Welcome to my Sweetest Grass Roots Devotionals!
Sweetest Grass Roots Devotionals is about making a promise to devote time and give sacred space to our healing, our internal processes. I share my practice with you in hopes it inspires you to create your own. To show the way with words and images steeped within my subconscious tea brought to life on canvas, in songs, stories and spirit journeys. How to live more deeply within your awareness and connection of the microcosmic world, and in turn our macrocosmic universe.
The inspiration…
My devotional practice that I share with my subscribers is a way for me to be the change I wish to see in the world. It is my hope to serve as an inspiration, and perhaps, to be a more practical guide to living a deeper life in this crazy world.
It is definitely a way for me to stay connected to humanity from my remote little corner of the world, and show my children that you can follow your dreams.
The title “Sweetest Grass Roots Devotionals” started out as just a hashtag at the bottom of my Facebook and blog posts: #sweetestgrassrootsdevotionals, and then it seems to have just exploded from there in all of its possibility.
I chose this hashtag as a way to honor my Grandmothers’ Sweet Grass Medicine that has made such a difference in my own life. It is a way for me to reconnect with my ancestors; almost all of whom had access to sweet grass for their own spiritual practices. Yes, there is the assumption that they actually utilized sweet grass in their daily lives. I like to think so.
I do know that when I smell sweet grass, I can feel a deeper connection to my Grandmothers every time. I am instantly transported. Standing with all my female ancestors in a circle. A spiral that continues to move outward from me all the way back to the first one. Or perhaps, more appropriately, she is at the center of the spiral and I am on the outer edge of the thread that continues walking forward her legacy.

A little bit about me…
Hello! IEM… Isabella Emma Moon Eagle McClellan
I am a Grass-Roots Healer, Professional Artist, Published Writer and Journalist; Massage, Yoga and Energy Therapist; Priestess w/ ULC Clergy and Usui Reiki Master.
Before undergoing decades of training as an adult, I spent my childhood running through the mountain ranges of the United States. The Smokey Mountains of Tennessee, the Carolina's deep auburn fall leaves, upstate New York's Bear Mountain filled with blue slate stone, our own beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountain Range where the humming bird roams free, and the awe-inspiring Redwood Forests of California/Oregon. I am a day-dreamer who whispers with the flowers, speaks to the trees, and sends messages on the wind.
All of which will definitely show up in my writing and daily practices for living a deeper life in this crazy world.
We are a blended family with eight humans, an elderly service dog, and a service pup in training! Half of our kids are just starting out as adults on their own, and the other three are still running around here somewhere. :)
So it is no small thing for us to say Thank YOU for Your Support of My Life's Great Work with Sweetest Grass Roots Devotionals @ Three Sisters’ Grove, which is a whole other story! Stay tuned!
Love and Light,
Isabella (that’s me!), Mr. Figgles (service dog), Lady Shadow (pup in training) & Family
