Apple Blossom Magic & I Fell Into a Book (and Why You Should Too!)
Hi friend~
I hope you've been well and are feeling the bright promise of spring!
Here's what I'm sharing this month:
Your March Playlist
Client Spotlight: Kelly Singh of Shakti Herbalism
Website Design & Personal Branding Photography Openings
I fell into a riveting book! ;-)
Here's your monthly Playlist~
Greetings friends! It’s a joy to bring my newest playlist to you, which is a FUNDRAISER for Ukrainian artist Ruslana Golub @rugolub (That’s her art on the playlist graphic)
If you’ve enjoyed my playlists over the last year (or if you just want to donate directly to an awesome Ukrainian artist & mother who’s had to flee her homeland), I lovingly encourage you to purchase one of her digital art downloads. All funds go directly to support Ruslana and her family.
I’ve been in touch directly with Ruslana (who I met on Instagram) and she is so grateful for all the support. She is safely in Germany now with her young son.
I hope you enjoy this month’s playlist, which I crafted with a lot of love~ There are uplifting soul songs, deep grooves, and a traditional Ukrainian song by @laboratoriumpiesni at the very end.
Client Spotlight: Kelly Singh of Shakti Herbalism
Last month I had the opportunity to photograph Kelly Singh of Shakti Herbalism. She crafts exquisite body care products and herbal tinctures with so much heart. Her luxurious Lakshmi Cream is my new favorite hand cream~ I've been slathering it on daily~ It absorbs quickly and keeps my skin moisturized all day.
We had the photoshoot at the intentional community where my sweet Tom lives here in Sonoma County. The springtime blooms were just starting out, and it was so fun to amble through the garden getting these shots of Kelly.
Please do check out her website for all sorts of lovingly-crafted botanical creations!
Website Design & Personal Branding Photography Openings
I just opened my books for the next few months for Website Design & Photography~ It would be my joy & honor to create a sacred vessel for your offerings.
The website design & Personal Branding Photography journeys I offer are a transformational space to truly step into your gifts and how you are offering them to the world.
Your website is an energetic expression of your unique magic and is an opportunity to attract & connect with your most resonant clients & customers.

THESE BOOKS!!!
Yes, I may have stayed up to midnight several nights this past week completely immersed in these books, The Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Arden. Rich, mythic storytelling set in Medieval Russia featuring vivid land spirits, ethereal immortals and even Baba Yaga! I could not put these books down~ Prepare to be swept away! Have you read any great fiction recently? I've love to hear your recommendations~
I'll leave you with a sweet view of my new spring altar, which has some fresh apple blossoms from my yard. Here in Sonoma County the apple blossoms are in full bloom and they bring back fond memories of my childhood. As a little girl, my favorite game was playing “Witches” and I would gently grasp the branches of my favorite apple tree and transport myself to other worlds.
I also remember walking hand in hand with my beloved grandpa Popi in the apple orchards near my grandparent’s house in Aptos, Ca.
The town I live in now is a major apple producer in the region, and this fleeting window of time when the trees are in bloom is special to me~ Apple blossoms carry such a tender & gentle energy~ They seem to transmit the energy of childhood wonder & innocence right to my heart~
Do you connect with apple trees? What does their energy feel like to you?
Sending you love on the blossom-scented wind,
Tenaya
Here's me & sweet Tom on an epic hike from the top of Mt. Tam down to Stinson Beach & back~
