Meaning Making through Ordinary Magic

Chokecherries are more than just berries. They are memory, inheritance, spellwork, and sustenance. In my hands, they are a connection to my mother, my daughter, and the women who came before us—woven into the fabric of our lives, marking the passage of seasons. This is not just a story of harvesting; it is a story of belonging, of lineage. Walk alongside me through scratches and steam, stories and seasons, discovering how small rituals and quiet moments can hold us together when life feels like it’s unraveling.
