    Magic Healing Salve DIY

    June 28, 2018 /

    I was introduced to healing salve on a backpacking trip a few years ago.  We used it for everything from burns to blisters, bug bites to chapstick and everything in between. Healing Salve is a wonderful natural alternative to many topical products that only have claims and chemicals. My family is not as interested in natural body products as I am and they would roll their eyes and say I was “making something again.” They since have become believers and have given it the name Magic Healing Salve because it really works for just about anything!! Although It takes a little while to make because you let it steep in…

    Secrets of Effective Conflict Resolution

    June 12, 2018 /

    Life is full of conflict but it doesn’t have to consume your relationships, these tips will encourage you to resolve conflict more quickly and develop peaceful communication and relationships. I have developed this insight on how to resolve conflicts through some of the challenges that I have encountered myself and when done consistently, they work!

Welcome to the Village!

Hello, I’m Monica!
You may have heard the wise old adage, “It takes a Village.” It is one of my favorite sayings and although usually referring to raising a child, I find it applies to many of life’s journeys.

My vision is to have a safe space for us all to share and help each other create that village!
