Good morning. What type of wood is your diffuser? Did you buy the oil from the same company?

Hello. I bought the Japanese cypress and I love it. I did buy the lavender oil from Vorda, but I also use excellent quality brands.

The Haiku workshop blew my mind.

One for you today, giving myself one minute flat:

wise, witty one

"disorganized" yields the gold

(no need to sift, though)

One of my all time favorite books. Inspired to reread it now. Love the idea of a natural lavender diffuser. Is this where you also purchase the lavender essential oil? Thank you

Wow! Not one, but two things I had to buy after reading this -- Let’s Take The Long Way Home , which I've never read and am excited to find, and the incredible spun iron pan., which my son and I both ordered. Much appreciated!

I also dipped into that haiku workshop! And took a very similar screenshot of Jane Hirshfield, mainly because I was curious about the way she piled things on those tables in the background.

I too love Let’s Take the Long Way Home by Gail Caldwell and have read it many times.

I went for German beech + spike lavender oil (and slumber tea, cuz why not do all the things?). Thanks, Elissa.

Oh, that diffuser is exactly what I need. I also despise plastic. So, thank you, thank you! I've got a German Beech model and Rosewood essential oil on their way as I type this.

I was thrilled with everything that you experienced, and plan to try some of what you suggested.

I inhaled Let’s Take The Long Way Home on a rainy weekend a couple years ago. Although, truth be told, even if the sun had been shining my eyes would not have left those pages.

I love that you read it annually. I’m going to revisit it. 💕
