum.

My FAVORITE INGREDIENT Of all Time:
SHEA BUTTER
This is how it usually goes at my house...
Copal: "Mom, my leg is itchy, where's the shea butter??"
And I always get a big smile on my face when he asks me for this! : )
Whether its been a spider bite or minor eczema, it has always worked!
...and for diaper rashes or heat rashes, I have NEVER used anything else!
All we do is wash the area that is itchy or rashy and
rub either
Raw Lavender Shea Butter
OR
Pachamama Salve on it....
and itll be gone before the day is over!
Kids don't usually ask: "Mom, my elbow has a rash, where's the alcohol??"
RIGHT??!!

Violetta My Little Sage
Here we are... February 2012... exciting right??!!! My little Violetta is 4 months old now and she is growing... and growing fast!
I see her as my little sage. She cries just at the perfect moments when I need to learn patience and am probably in my head and needed an interruption to get grounded. She only sleeps for 10 to 20 minutes at a time during the day- just enough time to get my priorities done (10 minutes at a time) and not procrastinate. She sometimes cries, looking straight into my eyes, as if she's asking for something from me but I don't know what it is... and this is when trust is the answer, I have no other option. Maybe a little hint of panic or fear will sneak in to my being for a second but as soon as I recognize it, i dont deny it or try to suppress it. I trust that I will find the answer I need for this situation to pass quickly. If this difficulty doesn't pass, I trust that I will be brave enough to deal with whatever may come. I can almost feel the oxcytocin rise within me with a fierceness ready to fight for my baby girl.Raising a little infant isn't the difficult part, its learning how to take full responsibility for your actions and emotions. I tell myself: How you do anything is how you do everything. Do we really beleive babies cry on purpose to irritate us? Are they little manipulators trying to stop us from getting things done or being happy? Of course not! If my reaction is anything other than compassion for my little crying Vio, it wouldn't match with what I truly believe. I've been learning to step out out of victim mode in EVERY area of my life and this takes daily practice. It is a delicate balance between realizing what you have control of (our reaction), recognizing what is most important (folding laundry or comforting a human being?) and allowing wisdom to present itself out of every challenge. Our children, other people's children, every relationship and situation, whether challenging or easy, is an opportunity for growth- either through self-reflection, gratitude or both! Whatever angry, beautiful, or disastrous our action or reaction is... actually, let me ask you... Do you believe the saying "How you do ANYTHING is how you do EVERYTHING???" Im curious to know what you think! Let me know if you agree or disagree. Leave a comment or let me know on facebook!
