“Special delivery!” Sylvia’s plan to spread herself across the country began back in 2006. Once she established her root network she realized there was no limit to the places she could go. She felt the call to adventure that every hero must answer, lest they miss life’s initiation into greatness. Sylvia felt it deeply. The longing for the unknown, the deep desire for dissolution into the moment that only leaving home can provide. Following her heart’s calling meant a complete rejection of the mundane, “normal” path her parents had had in pots. She had a bigger vision for herself and Blue Chalk Stick plants everywhere. Sylvia wanted to be blown by different winds, taste a new flavor of soil and, for this, she was cast of out of certain succulent circles. But she was nothing if not true to herself. Her experiments with travel were horizontal at first and then she discovered verticality, pushing her expansion up and over the cement wall to reach the sidewalk. While hanging over the edge was thrilling at times, she suspected she may need some help to have the REAL excitement. One day a light went on, she had the brilliant idea of mailing herself like a letter! If only she could get inside of the mailbox, then she could just mail herself to someplace exotic! And look at her now. She’s nearly there! Go, Sylvia!! Don’t ever give up your dream of adventure! #losangelesplantlife #cactuschronicles #suckerforsucculents #bluechalkstick
