or: how to quit nicotine in four (easy) days. this guy. smoker for over ten years. has tried repeatedly to break the habit, and failed each time. each time he has relied on using a nicotine replacement patch to ‘ease’ symptoms, but didn’t do much else. this time, with a whole new mental attitude in place, […]

magic potion. (ok, lotion)
winter is especially hard this year (we say every year?) I think it’s part of getting old, the toll that the cold weather takes on your body and skin. I have a simple, I mean completely MAGICAL remedy for even the driest-of-dry chapped skin, and the great thing is that the components of it will support healing […]
let’s talk about ginger.
I’m sitting here sipping a delicious cup of tea/bourbon/ginger infused simple syrup, (mainly because I was feeling the tinge of a cold starting, but also because I had made a jar of the syrup last night and needed a good excuse to use it) when I started thinking about how often I turn to ginger for […]
daily time out.
everyone needs a time out now and then. I find that even though I spend a lot of time alone, I still need to place myself in some quiet isolation and just think things through. I used to “lock” myself in the bedroom as the kids were collapsing on the other side of the door […]
new year, new name, new look.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what this year should be about. the whole ‘clean slate’ thing and all. and if you think of it that way, it’s an exciting thing–a fresh carpet rolled out in front of you with nothing but opportunities and adventures. there’s lots of change happening in my life, all things […]
time for a toddy.
you know that feeling–the scratchy throat, dragging body, droopy eyes feeling. it started hitting me halfway through my shift yesterday. when I got home, after eating a quick dinner I whipped up one of these hot toddies, piled on the blankets, and turned on the netflix. (I think I’m due for another dose tonight) […]
are internet friends imaginary friends?
today, after wishing two of my long-time friends happy birthday (via twitter) and realizing that I’d never even met either of them, I began to think about all of the people I easily call friends, yet we’ve only communicated via the web. does this make them any less of a friend, or more? my internet friends […]
time to bake.
(finally) looking back, and realizing that we have moved six times in the past year helps me understand why lately I just feel like sitting on the bed zoning out to back episodes of shows like “keeping up with the kardashians” and “brooklyn nine nine”. mindless brain numbing occupiers of my time. but last […]
so.
sometimes things don’t go as planned. so, alas we are moving again. moving; and moving on. I am ready for peace, and to focus on our goals. life this past year has been seriously crazy. I means seriously crazy; the stress landed me in the hospital the other night. but now, I’m ready to […]
snack time.
I’ve been benefiting greatly from the use of essential oils lately, and sharing them with my friends and family to help them has become one of the best benefits. from helping my little nephew find a solution to his tummy aches, to the awesome sight of my brother in law inhaling peppermint oil for the […]
