I just got back from having my teeth cleaned. While it’s not on my top-100 list of favorite things to do, it seems to be one of those necessary evils. However, the last two cleanings have been short and, while not pleasant, weren’t...
Now that Samhain is over, according to retailers (as I mentioned in another post), we’re officially into the Christmas season. But not for everyone! My school, American College of Healthcare Sciences just posted on Facebook about how they...
I read several blogs every day … keeping up with what’s happening outside my small world. One I read echoed my sentiments almost exactly. Rue was bemoaning the fact that the day after Samhain/Hallowe’en, Walmart is...
So … what are you going to be doing on Saturday? Handing out treats to the kiddies (big and small) who come to your door? Going to a costume party? Celebrating the original reason for the holiday? When we lived in the city, we handed out...
I don’t believe in coincidence. I believe everything happens for a reason. It’s just a question of waiting to see why something happened. Let me explain: A year or so ago, a candle maker across the aisle from us at a fair gave me a...
Well, not wine (although that gives me some ideas) … Despite my best efforts, I managed to pick up my husband’s cold. Coupled with the (usually mild) fall allergies, I haven’t been feeling my best. The worst part was the...

Although my friends in Florida (where the temps are still relatively high) are choking on their coffee at this, we had to close up the house and turn on the heat earlier this week. I know it will warm up again for a couple of weeks but that got...
I got into a “discussion” on a forum recently on the use of Comfrey Symphytum officinale. One woman whom I do not know nor know her qualifications, stated that the “scare” over the use of comfrey is another attempt by Big...
I was doing some meditating on one of my totems, the bear, and got to thinking about his/her stereotypical favorite food – honey (or as Winnie the Pooh would say, “hunny”). OK, I’ll admit. Honey isn’t exactly...
Sunday is a day near and dear to my heart – International Chocolate Day. Chocolate (being one of the four major food groups in our household) really does have some health benefits. As a matter of fact, dark chocolate is one of Dr...
Last Friday was Oatmeal Day. (And since Saturday was “Be Late for Something Day”, I’m following suggestions.) Call me weird, but I grew up eating oatmeal in the winter and still like it. Hot, a little brown sugar & milk...
