Nature provides us an abundance of healing compounds in the plants that surround us on this planet. Although plants seem very different from us, they have to deal with many of the same challenges we have and they have developed chemical ways of dealing with these challenges over the eons.

Learning to fly
When we stand on the edge of the now moment and look into the unknown, our heart may find itself feeling uneasy. I liken this uneasy feeling to the quivering of muscles just before they burst into action. In this case the heart area is where our “wing” muscles attach. While this is a metaphor, […]

Cold Crunch
I love chips. I love the crunchy, salty, wonderfulness of it all. The evolution of all the flavors and styles has been amazing. I am dating myself when I remember the only choices were straight and wavy cut potato chips. Barbecue flavor was an amazing discovery back then. Now entire isles in the grocery store […]
