Day 68/365 – On female brains
Day 683/9/17Continuing from yesterday’s post on the feminine, I wanted to share with you a book I’m currently reading, called “Unleash the Power of the Female Brain,” by Dr. Daniel G. Amen, a neurologist. The book is easy to read, while simultaneously having a lot of scientific data to support case reports presented by the […]
Day 67/365 – On feminine reawakening
Day 673/8/17 In light of International Women’s Day (observed everywhere but United States, it would seem), I wanted to dedicate this post to femininity. It seems that the world has once cherished the feminine, and recognized it in the divine, in Mother Earth, in paintings, in culture, and tradition. The previous era, however, has lost […]
Day 66/365 – On Saturn returns
Day 66 (scary!)3/7/2017 I realized something profound today. And, no, it’s not that getting older gets harder and harder every year (although celebrating it with younger people does, hmph). I realized that no matter what, I will be okay. No matter what worries or fears plague me today about the uncertainties of tomorrow, I will […]
Day 64/365 – On herbal resources
Day 65 3/6/17 Since I’ve been studying herbalism, I have been asked by more science-trained people (pharmacists, doctors, etc.) for resources that I use. I wanted to share some amazing and reputable resources – whether you are starting out in your own studies or if you’ve been trained in another field. Here they are: Herbalist&Alchemist (David […]
Day 64/365 – On shrooms
Day 643/5/17 Since I began to study herbalism, I got a newfound respect for mushrooms. The fungi kingdom is actually more closely related to animals (and therefore humans) than the plant kingdom, and as such offers us a lot of potential symbiotic benefits. Although plants give us oxygen, and support our bodies and spirits with […]
Day 63/365 – On 2-ingredient pancakes
Day 6303/04/17 I was over my friend’s house the other day and she shared an amazing recipe with me: 2 ingredient pancakes! She was making it for her toddler, but it’s a great treat for adults as well. I decided to try it at home and it was a big success. Later I found out […]
Day 62/365 – On oil cleansing
Day 6203/03/17 I’ve been working on an article for skin health, mainly acne, for a while now. It’s taking up a long time because the research in the field is vast and daunting. But green lights all ahead – I’m almost done! Here is a sneak peak about oil cleansing as a way to balance […]
Day 61/365 – On dreaming of a better tomorrow
Day 6103/02/17 I have a dream. I dream of a future where people learn from the past and present, to progress to a better tomorrow. I dream that medical care will build from the ground up, nurturing our young and instilling preventative measures to maintain good health. I dream that community will come together and […]
Day 60/365 – On impromptu recipes
Day 6003/01/17 An exciting start to a new month – I got my CSA (Crop Share Alliance) pickup of seasonal local goodies today! I signed up to receive shares of vegetables, poultry and eggs (they have other opt-ins too, including baked goods and dairy – check them out!) today. This was week three of the […]
Day 59/365 – On tea drinking
Day 592/28/17 Wow, February sure flew by quick! It is a short month by calendar days, but it seemed extra short this year! So far we had a very volatile, mostly freakishly warm winter, exceptionally rainy and minimal snow. Still, rain or snow or shine, a hot cup of tea always makes the day better […]
