Herbs to Support the Heart in Times of Grief :: 💔🌿❤️🌹Grief isn't a subject that’s fun to feel into, easy to confront, or effortless to talk about. With the English language being so limited, there’s

"We all carry a wound inside of us. It is a part of what makes us human. But for every wound on this Earth there grows a medicine." 💗🌿 Sajah Popham, Evolutionary Herbalism: Science, Medicine,

LOL, you're a woman after my own heart - deciding to give the Ruth Stout video "a bit of my precious time, expecting to skim the thing as I usually do." I skim. Yes, there are consequences. Still,

Also, I'm glad you don't plan to "dump" Sam. :) He sounds like Good People. Which reminds me of this song I keep revisiting: All of the people who care about you, and all of the people that you

Oops, my reply showed up in the wrong place. You'd said you feel a recipe coming on. I'll have to look online for how to cook with turnips and other root veggies. They are VERY HARD and therefore difficult

Bring it on! My mom and grandma never planted rutabaga (or turnips) and I didn't even see the things in grocery stores, so I never learned how to grow or cook with this mystery-veggie.

Your garden is amazing! You always amaze me. Lettuce growing in the snow. This is one time I dare to ask "What next?" (the most dangerous question: I've learned not to even THINK it.) Have you

His work shirts, caps, coats, and boots - those affect us maybe even more than the tractor, as these are tactile things inside the house and to walk into his computer area and see his jacket draped over

Aww, thanks for reading - and GETTING IT, as always. Yes, the tractor was my grandpa's, and it got sold at auction. Yes, our daughter has high standards - which can interfere with living life to the fullest.

Bubble lights - you DID get them up, despite the bad day, so that's something... You can't hire help if you don't have insurance? Homeowners, liability? Wait, your hashtag specifies health insurance. You

Your brother - the tree stand - the fall. Eight hours before he was found; two more hours (almost) getting him out; a year before he could wiggle a toe; how many years before he could walk. Paralyzed at

#LOVE all your comments today, and love your trees, and your resourcefulness, and your photos. You're the best!!!!

It will always feel like yesterday - when it's your son, your own flesh and blood, yes. Even when it's a father and three sisters - it's in the bones, in the blood. As a mother of a son, I know that losing

Well, that's sad. They should provide support and appreciation for the work I produce but instead, they give a negative response, I'm sad, but I realize that we can't please everyone in this world, even

What a great opening to a haunting story! Two words. Every trauma, heartache and pain she’d been through was summarised in two words. Safe space. At least a friendship is forged, at the end, but oh, man,

Prolia injections for the treatment of osteoporosis - My sister and I both tested minus 2.5 on the Dexa scale. She's been on Fosamax (Alendronate) for more than a year now. I refused to take it. Of course

Botox for migraine - let me know if it helps! I asked my family doctor for a referral but he said no. Neurologists here might do them. Nobody here does Botox for TMJ - or, I need to search harder. Insurance

Three years later, I still cannot walk to the river due to the massive, massive fallen trees blocking the way. Not a deer path in sight! Our dogs cannot straddle the trees, and there are SO MANY, and the
