WildesArt

Celebrating Kindness & Creativity

I’ve chosen my painting, View from Wendy’s Kitchen, to celebrate WildesArt 2.0: a place where creative folks and people doing kind deeds will be heralded. This painting represents the view from my late friend, Wendy’s, kitchen window, which I painted for her when she was battling cancer. Wendy and I became friends in college (late in life), and she always reminded me to look for the beauty in nature, small objects, and in people.

Keep an eye on the new WildesArt to discover people who are making big and small differences in their communities. After all, we can all use a jolt of positivity in our lives!

Beekeeper and Permaculture Practitioner: Tara Lynne Groth

Celebrating the Environment

I’m inspired and impressed by how my friend, Tara Lynne, walks the walk of homesteading on her Five Acres Honey Farm in Pittsboro, NC. Read about her passions of beekeeping and permaculture here, and find out how you can read more on her website and through her blog, both of which are chockfull of information that we can all use to help maintain a healthy environment, body and mind.

I’ve heard that Tara Lynne is running a brief mentorship spring sale March 20-23, 2025 — and some mentees will get free bees! Check it out here.

Also, on March 19, 2025, Tara Lynne is hosting a Natural Beekeeping Webinar. Paid subscribers to her blog will get free access to this webinar! You can sign up here.
