Gardenwitch's Musings
Inspired by my love of nature and my garden in particular, I have embarked on a midlife career change. This blog will be a place where I can share the journey of building a creative business with its successes and foibles. You will find occasional book reviews, travel logs, and artist date experiences In addition, I will post updates about my garden throughout the year.

This is also a great time to reflect on the impact that consumerism and marketing have on our minds, well being, and wallets. Let’s look at how lifelong learning of skills can help build community, restore a sense of purpose, and steady us in a time of uncertainty.

Internal decluttering is even harder and more rewarding than making the house look neater. Digging down deep as to why and how you’ve managed to accumulate all your stuff is equally important.
