Jessica Trusty of Trusty Owl Studio talks about her P.A.U.S.E. project and how it has been 8 years in the making. Lots of inspiration here to simplify, reflect and consider how to be a good elder and lean against rocks and trees more often. She discusses how connecting with the plants and nature energies has given her support and answers through difficult times. She gets real about her eating experiences and the healing power of self acceptance and celebrating one's thistles. So much wisdom and power in her words and imagery!
