HOPE

Published January 16, 2015

“Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tunes without the words and never stops at all”. Emily Dickinson

Hope is an essential element in any form of healing. Dr. Edward Bach said to never take away from anyone the hope for healing. I am hoping, wishing and praying that this year more and more people will re-connect to nature, so that Mother Earth will receive the much needed support for her healing. Everyone of us can make a difference. Let’s shift our focus to things that really matter and what life is truly about.

MAKE YOUR FOOD YOUR MEDICINES & YOUR MEDICINES YOUR FOOD

Published July 21, 2014

I just got back from teaching at a herb conference in the Kootenays. A special treat was a one day ?foraging? workshop. We harvested herbs and prepared a real feast from the treasures we found. See menu below.

I encourage you to spend time in nature and benefit from the bountiful menu that Mother Earth provides for us. Start ?grazing? and sample the different plants, get to know some of them, be creative and add them to your cooking.

Feel free to share any of your recipes on this page.

Green Blessings,
