Day 70/365 – On gift giving
Day 703/11/17 I think the best gifts are those that come from the heart, with love and consideration. It should show that the person thought about what you would appreciate the most. A good gift is one that the giftee will use, either because it’s something mundane they had a need for, or they consider it […]
Day 69/365 – On one-in-themselves
Day 69 3/10/17 Still going strong with my streak on femininity, today I want to put the spotlight on a show I recently watched: “One in themselves.” Produced by two foreign female artists of French and Italian backgrounds, this play is set in the quaint La Mama Experimental Theater right here in East Village. Not […]
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 […]
