For more than 20 years I’ve been infatuated with all things herbs, essential oils and healing with food. I took a few aromatherapist courses. I made healing balms, and cough easing blends for family. I was so into it my kids started calling me the White Witch. But somewhere… it went to the way... Continue Reading →
Life in the… middle years… yeah, middle…
Photo by Ozan u00c7ulha on Pexels.com Y'all... this menopause thing is NO JOKE!!! I'm dying here... between the constant depression, the night sweats, the "9 months pregnant" look when I'm eating all the healthy foods and moving my body, and the list goes on and on... I feel like throwing in the towel!!! I quit!... Continue Reading →

Healthy(ier) eating
I'm really trying to get my health going in the right direction again... one meal at a time. I'm not going to lie, it's not easy. You know what is easy? Running down the street to Culver's, or downtown for Mexican, or Italian... But... it's easier on my pocketbook and my cholesterol if I cook... Continue Reading →

Getting my life back…
Y'all, I think I'm taking my life back... or maybe my life is taking me back... either way, I'm so glad. I've been leaving my phone... like when I go upstairs or downstairs, I don't even think about taking my phone! This is HUGE for me. I always have my phone near by in case... Continue Reading →
In the moment…
Does anyone else have trouble being completely in the moment? It's awful! My mind is always in 10+ different places. Always! When I'm watching tv, listening to music, cooking, crocheting, talking on the phone, meditating (though this one is getting better), driving, blogging... you name it. Even when I'm reading!! I often have to read... Continue Reading →
Do you meditate?
Well, my intention was to get back here on Wednesday but that's the day I get to spend with DD so... that didn't happen. Then I just knew it would be yesterday, Thursday, but, alas... it also didn't happen. So here we are today and I have no idea what I want to say. So... Continue Reading →
Nature heals
You guys I am so ready for fall. I’m ready for cooler temperatures, sweaters, evenings around the fire pit, pumpkins, mums and just all of it. It cooled off this week and I’m so glad. It’s still pretty warm, but my walks are so much nicer and I have more opportunities to sit out... Continue Reading →
