Essential oils are highly potent medicine that deserve to be used with respect & care. I’m an old school herbalist and I truly and deeply believe in the use of WHOLE unadulterated/unprocessed herbs when used as medicine (especially for internal use)- the way mother nature created them. AND in the same breath, I admit that […]
Musings
Stuff to think about…
How Do I Get Off Of Chocolate?
Dear I Want to Quit Chocolate, My first question for you is why? I’m a big believer in enjoying life to the fullest including indulging in a sweet treat every now and again. I find that trying to go cold turkey forevermore with health or diet fads or completely depriving yourself of things that you […]
Stress, Tension & Anxiety, OH MY!

It shows us our darkness and pushes us to want to give up in life, but doing so will make Saturn’s influence even more harsh. To persevere […]
