Lately, I’ve been pondering the purpose of our existence as humans.

What are we really here to do?

What truly matters when all the noise falls away?

I’m part of a neighborhood whatsapp group where people often insist we shouldn’t feed the homeless or give to the poor—because it “attracts vagrants.”

And every time I read those words, something in me aches.

I was raised admiring my grandmother, who believed no one should ever leave her doorstep hungry.

Her kindness wasn’t strategic.
It was human.

Sometimes I wonder—have we forgotten that?
Have we narrowed our lives down to protecting comfort, property values, and ourselves?

I keep returning to this truth:
One of us can’t be free until everybody is free.

Francis of Assisi said it so beautifully:
“Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received—only what you have given: a full heart, enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice, and courage.”

We don’t take our achievements.
We don’t take our possessions.
We don’t even take the version of ourselves. We worked so hard to defend.

We take the love we offered.
The times we softened instead of hardened.
The moments we chose compassion over comfort.

Maybe the meaning of life isn’t about becoming more…
but about giving more—

until no one is left behind.
Until all of us are free. 🤍

If the government says it’s raining
and the news says it’s sunny,

it becomes your responsibility to step outside
and feel the air on your own skin.

See the weather for yourself.

Not to argue.
Not to prove anyone wrong.
Just to notice what’s true for you.

So many of us were taught to doubt our own perception.

To override our inner knowing with authority, noise, headlines, opinions.

To disconnect from our own inner compass - the nervous system.

Healing is the slow return to self-trust.
It’s remembering that your body knows when something feels off.
Your intuition knows when something doesn’t add up.
Your lived experience matters more than any loud voice telling you otherwise.

You are allowed to pause.
You are allowed to check in with yourself.
You are allowed to say, “Let me see for myself.”

This is how we come home.
This is how we reclaim clarity.
This is how we stop abandoning ourselves.

Look outside.
Feel the weather.
Trust what you notice.


1. The sunflowers are blooming!
2. Patiently waiting for the tomatoes to start ripening.
3. Drying Lavender for medicinal tinctures.

Today was a sad day in my garden.

After months of tending to my sugar baby watermelon plants, I noticed rot beginning on the fruit. At first, I assumed it was outside damage. Birds. Bad luck. Something beyond my control. But after looking more closely, I realised the truth was quieter and harder to accept.

I had been overwatering them.

Because of the intense heat in Cape Town, I was watering every night. I believed I was protecting them. Nurturing them. Making sure they didn’t suffer. And yet, that very care is what caused the harm.

This feels like such a clear mirror of what’s happening in our world right now.
So many of us are exhausted from trying to hold everything together. We love harder when things feel unsafe. We give more when systems feel unstable. We overextend in relationships, parenting, work, and even self-improvement because we are afraid that if we stop, something will fall apart.

But sometimes, too much care without space becomes suffocating.
In relationships, we may over-explain, over-accommodate, over-stay. In society, we consume constant news, constant outrage, constant fear, believing awareness equals protection. In ourselves, we push healing faster than the nervous system can integrate, mistaking intensity for progress.

Just like the watermelons, what was needed wasn’t more effort.

It was restraint.
It was trust.
It was space.

Growth requires oxygen. Roots need dryness between nourishment to strengthen. The nervous system needs pauses to repair. Love needs room to breathe.

Overwatering often comes from fear, not failure.

Fear of loss. Fear of heat. Fear of not doing enough in a world that already feels like too much.

If something in your life feels like it’s rotting despite your best intentions, it may not mean you’re neglecting it. It may mean you’re loving it in a way that no longer matches its needs.

And that realization doesn’t make you careless.

It makes you aware.

Today, I’ll water less. I’ll let the soil dry. I’ll trust the plant to do what it knows how to do.

And maybe you can ask yourself gently:
Where am I overwatering?
Where am I giving out of fear instead of alignment?
Where might space be more healing than effort?
You don’t have to abandon what you care about.

You may simply need to step back and let life breathe.

With love,
Samantha-Jane

There is something deeply grounding about cooking with food you’ve grown yourself 🤍

Today’s pot of love was a simple, nourishing vegetable soup made with zucchini, ripe tomatoes, Swiss chard, kale and whatever else the garden offered up. Freshly harvested, gently simmered, and full of life.

As I stirred the pot, I kept thinking about this quote:
“Growing your own food is like printing your own money.”

This quote is famously attributed to Ron Finley, the Los Angeles–based “gangsta gardener” and urban gardening activist. What he speaks to is so powerful. When you grow your own food, you’re not just saving money — you’re creating wealth in the truest sense.

Food becomes freedom.
Freedom from inflated grocery prices.
Freedom from low-quality, nutrient-poor food.
Freedom from reliance on systems that don’t always serve our health or our communities.

Growing your own food turns soil into security. It transforms seeds into nourishment, resilience, and quiet abundance — especially in places where fresh food is hard to access. It’s self-sufficiency, dignity, and care… all growing right outside your door

This soup tastes like gratitude, simplicity, and the kind of wealth that actually feeds you.

Across cultures, faiths, and philosophies, this message speaks to the same truth: Healing happens when we root ourselves where we are, tend to what is within our care, and trust the slow, sacred process of growth.

Hypnosis isn’t about escape.
Self-sufficiency isn’t about isolation.
Permaculture isn’t just about food.

They all gently guide us back into relationship — with our bodies, our nervous systems, the land beneath our feet, and the inner soil of the mind.

When we invest time in the inner work through meditation or sleep hypnosis, we are tending to our inner garden. When we plant gardens, inside or out, we teach the subconscious safety.

When we build stable inner “homes,” the mind learns it no longer has to be in survival mode. When we eat the fruit of our own tending — rest, nourishment, boundaries, self-trust — healing becomes sustainable.
This is ancient psychology.
This is nervous system regulation.
This is remembering how to belong… to yourself.

🌿 Tend what feeds you
🌿 Build what supports you
🌿 Stay long enough to receive the harvest

Healing is not rushed.
It grows.

Potatoes quietly made their way onto the Environmental Working Group’s 2025 Dirty Dozen list, sitting at number 12. Not because they’re inherently bad, but because so many conventional potatoes carry detectable pesticide residues — including chlorpropham, a chemical used to stop sprouting during storage. They now stand alongside crops like spinach, strawberries, and blueberries… foods many of us associate with nourishment and care.

And honestly? That stopped me in my tracks.

I don’t know about you, but I am not willing to knowingly feed my family food from the Dirty Dozen. Not when there’s another way — even a small one.

So this year, I chose differently.

I began with seed potatoes from Living Seeds Farm, and I lovingly chitted a few organic potatoes in egg cartons, letting them wake up slowly over a couple of weeks. Tiny shoots, full of promise. Life preparing itself.

My garden space is limited — very limited — but I’ve learned that creativity grows best where space is tight. I built a no-dig raised bed, cowboy-style, using bricks, good potting soil, and straw as a soft, protective mulch. I added a few 5-gallon grow bags. And when I ran out of space completely? I reached for what I had.

Woolworths fabric shopping bags.

Over the years I’ve grown basil and smaller crops in those bags, but this time I went all in. Potatoes. In a shopping bag. And I cannot tell you how excited I am to see what they’ll produce — proof that abundance doesn’t require perfection, only willingness.
Scattered throughout the garden are sweet potatoes too — one of nature’s quiet miracles. A true permaculture gem. Perennial in many climates. Generous, forgiving, resilient. They remind me that food doesn’t need to be complicated to be powerful.

And this is what I want you to know:

If you live in an apartment…
If you’re short on time…
If money feels tight…
Grow something anyway.

Grow walking onions. Lettuce. Herbs. Garlic greens on your kitchen windowsill. A sweet potato in a grow bag on your patio. Start small. Start cheaply. Start exactly where you are.

Self-sustainability is not a trend.

It is your birthright.

Growing food. Touching the soil. Feeding the people you love — this is ancient knowledge. It lives in your bones. It lives in your DNA.

And every seed you plant is a quiet act of rebellion… and a powerful act of love. 🌱💚

With all my love,
Samantha-Jane

This festive season didn’t bring me peace through slowing down —
it found me in the soil.

While the world felt loud, rushed, and over-stimulated, I disappeared into the summer garden.

Hands in the earth.
Seeds between fingers.
Chickens causing absolute chaos.

No lawn.
No perfection.
Just life, growing wildly.

I’ve been growing more food than ever before — heirloom tomatoes, pumpkins, squash, cucumbers, berries, grapes, figs, peppers that will absolutely ruin you 🌶️ — pushing the quiet question of how much can be grown in a small urban space?

And somewhere between building a fence to protect the crops from my very dramatic chickens, soaking an egg-bound hen in a warm Epsom salt bath, and watching seedlings emerge…
something in me softened.

Wabi-sabi teaches us that beauty lives in the imperfect.

Zen reminds us that presence is enough.

Permaculture shows us that nature doesn’t rush — yet everything gets done.

The garden didn’t ask me to optimize, hustle, or plan the next thing.
It simply asked me to be here.

This is the same space I try to create in my work —
a place where the nervous system can exhale,
where the year loosens its grip,
where rest arrives without effort.

If this season has felt busy, loud, or overwhelming…
maybe peace isn’t found in escaping it all,
but in tending something small, slow, and alive.

A plant.
A breath.
A moment of rest.

There is so much abundance waiting when we stop forcing and start listening 🌿

This quote by Carl Jung speaks of one of the most profound truths of human transformation.

Jung, the father of analytical psychology, believed that much of our suffering, repeating patterns, and “bad luck” in life aren’t random at all, these are messages from the subconscious mind asking to be seen, felt, and healed.

The subconscious mind holds everything we’ve suppressed: unprocessed emotions, childhood wounds, fears, desires, and forgotten dreams.

When we don’t bring them into awareness, they shape our choices, relationships, and self-image — silently writing the script of our lives.

The moment we turn inward…
When we meet our shadows instead of avoiding them…
We begin to reclaim our power.

True healing happens when we illuminate the hidden corners of the psyche by transforming pain into wisdom, fear into freedom, and subconscious patterns into conscious creation. This is simple transmutation and you my friend, are the alchemist.

So find a quiet moment in your day, pause and ask yourself:

What parts of me are longing to be seen?

What patterns keep repeating, asking for my awareness?

When you meet yourself in the dark, you awaken your light and inner transformation.

With love and light,
Samantha-Jane
