The Birth of a Blog

And there's so many out there! But I really, REALLY want to holler to the world, in the years I have been studying alternative therapies and herbalism, the things I've learned can help you on your way to a happier, more vibrant, exciting life.

Here you'll find herbal information, tips on remedies, and wellness practices toward improved health. To note, I believe our world would not turn without doctors. Many of them are in my family. I also believe that health starts with you. It begins with your thoughts, ends with your thoughts, and includes everything in between. That means what you feel, think, eat, do, say and believe all play a critical role in your health and happiness. This blog is here to help you with those things.

Your health is dependent upon the air you breathe, the soap you use, the clothing you wear, the exercise you take part in, the amount of self-care you give yourself. It is dependent upon the amount of sunlight you get, the quality of your drinking water, and your quality of life. It's dependent upon how you manage stress. How you sleep, how dark the room is, and how deeply you sleep. In addition to sleep you need rest. You need fun. You need good food for your belly, food for your mind, and food for your heart.

For all of those reasons, you will find this as a comprehensive resource, and a space for reflection on your health and the ways you contribute to wellness or disease in your life. Wow that sounds boring - But it ISN'T! You will find fun recipes for healthy dinners, bakery, treats for your tummy, and treats for your soul. You will find information about energetic medicine, ideas for healthier housekeeping, and even how to know what to look for in your beauty products!

This blog, is NOT however, about hardcore extreme alternative lifestyles and habits. While I really love the less beaten path, and consider myself on it, this blog is more about how to live in this world, but also making a concious effort toward wellness and balance. Believe me, I love Oreos just as much as that nine year old kid down the block. Maybe moreso. But Oreos, though eager to make their way into my everyday menu, have a place in my life, and their place is well-known to me. This is not about going off the deep end and banishing every aspect of your life that you enjoy, for the sake of healthfulness. This is about making your choices, knowing why you made them, and believing in your decision. It's about creating balance amisdst a world of chaos.

I hope you find it fun, useful and educational!
