How Being Laid Off Fulfilled My Manifestation
These last two weeks have been full of chapters closing while new ones are being written in front of me. I've started a new journey, one that I have desired for a long time, but was always hesitant to pull the trigger. Unknowingly by focusing on my career I was holding myself back in fulfilling my dreams. The universe, or God, has a way of bringing you your wishes in the most unexpected ways…
A spark of Inspiration
Me and my first food processor license
For years I have been developing my business, trying to align what I desired with a tangible creation. One that could inspire just as I was inspired. I put all I could into this website cultivating a haven for gaining herbal knowledge. Throughout these years I have been manifesting success in my business but struggled to find the time to make my dreams come to life. In my profession I work for small businesses helping them scale and building them from the ground up. I’m good at it too! I’ve done more in my seven years in the industry than I ever expected to. Rising in the ranks to Lab Director where I managed a multi-million dollar business with over twenty employees under me, I learned a whole lot. As fulfilling as I found this work, creating compliance and order from nothing, still I knew that this was not my divine path. I was not put on this Earth to help other people make millions…
The Birth of Elemental Planet
No, my true destiny is to help people by spreading knowledge. To teach people and inspire them to want to learn. I am meant to teach people what I’ve learned in my short life so far. To gain as much wisdom as I can and share that too. My subject matter is Nature and what we can learn from the gifts of this Earth. To take what you learn and apply it to your life to create a holistic existence, one in balance with the natural world not living against it. I am constantly inspired by nature and the nuances you can discover by studying the chemistry and biology that surrounds us.

Four years ago this desire to teach led me to create this blog. I didn't know at first what I would do with this new creation, just that I felt a divine push to write. Words came slowly at first. I felt bound by what I knew and my writing reflected that. My first posts read like scholarly articles. That is what I knew as a scientist. The more I wrote the deeper I fell in love with Nature. I started to share other tips and tricks I had learned from working in the manufacturing world and applied them to the field of herbalism. Slowly I found my voice. I started to discover things about myself through writing. For one, I discovered how much I enjoy writing! And not just research articles but ones from the heart too. I never want to stop and never will. I am creating a haven to share myself with the world and can only hope to connect with others as inspired as me.
Closing a Chapter and Opening Another
And that brings us to this new chapter I see unfolding around me, one of new beginnings and of old desires. For the first time in a decade I find myself with time on my hands, time to create, to write and to dream. Last week I was laid off from my job, a very unexpected and shocking event. One that I honestly never thought would happen! For some reason though, instead of feeling fear and unease when this happened, I felt light and free. It felt destined. Like I said, the universe has an interesting way of bringing you your manifestations. I’m the type of person to put my all into my work. So much so that I let my dreams slip aside. I believe that's why the universe aligned my manifestation this way. I wouldn't have had the time to truly devote myself to my dreams unless my time was freed. And freed it is! I feel as if a weight has been lifted from my shoulders and a veil lifted from my eyes. I can see the path in front of me and I can finally see how to get there. This website is a tool to create the reality I desire. I want to make available what I have learned through years of trial and error. I find teaching a way to deepen my knowledge and with time cultivate that into wisdom.
My Vision
I want to deepen this new love of writing and lean into it. Ebooks are an amazing way to write books without a publisher. I love the internet for creating such an amazing tool! I plan on writing several more ebooks and have them for sale here on my site. I already wrote one and it was an experience that helped me grow and learn things about myself I wasn't expecting! The process of writing is a reflective one. You go deep into yourself to pull out words that paint a vision from your mind.
As always I will update my blog regularly with content for all to enjoy! My vision revolves around the beauty and ancient knowledge of herbalism. This form of medicine gave birth to all our modernity, it allowed us to survive for millenia on this beautiful but harsh planet. I’ve also been getting deep into natural self care products lately so expect to see more of that coming your way!
I also want to launch a natural skin and hair care line using my experience of cosmetic formulation in a way to create my own vision. For years I have made other people's products and I am ready to create some of my own! In fact I already have, well in theory anyway. I have been doing intense product development for the last two years to create a product line that I can attest to. Just ask my family, they were the eager participants in my creation process. Helping to refine each recipe, perfecting them into powerful formulas. I love using sustainable and clean ingredients. Creating simple recipes that use each ingredient intentionally, not adding anything unnecessary. Each formula I have developed I use on a daily basis and I cannot wait to share them with the world! Launching a product line is no easy task though, stay tuned for updates as I slowly release all this goodness into the world.
This path I find myself on excites me. I cannot wait to see it unfold as I pour my soul into all of these creations!
