I was inspired by lavender fields in the South of France . . .
Everyone has a story; mine begins in the French countryside, with delightful childhood dreams in peaceful fields of lavender.
I grew up in the States, but had extended family in Annot, France (not far from Nice). As a child, I visited Annot every other year or so, and these memories are some of my fondest. Romping through bucolic fields of sunflowers and lavender with my five cousins by day, we were reluctant to spend any time indoors. Come nighttime, we loved camping out in the flower fields near the vineyards under our floaty kid-made shelters.
Immersing ourselves in an abundance of fresh air and good food, we enjoyed long days in the sun and cool evenings under the stars. Sleeping in the flower fields, I experienced particularly captivating and peaceful dreams, some of them even prophetic (but that’s another story). We always slept soundly, awaking the next morning fully restored and energized for the coming day's adventures.
Those memories of delightful dreams born in this rustic setting have never left me - the crisp, restful, and restorative scents of lavender, chamomile, roses, lemon verbena. Now, many years later, I wanted to recreate the wonder and enchantment I experienced as a child running through those fields, sleeping well at night and dreaming of adventures yet to come.
Thus Dream Field was born. Working and playing as hard as we do in this over-connected world, we all could use a little help sleeping better and relaxing more. We each deserve a break and a chance to breathe in this wonderful life. My dream for you is to embrace these childhood wonders.
