Artist Maria Deesy
Welcome to "Returning to Myself."
For a long time, I thought healing meant becoming someone new. Now I believe healing is often the gentle process of returning to who we have always been beneath fear, expectations, and the stories we've carried.
This blog is a place where I'll share that journey—not because I have all the answers, but because I've learned there is value in telling the truth about our lives.
Over the years I've worn many hats: herbalist, business owner, artist, student of nature, and someone who has walked through cancer twice. Each experience has changed me, but none has defined me completely.
Here I'll write about what I'm learning through art, herbs, the natural world, relationships, self-worth, and the quiet ways life continues to teach me. Some posts may be deeply personal. Others may simply be reflections sparked by a flower, a painting, or a moment of unexpected clarity.
If something I share resonates with you, I hope it reminds you to trust your own inner wisdom above all else. My journey is my own. Yours will be beautifully unique.
Thank you for being here. I'm grateful our paths have crossed.
