Stop and Smell the Roses

My first thoughts about starting this blog contained the opening paragraphs of The Hobbit .

I have always loved how Tolkien started that story with the simplicity of describing what a hobbit home looks/feels like. As if he was letting us know from page one that something extraordinary can happen with the opening of a door.

To me, On Wanderwood Lane has been my “hole in the ground”. I’ve wanted each page to represent a different room, all of them filled with the things that make it feel cozy, comfortable and welcoming…like home to me…and hopefully you too 🙂

I’ve been doing a little renovating recently and have added a new room, lovingly named in honor of my favorite unexpected journey.

For the past several months, I have been exploring the wonderfully wide world of aromatics via an aromatherapy certification course. What I am learning is not only fascinating to discover but has also been imperative to add to my wellness practice.

My dear hobbits are big fans of things that grow (nature) and I have no doubt they knew there was something truly special in their gardens, verges, flowerbeds and forests.

As I begin to make products and compile case studies, I already know my desire to help people with the knowledge I’ve gained will increase to those well beyond my front door.

This is the space I will endeavor to do that!!

In the weeks, months and years to come, I’ll be sharing my increasing love of nature and how incredible our sense of smell is.

When combined, I find it quite magical and I look forward to sharing it with you!
