Needless to say, one of the best things about being a Herbalist (among a whole lot of many good things) is that I get to hang out with plants. Being a Herbalist gives one the legitimate excuse to wile away the hours (and even days) wandering around in forests, fields, meadows and along riverbanks. (Not that I've ever needed an exuse, thank you very much.)
The other best thing about being a Herablist is that I get to hang out with the most amazing, awesome, wonderful people in the world – my students! My students are among some of the most amazing, beautiful ,wonderful and talented people I have ever met. And this year's students were no exception. Actually – that's not quite true – they were exceptional!!
My students this year raised the bar. They challenged and inspired me.....
My students this year raised the bar. They challenged and inspired me.....
They made me laugh...
They made me cry (in a good way).....
They impressed me beyond my wildest expectations. And for those who know me, you know my expectations are high.
Indeed it was my honour and privilege to have been their guide and mentor these past six months.
As my good friend Jean aka Faery Prairie Dancer said ....10 more women who love the Earth just a little bit more".
And so it goes....
